With Apple TV+ and other streaming services increasing their prices this year, there’s some rare good news from Paramount. For a limited period, you can get one of two annual plans for half price …
Engadget has the details.
A year of the Paramount+ Essential plan, which is ad-supported, will cost $30 compared to the usual $60. Paramount+ Premium, which is ad-free except for live tv programming, will cost $60 for a year instead of $120. This is a substantial deal that both new and returning subscribers can take advantage of; it’s not uncommon for this type of serious discount to only be offered to a first-timer. Anyone who signs up for a year-long subscription to Paramount+ from now through September 18 will be able to get this pricing. The only real caveat with this deal is that you have to pay for the full year in advance; month-to-month subscriptions will still cost the usual rate.
Star Trek fans may be especially interested as it gives you access to both past and present series, including Strange New Worlds and Lower Decks.
The plan does revert to standard pricing at the end of your first year, so you may want to create a calendar alert to cancel a few days beforehand.
