YouTube TV Advantages

Greatest Strength

Smoother interface, extremely fast channel switching, and customizable guide.

Target Audience

Sports fans looking for the best pure live TV experience and DVR.

Hulu + Live TV Advantages

Greatest Strength

Includes Disney+, ESPN+, and Hulu completely bundled in the core price.

Target Audience

Families looking for a massive on-demand catalog and embedded ESPN+ access for NHL and niche college sports.

The Final Verdict

YouTube TV is fundamentally a better live TV viewer experience, with a faster interface and key-plays functionality. But Hulu + Live TV holds massive value because of the embedded Disney Bundle. If you are an NHL fan or an FCS College Football fan, you need ESPN+ anyway, making Hulu a highly cost-effective bundle.
