Angel Studios is a streaming service run by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, with a monthly or annual subscription model
Angel Studios offers films and television shows selected or produced by the church. The service costs $14.99 per month or $119.99 per year (roughly $10 per month if paid annually). You can watch on multiple devices with a single account, though the number of simultaneous streams varies by plan tier.
The library focuses on faith-based, family-friendly content. Some titles are exclusive to Angel Studios; others are licensed from other producers. The service does not require a cable subscription or membership in the church to watch.
Unlike some streaming services, Angel Studios does not offer a free trial period. You pay for your first month upfront. The subscription renews automatically each month or year unless you cancel.

What content is included with a subscription
Angel Studios produces original series and films, including The Chosen (a multi-season drama about the apostles), Becoming (a documentary series), and Christmas Under Wraps. The service also licenses content from other studios, though the full catalog changes over time.
Most titles are rated G, PG, or PG-13. The service does not carry R-rated films or mature television content. If you search for a specific title, you can check whether it is available before you pay.
Angel Studios does not publish a complete list of every title in its library. You can browse by category (drama, documentary, family, holiday) on the website or app to see what is currently available.
How to set up and manage your subscription
You create an account on the Angel Studios website or through the mobile app. You will need an email address and a payment method (credit card, debit card, or PayPal). After you enter your payment details, your subscription begins immediately and you can start watching.
You can download the Angel Studios app on iOS, Android, Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, and some Samsung smart TVs. You can also watch through a web browser on a computer.
To cancel, log into your account on the website, go to account settings, and select the option to cancel your subscription. Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing cycle, so you keep access until your next renewal date would have occurred. If you cancel mid-month, you do not receive a refund for the unused portion.
Simultaneous streams and device limits
Angel Studios allows multiple people to watch on different devices at the same time, but the exact number of simultaneous streams depends on your plan. Standard plans typically allow two or three streams at once. If a fourth person tries to watch while the limit is reached, they will see a message asking them to wait or upgrade.
You can add profiles within your account so that family members have their own watch history and recommendations. Parental controls are available if you want to restrict access to certain content.
Pricing compared to other faith-based streaming services
Angel Studios is one of several streaming services focused on religious or family-friendly content. Pureflix costs $9.99 per month or $99.99 per year and carries Christian films and shows. Dove Channel (owned by the Dove Foundation) costs $4.99 per month or $49.99 per year. RightNow Media is primarily a church-based service and costs $10 per month, though many churches pay for memberships on behalf of their congregation.
Angel Studios is more expensive than Dove Channel but comparable to Pureflix. If you are looking for the lowest-cost option, Dove Channel is cheaper. If you want access to The Chosen specifically, that title is exclusive to Angel Studios.
What happens if you stop paying
If your payment method fails or you do not have sufficient funds, Angel Studios will attempt to charge you again. If the charge continues to fail, your account will be suspended and you will lose access to the service. You will not be able to watch until you update your payment method and the charge goes through.
If you cancel your subscription intentionally, your access ends at the end of your current billing period. You can reactivate your account at any time by logging back in and entering a payment method again.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I share my Angel Studios account with people outside my household?
Angel Studios' terms of service state that accounts are for personal use by the account holder and their household. Sharing login credentials with people outside your home may violate the terms. The service can detect simultaneous streams from different locations and may flag or suspend accounts that show unusual activity patterns.
Does Angel Studios offer a student discount or family plan?
Angel Studios does not currently offer student discounts or multi-account family plans. One subscription covers multiple people in your household watching at the same time, but each household needs its own account. Some churches offer group subscriptions at a discount; check with your local congregation if you are a member.
Can I watch Angel Studios content offline?
The mobile app allows you to download some titles to watch without an internet connection. Downloaded content expires after a set period, and you must be connected to the internet periodically to verify your subscription is active. Not all titles are available for download.
What if I want to watch a specific movie and I am not sure if it is on Angel Studios?
You can search for a title on the Angel Studios website without logging in. If the title appears in the search results, it is available to subscribers. If it does not appear, it is not currently part of the service. You can also contact Angel Studios support through their website to ask about specific content.
Is there a difference between Angel Studios and the church's other media platforms?
Angel Studios is a separate streaming service from the church's official website and the Church News app. Angel Studios focuses on entertainment content (films and series), while the church's other platforms carry news, talks, and religious instruction. You do not need a church membership or account to use Angel Studios.
