Which top streaming services did Paramount+ subscribers also hold?

Netflix was the most common companion service, held by 38.9% of the 16,066 active direct-billed Paramount+ subscribers.

Assumptions & Methodologies

YipitData analyzed its U.S. e-receipt panel on August 3, 2026, using a trailing 52-week window from August 3, 2025 through August 2, 2026. The cohort contained 16,066 active direct-billed Paramount+ subscribers. Active status required the latest lifecycle signal to indicate payment, renewal, or a plan change; cancellations, pauses, free trials, app-store billing, and carrier bundles were excluded. Rates divide each overlap count by 16,066 and are rounded to one decimal. Every service exceeded the 300-active-subscriber reliability threshold. DirecTV's overlap count was 224, so its 1.4% rate should be interpreted directionally. Panel counts are not census totals.
