A recent report revealed that Disney+ was the most downloaded app in the United States by a mile in Q4 2019. According to data from market research firm Sensor Tower, the app was downloaded a whopping 30 million times on iOS and Android devices last quarter. That’s twice the number of downloads as TikTok, which the firm says was the second-most downloaded app in the fourth quarter. Considering Disney+ didn’t even launch until mid-November, that means it racked up an estimated 30 million downloads in just a month and a half. That is truly staggering, but from our perspective, it’s also potentially a bit troubling. Why? Because so many millions of people have subscribed to Disney+, it’s inevitable that many of them are paying for the service despite the fact that they can get it for free.
As it stands, Disney+ is a truly phenomenal value. For just $6.99 a month or even less if you pay annually, you get unlimited access to the service’s entire catalog of movies and shows from Pixar, Marvel, Disney, and more. There were already an astounding 639 different movies and shows available to stream on Disney+ right out of the gate on launch day, and that figure has only grown since then. $6.99 each month is indeed a small price to pay for access to the service, but why pay any money at all if you don’t have to?
Disney+ offers a crazy amount of value for as little as $5.83 per month on the annual plan. Right from the start, you get nearly all the blockbuster Marvel movies, almost every
