Quick Answer
Apollo Group TV costs $6.25–$20/month depending on plan length, versus a typical cable bill averaging around $83/month. Beyond price, the two differ in contract terms, channel count and equipment requirements.
Cost, Plan by Plan
| Service | Monthly Cost | Contract |
|---|---|---|
| Cable TV (typical) | ~$83/mo | Often 1–2 years |
| Apollo Group TV — Starter | $20.00/mo | None (1-month term) |
| Apollo Group TV — Silver | $11.67/mo | None (3-month term) |
| Apollo Group TV — Gold | $9.17/mo | None (6-month term) |
| Apollo Group TV — Platinum | $6.25/mo | None (12-month term) |
Even the shortest, priciest Apollo Group TV plan (Starter, $20/month) comes in well under typical cable pricing — and there's no multi-year commitment on any of the four plans.
Feature Comparison
No Equipment Fees
No cable box rental, no installation appointment — Apollo Group TV runs through an app on a device you likely already own.
Larger Channel Count
90,000+ live channels across the USA, UK, Canada, Australia and 80+ other countries — typically far beyond a standard cable package.
No Long-Term Contract
Plans are prepaid terms with no auto-renewal by default and no early-termination penalties.
Depends on Your Internet
Unlike cable's dedicated signal, IPTV streams over your home broadband — a stable connection (10 Mbps+ for HD, 25 Mbps+ for 4K) matters more here than it does for cable.
What to Weigh Before Switching
The trade-off is straightforward: cable's higher price buys a signal that doesn't depend on your internet connection, while Apollo Group TV trades that for a much lower monthly cost, a larger channel count, and no contract — provided your internet is stable enough to support it. If you already stream other services reliably, that's usually a good sign your connection can handle it too. Test it risk-free with a free trial before cancelling cable.
