Offline viewing: Hulu added the ability to download and watch content offline. Viewers can download up to 25 titles across five different devices and have up to 30 days to watch their downloaded content in their streaming library. Once a title is started, you have 48 hours to finish it or the download will expire and you’ll have to download it again. This feature is limited to Hulu’s ad-free plans.

Ads in Basic Plan: The ad-supported version includes frequent commercials, which can disrupt viewing experiences.

Limited Simultaneous Streams: Users can only stream on two devices simultaneously unless they pay extra for unlimited streams.

Fewer Originals Compared to Competitors: Hulu has fewer original series compared to platforms like Netflix and Amazon Prime.
