Disney+, the new streaming platform that just launched in November, already counts 14% of people in the U.S. as subscribers according to a new Fortune|SurveyMonkey poll. Apple+, which launched at the same time, has about half that number (six percent).
But relatively few people who don’t already subscribe to the newest streaming platforms say they are likely to do so anytime soon. Just 17% of non-subscribers say they’re likely to get Disney+ in the next month; even fewer (12%) of those who don’t currently subscribe to Apple+ expect to subscribe in the next month.
Early results show a fair amount of overlap between streaming platforms' customers:
- 20% of Netflix users say they already subscribe to Disney+ and nine percent say they already subscribe to Apple+
- 28% of Hulu users say they already subscribe to Disney+ and 12% say they already subscribe to Apple+
- 33% of HBO Now users say they already subscribe to Disney+ and 21% say they already subscribe to Apple+
