How Much Does Apple Tv Cost On Roku

The Great Streaming Showdown: Apple TV+ on Roku (and Your Wallet)

So, you've got a Roku. Smart choice! It’s like the Swiss Army knife of streaming devices, right? But you're also eyeing up Apple TV+. Hmm, now we're talking subscriptions, and things get interesting (and maybe a little stressful for your bank account).

Let’s cut to the chase. Adding Apple TV+ to your Roku doesn’t actually cost you anything…extra. That's right!

You won't find some weird "Roku tax" for daring to watch Ted Lasso on a non-Apple device. Thank goodness!

The Price of Admission: Apple TV+ Itself

Here's the deal. You still have to pay for the Apple TV+ subscription. Think of it like this: your Roku is just the door. Apple TV+ is the party inside, and you need a ticket to get in.

Currently, a monthly subscription to Apple TV+ will set you back a few dollars. Check the latest price on Apple’s website. Prices can shift like sand in a desert storm!

Roku: The Humble Host (Who Doesn't Take a Cut...This Time)

Roku happily (or at least, neutrally) hosts the Apple TV+ app. They don't add any extra fees for the privilege. Good guy, Roku.

They’re more like, "Come one, come all! As long as you’ve paid Apple, you’re welcome to stream here!"

Think of Roku as a landlord renting space to different stores (streaming services). Roku gets paid for the space, Apple get paid for their shows. The rent has been paid and the show has been watched.

Hidden Costs (The Streaming Abyss Stares Back)

Okay, deep breath. There might be a few hidden costs to consider. Are you already paying for multiple streaming services?

Before you know it, you're spending more on entertainment than you do on groceries. Just me? Maybe.

It's easy to subscribe, much harder to remember to cancel! So, keep an eye on those monthly bills. Nobody wants to pay for a service they never use.

An Unpopular Opinion: Is Apple TV+ Worth It?

This is where I might get some tomatoes thrown at me. Is Apple TV+ truly worth adding another subscription to your life? That's the million-dollar question, isn't it?

They do have some great original content (Ted Lasso, anyone?), but their library is smaller than, say, Netflix or Hulu.

My unpopular opinion? Wait for a free trial. Binge-watch everything you want to see, and then cancel if it doesn't grab you. You're welcome.
