The cheapest single country for all your subscriptions

Published October 2026 · every figure below is read from the dataset at build time, last October 2026 · methodology

Most "cheapest country" lists rank one subscription at a time. Nobody pays for one. If you were to move your subscriptions to another country's prices, you would move them together — one VPN location, one payment method, one region to keep up — so the useful question is which single country is cheapest for the whole set. Here it is for three typical sets, from five home countries, as of October 2026.

The rule is the one our calculator uses: the country that prices the most of the set, then the one that saves most on it, using each subscription's main plan.

One country, or the cheapest country for each?

From the United States, the streaming set saves $700 a year in Egypt alone. Buying each subscription in its own cheapest country would save $712 — $12.48 more, at the cost of 3 separate regions, each with its own VPN location at signup and its own payment hurdle. For most people the single country is the better trade.

Why the answer is usually the same handful of countries

The countries that win are the ones where the big services all price for local incomes at the same time. Against those incomes the same prices are often not cheap at all. The Subscription Price Index ranks every country across all subscriptions, and each country page shows what its basket costs in hours of local work.

Before you move a whole set

Each subscription reads your country at signup and checks the payment method; moving several at once multiplies the chances that one of them fails or later asks you to confirm your region, and it is against each vendor's terms. Catalogues differ too: the same streaming service carries different films in different countries. Read what that means in practice before you decide the saving is worth it.
