The service works basically the same as those mentioned above with the difference that its monthly subscription cost is $89 Against the $99 of Netflix and TotalMovie, however, in price it does not compete with Clarovideo since the latter has a subscription of only $69, nor with Vudu that does not offer subscriptions, but only rents for 2 nights for $25.

A clear advantage that Klic of Cinepolis if it has in front of its competitors is that it has recently released films available to its subscribers, with which the company of Away Ramírez is taking advantage of the rights that Cinépolis acquires from the films, it is in this way that some titles such as "The Hobbit - An Extraordinary Adventure" Y "Argo".
