Discovery Plus is a beacon of good quality factual programming, from science to food to true crime to any other niche topic you can think about. Having said that, it's always nice to try before you buy...
You're in luck because Discovery Plus, alongside Apple TV Plus, offers a free trial to all new members! In a landscape where streamers are shying away from offering these initial free trials, Discovery Plus is still very much in favour of letting people access its content before charging a subscription for the first seven days.
With over 2,500 shows, Discovery Plus is the ultimate reality and lifestyle streaming service for all your needs if you're based in the US or UK. So, even if you watch the platform for the full one-week free trial there is no way you can watch all the content and that's what brings us to the subscription cost after time runs out for free viewing...
At the very affordable price of $5.99 per month, this fiction and non-fiction streamer won't break the bank for customers looking for a more reasonable alternative. And for those who can't stand adverts you can eliminate them all for an extra couple of bucks at the total price of $9.99. For those on the other side of the pond, this translates to £3.99 for basic, standard for £6.99 or you can get a bundle that includes sports content for the chunkier price of £30.99.
To reiterate, whatever plan you go for will include a seven-day free trial once you type in all the payment information - just remember to cancel in time if you don't want to continue! One final note before we continue below, Discovery Plus will very soon be coming to Amazon Prime Video so keep your eyes peeled for that...
What do you get with your Discovery Plus free trial?
You'll get nonstop Discovery network shows, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year. You'll be able to watch shows like 90 Day Fiancé, House Hunters, Chopped, Fixer Upper and more. In addition to all your all Discovery favorites, there also are a number of Discovery Plus original shows to enjoy. They include reboots and spin-offs of some of those old favorites, as well as completely new programming.
You can subscribe to Discovery Plus inside the app, or at DiscoveryPlus.com.
There are a wide range of devices that carry the service. Watch Discovery Plus on Roku, on Apple TV and Android TVs, on iOS (iPads, iPhones and Macs) and also on Android phones and tablets. Discovery Plus is on Fire TV and it's also available on Xbox One and Xbox Series S/X.
How to get an extra Discovery Plus trial
