On the free streaming side, Vudu offers a rotating lineup of movies and TV episodes that can be watched without a subscription, although it doesn’t include any original content. The free section includes ads that can’t be fast-forwarded and is similar to free ad-supported streaming services like Tubi and Pluto TV.
Vudu.com/start integrates its paid and free offerings so that if you’re searching for a particular movie or TV show, you can easily see what options are available for viewing, and opt to watch the free version with ads instead of paying for a rental or purchase.
Thanks to Vudu’s integration with Fandango, users looking for movies in theaters on the Fandango site can also see if any of those movies are available for rental or purchase on Vudu, making the combined service a one-stop resource for multiple types of movie-watching.
