★★★★★ Jessa Albino · Feb 13, 2025

Hi Curiosity Stream Team, I just wanted to share my thoughts on my experience with Curiosity Stream. I’ve really enjoyed the documentary selection—it’s diverse, insightful, and well-produced. It’s great to have access to such high-quality content on a variety of topics. Additionally, I appreciate the customer support team. My interactions have been smooth, and any issues I’ve had were handled efficiently and professionally. It’s reassuring to know that help is readily available when needed. TY

At first bundled with Nebula, free of charge. After one year, it became $20/y, after two years, it raised to $50/y. For a website I never connected to, that's nothing different from a scam. I can't tell you about the service, because I've never used it. Despite never using it, they charged me $200 in a few years, which is a lot for nothing... Garbage, and when you contact support, they cannot cancel the subscription...

★☆☆☆☆ Ahmed Nagy · Jan 5, 2025

Very bad customer service, I don't recommend anyone to subscribe because if any issue happened with the subscription it means you lost your money because there is no customer service in curiosity stream. I will not renew my subscription
