Paramount Plus Free Trial: What You Need to Know

Avatar photo by Shawn Gant | March 25, 2023

Imagine the joy of binge-watching your favorite TV show and enjoying it with your family and friends without having to pay for its streaming service for seven days. That is possible with the Paramount Plus Free Trial which is readily accessible for you anytime.

In case you don’t know, you were actually familiar with Paramount Plus back in the days. It was formerly known as CBS All Access and after some quick rebranding last 2021, it came with plenty of additional content and various promotions as well.ย  A strong contender in this eraโ€™s โ€œstreaming warsโ€ along with Disney+, Netflix, Hulu, one subscription gets you nearly every Paramount Global property there is.

While itโ€™s available in a handful of countries, including Canada, one must take into account that every country has its own unique Paramount Plus library. But donโ€™t fret, thereโ€™s nothing a quick VPN service won’t sort out.ย ย 

In this guide, we are going to give you a quick run-through of the Paramount Plus free trial to enable you enjoy a seven-day binge-watching activity with family and friends free of charge.

What Is in the Paramount Plus Free Trial?

Hereโ€™s what you can expect upon signing up to a free trial offered by Paramount Plus:

Free Trial Planย 

Paramount Plus subscribers are eligible for a seven-day free trial upon signing up for the service. With this free trial, you can view and stream thousands of television series and movie titles from the comfort of your own devices for one week without ads, and without having to pay.

On top of the seven-day free trial, Paramount Plus routinely offers a one-month free trial with a promo code. As a subscriber, you need to be alert as to when this notification pops up to extend your seven-day Paramount Plus free trial to 30 days.

But be aware of limitations. Aside from its unavailability to returning subscribers, switching between plans during the free period will automatically remove oneโ€™s free trial.ย 

Content Libraryย 

The content library of Paramount Plus offers 30,000 episodes, 2,500 movies, 1,000 live sporting events, including a 24-hour news coverage. There are also new versions of our old-time favorites such as Comedy Central, BET, MTV, Nickelodeon and all of the CBS All Access originals which are now under Paramount Plus.

You can check out this intensive list of what shows are hosted on the Paramount Plus streaming service that is bundled with the free trial period.

Other Plans and Offers

This 2023, Paramount Plus offers two subscription plans for all their customers.

The Essential Plan – the cheapest at $4.99 which gets youย  access to all streaming movies and shows except for livestreams on your local CBS affiliate station. One drawback would be ads popping up every now and then during streaming your favorite show. The Premium Plan costs $9.99 a month, including everything all Paramount Plus has to offer without any commercial breaks at all.ย 

How Do You Get Paramount Plus Free Trial in Canada?ย 

We now know that the Paramount Plus is available in Canada, but of limited content. However, if you are planning to really venture and binge-watch movies and shows available in the US, you must connect your VPN to an American server, sign in to your Paramount Plus Account, and then start streaming.

Here’s how you can sign up for the Paramount Plus free trial:

Step 1: Go to Paramount Plus homepage and register.

Step 2:ย  Tap on โ€œTRY IT FREEโ€ and click continue.ย 

Step 3: Choose aย  subscription plan. It could be the cheaper Essential plan, the cheapest Paramount Plus subscription at $5 a month, or the more expensive Premium Plan which runs $9.99 a month. Click on the chosen package and press โ€œSelect Planโ€.ย 

Step 4: You will now be redirected to an account page. Type in all the information needed, such as name, email, and US zip code. Donโ€™t worry because you can always find the US zip codes on Google. Click continue.ย 

Step 5:ย Input your payment details. Payment options include using you Visa, MasterCard or Paypal account. Note that you will be charged after the end of the trial period.

After that, you can now stream your Paramount Plus favorites in Canada free of charge.

Since you provided your payment account, automatic billing will take effect with the subscription rate you chose once the trial period is over.ย  So if you are not so happy with your free trial subscription or simply don’t want to continue, just cancel the subscription by the lastย  day of your free trial period.ย 

Paramount Plus is readily compatible with almost every streaming device there is. This includes Amazon Fire TV, Chromecast, Android Devices, iOs devices, Android TV, Apple Tv, Amazon Firestick, Xbox, Roku, LG TV, Samsung Tv, Vizio Tv, and PlayStation 4.

Logging in is not that complicated. You can just launch the Paramount Plus app on whatever device you are using, enter the email address and password you used upon subscribing, and select Sign In. Other devices may require activation codes which will actually be given to you upon logging in.ย 

If you are having any issues with Paramount Plus free trial, the streaming service has a help page that compiles all basic issues usually faced by subscribers.

What Similar Services Offer Free Trials Like Paramount Plus?

Still finding the right one that really fits your taste? Aside from Paramount Plus, there are also other alternatives for streaming applications that provide trial periods before you subscribe. First, thereโ€™s Hulu at $7 a month with a 30-day free trial that also offers an impressive library of network TV shows such as ABC and Fox Series.

Then thereโ€™s Discovery Plus at $5 a month with a 7-day free trial, a gem for fans of reality TV, cooking programs, true crime, and competition series. And for horror aficionados, Shudder is at $7 a month with a 7-day free trial bringing tons of scary flicks and series.

Are You Subscribing to the Paramount Plus Free Trial?

With the Paramount Plus free trial, you can binge-watch all you want with its rich content library. With its satisfying collection of films, series, documentaries and live news coverage, subscribing to one of its subscription options is totally a great idea.ย
