Frequency of Commercials on Different Streaming Providers

Peacock

NBC’s up and coming streaming platform allows all users to watch shows, live channels, tv shows, and other forms of entertainment for free. However, these free streaming platforms come with a catch, which is the commercial break. 

The platform allows five minutes or so per hour of advertisements. Although the frequency of ads depends on the device and show you are watching, you can expect to see roughly seven to eight commercials.

Hulu

With Hulu ad-supported plan which costs 6.99/month. Most users who use Hulu ad-supported complain of too many ads and switch to the  full version. Personally I used both Hulu and Peacock ad versions. I feel peacock has less ads compared with Hulu and most of peacock ads are related to new shows or movies that they are streaming in Peacock.

HBO Max

In HBO Max with an ad supported plan for $10, you will watch almost four minutes of ads per hour.

Discovery Plus

The ads in the discovery plus are few when compared with Hulu and are similar to peacock.

Does Peacock Premium Has Commercials During Movies

Yes, it has advertisements and various commercial breaks between shows and movies. However, in the premium plus version of a peacock, you can expect to see very less length of advertisements and some times you will not see at all.

You will see ads during movies on both free version and premium with ad-supported version.
