Kanopy is not the only free video streaming service, however. The public library or university associated with your account taps into those resources and covers the access costs, thus allowing patrons to watch for free with no ads. How is Kanopy free? It starts with the brick-and-mortar libraries that offer a variety of digital resources they’ve bought for their patrons. More serious film buffs have to pay more for Mubi and The Criterion Channel, which each cost $10.99 per month. Other comparable streaming services, such as PBS Documentaries ($3.99 per month) and CuriosityStream ($2.99 per month), are not free but are still affordable. Major streaming services like Netflix ($8.99 per month), Hulu ($5.99 per month), and Amazon Prime Video ($8.99 per month) have video libraries that can compete with the size of Kanopy's, but all of those require paid subscriptions. All you need is a library card or a university email address to sign up for the service.
