Earlier this year, Paramount+ followed HBO Max, Netflix, and Peacock by dropping its free trial offer.
The decision came just weeks ahead of UFC’s debut on Paramount+, which saw Paramount+ allowing fans to stream all UFC events without paying a PPV fee. Besides UFC, Paramount+’s sports content includes NFL on CBS, March Madness, and UEFA Champions League matches. You’ll also find hit series like Landman, Tulsa King, and Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, plus blockbuster movies like The Naked Gun and Mission: Impossible.
How Much Does Paramount+ Cost?
The lack of a free trial can be frustrating, but Paramount+ is still one of the most affordable streaming services on the market. Two plans are available: Paramount+ Essential and Paramount+ Premium. Essential costs $8.99 a month or $89.99 for an annual plan, and Premium costs $13.99 a month or $139.99 a year. Premium removes ads on on-demand content, gets you access to all Showtime content, lets you download titles for offline viewing, and lets you stream your local CBS channel.
