I recently pointed to a sampling that showed the difference in content between Hulu and Hulu Plus, but it turns out the examples were a bit too selective.
A more broad study shows that, at this early stage, 88 percent of the content on Hulu Plus is available on the free Hulu.com. To be fair, that does equate to more than 3,000 TV episodes. But the study found that if you then compare to Netflix, much of the Hulu Plus content is available commercial free on Netflix.
There’s definitely exceptions, but it appears Hulu has some work to do to bring its library to parity with Netflix, who has been aggressively locking down deals lately, let alone exceed it to be charging more and require ads, as opposed to Netflix which is commercial-free.
Meanwhile, an enterprising soul tried to put together an infographic. Hulu Plus acquits itself well here, but some obvious changes have already occurred, such as the widespread availability of Family Guy on Netflix, which would therefore beat Hulu Plus. Still, it helps illustrate the differences. See the infographic after the jump:
