The online streaming home for all Paramount and CBS movies, shows and sports is Paramount Plus, one of the first wave of streaming platforms created by movie studios to house their projects.
It's got a big library of classic movies and must-watch modern shows, as well as programming from Nickelodeon, MTV, Comedy Central and more. So it's a good place for streaming fans to get their fix.
Usually, if you sign up, you're looking at paying a monthly fee starting at $7.99 / £4.99, which isn't the most expensive cost for a streaming service. But there are still ways to save on Paramount Plus if you'd like.
If you want to test Paramount Plus without paying that full monthly fare, I'll be able to help you find money-saving methods. I keep on top of all streaming deals and that includes monitoring when Paramount Plus has a discount, free trial or bundle available.
So below, you can find information on Paramount Plus deals that you can utilize right now. I update this guide constantly with new information when it's announced.announced.
Is there a Paramount Plus deal on right now?
At the time of writing, there's no Paramount Plus deal which offers you discounted subscription fees. However that's not always the case.
Paramount Plus is one of the best streaming services for offering deals, as it can be relied on to have promotions several times a year. It usually does this via discount codes, which you enter into the Paramount Plus website when you're signing up for a reduced monthly or annual fee.
Usually, these discount codes are offered when Paramount Plus has something big to promote, like a new massive TV show or sporting event that it's hosting, so stay tuned for something like this later on in the year.
Paramount Plus is available as a channel on certain streaming platforms like Prime Video and Apple TV and these sometimes have separate deals too. However more often than not, they coincide with discounts on the standalone streaming service.
Is there a Paramount Plus free trial right now?
There is a Paramount Plus free trial available right now... in fact, there are multiple!
Paramount Plus itself hosts a 7-day free trial, so if you sign up right now you can enjoy your first week of movies and shows without paying.
However Paramount Plus is also available as a channel on certain streaming platforms like Prime Video and Apple TV, and these offer their own 7-day free trials. You can sign up to them even if you've used the main trial! However these aren't 'free' in the purest sense — you have to be an Amazon Prime subscriber for Prime Video and own an Apple TV device for Apple TV.
With all of these trials, you have to sign up with your card information, and once the seven days is up, you'll automatically roll into a paid subscription. So remember to cancel if you're not keen on what Paramount Plus offers.
Is there a Paramount Plus bundle right now?
At the time of writing, there's no Paramount Plus bundle which gets you access to the streaming service alongside another one for a discounted overall price.
Before someone butts in: "what about the Hulu Bundle —?" then I should flag that one. Hulu subscribers in the US can add the Paramount Plus with Showtime tier to their Hulu account, to stream all the videos from one platform.
However this bundle doesn't actually offer you any discount over subscribing to the services individually. So while I wanted to make sure prospective streamers knew about it, it doesn't quite feel right making a song and dance about it in this article on streaming deals, since it technically isn't one.
