Premium — AU$22 p/mStan’s Premium plan offers 4K viewing on four screens at the same time, priced at AU$22p/m. Additionally, you can download content across five different devices. Much like the Stan standard plan, this plan comes in at a higher price point compared to premium plans on other streaming services.

With no shortage of streaming options available in Australia, it can be tough to figure out which ones are worth paying for, or aren’t worth turning on the TV for. Stan has been a mainstay within the Australian market, and is arguably the home to Aussie-based productions and titles, in addition to having a number of classic TV shows and new release movies within its library. It’s still competitively priced within the market, and does offer the opportunity to also tune into some sport, but whether it’s worth watching will be entirely dependent on what you or your family enjoy watching. But, with a 30-day free trial available, it doesn’t hurt to see what all the fuss is about. If you’d like help narrowing down your options, Canstar Blue has compiled the best TV shows and movies on Stan for your viewing pleasure, giving you a good base to start from.

Stan Australia plans and prices

Both plans include the same features, with unlimited downloads and the ability to stream on up to four screens at the same time. Just a day before Disney Plus’s new Australian pricing tiers have locked in, yet another Aussie streaming service has seen fit to hike prices. Stan, the very first Australian-owned streaming platform, has recently pushed the price of its Basic subscription up by an extra AU$2, so you’ll now have to fork out AU$12 per month for its cheapest plan. For now, that price increase thankfully only applies to new sign ups. But given how many video streaming services are on offer these days, it might shed some light on why ad-supported video subscriptions are increasing in Australia.

Whether Stan is good value for money really comes down to necessity – it’s still one of the more affordable streamers on a month-to-month cost with its AU$12 Basic plan, but you are limited to that one SD stream. Kayo is a streaming platform that provides access to a wealth of sports, from basketball to cricket, motorsports and soccer. Like Stan, you can also watch Stan Sport on a variety of devices and hardware, including Smart TVs, gaming consoles, computers and laptops as well as through media streaming devices such as Google Chromecast, Telstra TV and Fetch.

The majority of internet plans come with unlimited data so you don’t need to worry about capacity. It’s more a matter of speed, which is a resourced shared across the devices in your home. The price you pay determines stream quality, the number of simultaneous streams you can have and the number of devices you save content to for offline streaming. Stan starts at $12 per month and is available in three different price packages. Stan’s library is home to a host of Australian content including Stan good Originals.
