Amazon Firestick has one major advantage over the Roku device. You can install apps that are not available on the official App Store. With the APK file or download link, you can install any apps or games using third-party installers. Like that, you can install the Vudu app on your Firestick even though the app is not available on the Amazon App Store.
Vudu is a streaming app but completely different from the rest of the streaming apps. In Netflix, Prime Video, and Hulu, you need to pay monthly or yearly subscriptions to watch video content. But in the Vudu app, you need to pay for the movie or series you want to watch. In this way, you won’t waste your money for a whole month. If you want to see a movie, buy or rent the movie alone in the Vudu app. Vudu is one of the best money-saving streaming apps when compared to Netflix and Prime Video.
