Hulu with Live TV (beta)

1. How much does it cost?

$40 a month. Like YouTube TV, Hulu is looking to keep it simple and not split things up across too many tiers of service. This is good and bad: It has the most expensive starting price of the bunch, but arguably the most comprehensive channel package for an entry-level tier.

You can add Showtime separately for another $9 a month.

2. How many channels does it have?

More than 50, though the specific amount varies by region.

Hulu’s trump card is that the Live TV package also includes the company’s core on-demand service, which normally goes for $8 a month.

Either way, this means you have access to the all the on-demand content that comes with a Hulu subscription, plus all the original shows that Hulu produces.
