FireTV Stick
, which goes for $39, is the newest contender. It’s based on Amazon’s Fire TV device, and just like its big brother, the Fire TV Stick also comes with a physical remote and apps on the TV screen. The device is heavily optimized for Amazon’s own services, and also offers some casual gaming.

Roku’s streaming stick, which costs $50, does ship with a remote control, and offers pretty much the same functionality as a Roku streaming player. Roku’s streaming devices have been around for years, so you’ll have plenty of apps to choose from, and you will be familiar with the navigation and apps if you’ve ever used a Roku box before.

Chromecast, which retails for $35, sets itself apart from the competition by not including a remote control. That’s because all of the control happens from your smart phone, tablet or Chrome web browser on your computer. This means you’ll never have to navigate through any menus on your TV again. As long as both your phone (or whichever device you chose to control your Chromecast) and your Chromecast itself are on the same Wi-Fi network, the cast button automatically starts showing up in supported apps. Press it, and the next video on Netflix will start showing up on your TV.
