When there’s hundreds of live TV streaming services out there it can be really hard trying to stand out. Well, Frndly TV does so by offering by a country mile the most affordable streaming service on the menu, even undercutting what you probably thought were the cheapest out there: Sling TV and Philo TV.
However, this price does mean making certain sacrifices regarding content such as lack of sports and news channels (although the entertainment channel offering is still decent). And while it’s an affordable price it isn’t completely free, we have a whole other list of free streaming service that you can peruse separately.

Frndly TV price
You can sign up for Frndly TV for just $7.99 per month. If you're scratching your head and thinking that's a typo, it's not: Frndly TV is the cheapest TV streaming service by a big margin, costing less than a Disney Plus, Apple TV Plus or Hulu subscription.
That cost is for the cheapest plan, Basic. There are pricier options in Classic or Premium plans that cost more, at $9.99 and $11.99 respectively, and we'll explore those in more detail later.
For some comparison the next most expensive rival is Philo TV which costs $25 monthly, and then you jump up to Sling which sets you back $40 per month, so Frndly TV is really in a league of its own.
Making the sign-up more tempting is the fact that Frndly TV offers a 7-day free trial, so you can test it out without committing and leave if you're not enjoying the experience.
