Streaming sticks are a smaller, simpler alternative to set-top box streamers. But which streaming stick reigns supreme? We pit the Roku Streaming Stick+ against Amazon's Fire TV Stick 4K to help you decide which one will be the best fit in your living room.

When it comes to finding what to watch, where to watch it, and how much (if anything) it will cost you, the Roku devices win. They can search through text or voice, whether you use the remote or the mobile app, across a vast channel library.

Amazon forces you to use voice search, with no text-based option available. That said, with Alexa available right on the remote, it's pretty easy to use. Consistent updates have made Fire TV a serious contender here, with Amazon bragging that it has the "broadest cross-provider search of any streaming media player." Amazon's voice assistant Alexa also now allows users to say things like "rewind 20 seconds" for more attuned searching, and the system will also show you where the video you want can be found.
