With the holiday season approaching, Roku has cut prices across its entire product range.
This adjustment makes them considerably less expensive than the popular Amazon Fire Sticks.
The entry-level Roku Streaming Stick 2025 HD is priced at £19.99, which is a 33% reduction from its regular price of £29.99.
This model boasts enhanced connectivity compared to the older Roku Express, reducing the likelihood of buffering interruptions during your favorite shows.
Additionally, it includes a voice-enabled remote control, allowing you to quickly find content, adjust the volume, and power on your TV.
Amazon's least expensive Fire Stick is currently priced at £39.99, which is double the cost of the Roku Streaming Stick 2025.
Meanwhile, the Roku Streaming Stick Plus 2025, which supports 4K streaming, is now available for just £24.99 instead of £39.99.
Amazon's comparable product is priced at £49.99.
It's important to note that Fire Stick prices are likely to decrease as Black Friday approaches, as Amazon frequently discounts its own devices.
The duration of Roku's price reductions remains uncertain.
For those unfamiliar with Roku products, there are numerous free streaming options available, including its own channel, The Roku Channel, which features a variety of originals and "premium entertainment."
Other noteworthy services include Pluto TV, Plex, and Tubi.
SWAP YOUR STREAMS TO SAVE!
Here’s some cost-cutting advice from The Sun’s tech editor Sean Keach …
If you're like many, you may find yourself spending more on subscriptions than you'd prefer each month.
It’s easy to lose track of expenses, and the fear of missing out can make it difficult to cancel services like Netflix.
However, if you're subscribed to multiple streaming services, you might be making a significant financial mistake.
Instead, consider a strategy known as stream swapping.
Cancel all your TV subscriptions except Netflix, then binge-watch all the content you want on the app.
After that, cancel Netflix and subscribe to another service, such as Disney+.
Enjoy the great content there, then switch to Amazon Video.
Repeat this process with three or four services, and then return to Netflix at the beginning.
This approach allows you to access all the top content on each platform without paying for them simultaneously.
You may also benefit from attractive sign-up offers.
This strategy could save you hundreds of pounds each year if you stick to it.
