Philo vs. Sling TV: The battle of the budget live TV streamers

Philo does one thing well; Sling TV can almost do it all. We break down everything you need to know about the least-expensive live TV streaming services.
Philo and Sling TV are two of the least expensive live TV streaming services available, with plans starting at under $50. Tempting, right? But, before you take out your credit card, there are a few details you’ll need to know before you make the switch from a pricier service like YouTube TV or Hulu + Live TV.
For starters, Philo doesn’t carry any sports, news, or local channels, just entertainment networks like A&e, HGTV, and Paramount Network. Sling TV, on the other hand, features a wider variety of channels that can be enhanced with several available add-on channel packs to get more sports, movies, or whatever else you might be looking for. Let’s get into the differences between Philo and Sling TV.
