Crackle
Among the other four major contenders HULU, Amazon, HBO and Netflix, Crackle has been around in the IPTV industry for quite a few years. It was launched as a part of SONY content in 2009.
Since then, they have been making a big leap in new upcoming series and original programming. This makes Crackle one of the best streaming apps available for firestick.
Their one of the most famous and well-recognized original content ‘Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee by Jerry sienfield won Emmy Nominations recently. Some of the other original programmes are ‘SuperMansion,' ‘Chosen,' “The Art of More.' But they failed to gather attention due to non-comedy and long-hour dramas.
Tubi
Something that catches the attention of the audience is giving them everything that they need for free. It is very difficult to take down the two biggest IPTV giants of America, i.e., Netflix and Hulu.
Tubi is a free app and one of the most active users that uses web services to broadcast their content to you. They also have applications that are compatible with tablets, iphones, computers, and many more to enhance your experience.
You must be wondering, ‘How are they able to generate income by giving services for free? The answer is through ‘advertisements.' They generate their revenue through advertisements and other commercials. Then the company pays them for every ad that is being clicked.
Freeform
Earlier known as ABC Family, Freeform is another broadcasting and streaming application that gives you the ability to watch your favorite episodes anywhere in the United States.
You can find Freeform applications on the iTunes app store on any Apple device, Google Play Store, or Amazon app store. Choose your IPTV provider to sign in to their systems, and then you will be given a few options to view the pre-recorded Freeform programs or live streams.
Freeform really lives up to its expectations for keeping up with the latest content and trends, especially among teenagers and young women. It has a fairly decent pricing list as compared to the other expensive services.
Pluto TV
The best thing that makes Pluto TV stand out from the crowd is that it is completely free and could be a great alternative for your cable television. They have some of the best features of live video streaming and downloading from their downloader that even the paid services don't have.
Many channels have a diverse mixture of programs, live shows, pre-recorded clips from all across the world with top-notch quality. They have a wide range of TV streaming services, and some of them are not traditional. Luckily, they have the solution for that too.
They have a set of channels that only air at a certain time every year and keep changing according to your needs and various events like holidays, festivals, weekends, etc.
PopcornFlix
PopcornFlix assures you that all your favorite channels like Disney, and live streams are just two clicks away. They have a VOD section that has no extra charges. Moreover, it is strongly competing against the other IPTV service providing market giants like Amazon Prime Video, Netflix, Vudu, etc.
We recommend you to use their services as the purpose of fixing your entertainment on a budget. They are available on iOS, Android, and through the ROKU streaming player. In the signup process you have to visit their website and getting your account activated for free. But you can still use their services without creating an account.
However, the only annoying thing that leaves a bad impression on the viewer's perspective is that they insert advertisements randomly in between the stream.
Plex
There's hardly any chance that you searched for the best IPTV services available at your place and you didn't come across ‘Plex,' which has a vast library of all kinds of movies and TV shows. You can watch and share their content on any mobile device or TV.
What makes it a must-have application is that it has a well pre-organized movies and programs list with an attractive layout. There could be no other possible way that lets you find something that you like from thousands of options available.

Airy TV App
It is a free application that has a VOD feature to watch everything that you are looking for. It is available in Apple App Store, Google Play Store, and Amazon App Store. Moreover, it has hundreds of channels along with some applications and ads.
The most annoying thing about this application is that it has a ridiculous amount of ads which ruins the overall experience. And if that's enough, sometimes it's not even available on the app store. So, we recommend you use only reliable IPTV services.
If you do not see Airy TV in any Amazon App Store you can always sideload the app through an easy sideloading process using the Downloader application.
Stremio
The use of cable TV services has decreased in recent years simply because of the availability of the best IPTV services like ‘Stremio.' They have made their system as user-friendly as possible. Moreover, it can be a great application for your home entertainment.
The best thing about Stremio is that it gets downloaded on the user's computer so that there is no hacker or rogue developer running ransomware, malicious codes, or other types of harmful viruses on your system.
You can either use their dedicated application on desktops, laptops, phones, tablets, or just cast it on Apple TV, Chromecast, and other DLNA protocol. They also have add-ons in their database that are fully functioning and help in finding you the most relevant items from your search results. Thus it gets very easy to keep track of the type of content. Moreover, it gets updates of the next show that are being watched currently.
