One streaming bundle or separate plans

Record a bundle as one row at its actual billed price and billing cycle, with the category set to streaming. List its included apps in the name if helpful; do not also enter their individual prices unless you separately pay those charges.

Compare the bundle with the separate plans for the services you actually want. A bundle can still cost less even when you do not use every included app; unused extras alone do not make it a saving.

Compare both options over the same period, including introductory price changes and any required add-ons. Check that the features you want are included, then keep only the charges for the option you choose in the calculator.

Re-check after a season ends. A bundle that was worth it in winter can be the expensive row by spring.
