Netflix is today the center of attention, the largest platform for streaming video on demand not having any news officially announced, but it is targeted by a launch of a service that is considered a competitor. More precisely, Netflix is seen as one of the big losers of the launch of the Quibi platform in the US, this is also a platform for video streaming on demand, only that it is offered exclusively on mobile phones, and the films and series are available in segments of a maximum of 10 minutes .
Netflix it has no such limitations, and is offered for any platforms, but many people believe that Quibi could be something that could convince many people to give up other platforms, especially those who travel a lot. Quibi is intended for people who commute daily between home and work/school using public transport, but Netflix thought ahead of time about what was to come, and launched special, cheaper mobile subscriptions, but gave up to the free trial month.
Netflix: The RADICAL decision that could REMOVE some Subscribers
Netflix has subscriptions exclusively for mobile terminals, with prices halved compared to normal ones, while Quibi costs 4.99 dollars per month, if subscribers accept to see ads, or 7.99 without ads. Quibi is more expensive than Netflix, but it comes with a very big advantage, three months of free testing, compared to nothing at the second company, and the decision to give up the free service could seriously affect the biggest streaming platform.
Netflix it no longer has a free trial month in many countries since 2019, and with 3 months offered by Quibi, it is as certain as possible that a lot of people will want to test the competing platform. Here Netflix will have a big problem after giving up its free one month, and many will try Quibi, being able to suspend their subscriptions to competing platforms during that 3 month period, if they no longer need to see any content in those meanwhile.
Netflix, in theory, there is nothing to be afraid of, considering how much Quibi's subscriptions cost, but if they become cheaper, then it could be a problem for the company, but this is unlikely to happen.
