Hulu vs Prime Video
Hulu vs Prime Video — which to pick, what each costs, and how to track either (or both) for free. Add each one in two clicks, pick the price and currency you actually pay, and SubRemind shows the combined cost in your base currency on the dashboard. Both services live in the Entertainment category, so they share the same colour band on the donut chart.

FAQ
Can I track Hulu and Prime Video at the same time in SubRemind?
Yes. There's no limit on subscriptions or overlap between categories. Add Hulu and Prime Video as two separate entries; both will appear in your monthly total, your projection chart, and the upcoming-30-days list.
What if Hulu bills me in a different currency than Prime Video?
That's fine. SubRemind converts each subscription into your chosen base currency using live exchange rates, so a Hulu sub in one currency and a Prime Video sub in another will both appear correctly in your aggregate stats.
Will SubRemind tell me whether to keep Hulu or Prime Video?
No — SubRemind shows you the cost picture but never recommends cancellations. After running both for a month or two, look at the category donut and the upcoming-30-days view to decide which one earns its monthly cost.
Are free trials for Hulu and Prime Video tracked separately?
Yes. Each subscription has its own trial state. You can have Hulu on a free trial while Prime Video is on a paid plan; only the paid one will count toward this month's total.
