It’s finally happened: the stalemate between Amazon and WarnerMedia’s HBO Max has come to an end, and as of today, any Amazon Fire streaming device can officially download the popular app.

So, if you’ve been lying in wait for HBO Max and Amazon to come to an agreement before purchasing one of these streaming devices, now is the perfect time to consider which one is best for you.

Fire TV Stick Lite, $24.99

The most affordable Fire TV streaming device, the Lite version of the Fire TV stick comes with a Lite Alexa remote, which means it does include Alexa voice control but doesn’t have the full range of buttons the more expensive Fire TV streamers enjoy. This is a solid deal and a good choice for anyone using a less expensive TV.

Amazon Fire TV Stick, $39.99

This step-up from the Fire TV Stick Lite also comes with Dolby Atmos Audio and an Alexa Voice remote with full TV control. We also like the more in-depth interface and how well it works with other Amazon Echo speakers.

Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K, $49.99

This is the 4K UHD version of the Fire TV Stick and the best buy for anyone who wants high resolution streaming. The Alexa, voice-controlled remote is also fully featured to control your TV and sound bars, and the upgrade includes Dolby Vision support.

Fire TV Cube, $119.99

Shaped like a Cube rather than a stick, the Fire TV Cube can just about fit in your palm but can be discreetly hidden in any TV set-up. In its second generation, it offers 4K UHD content and is undoubtedly Amazon’s quickest streaming device yet. It also offers YouTube and YouTube TV, unlike the original box. Alexa voice control is built directly into the Cube and lets you easily call up movies, TV shows and videos (though a full featured remote is included as well).

Fire TV Recast, $229

Amazon’s answer to a streaming DVR is a cord cutter’s dream, though you’ll need an HD TV antenna as well as one of the Fire TV streaming devices to use it. A versatile device which offers a refined program guide, you simply connect to WiFi to watch and record up to two different over-the-air TV shows simultaneously–all with no extra fees.
