How to Get a Discount on Paramount+ After the Price Increase
Paramount+ has just gone through its first price increase since 2024, and the change is happening just ahead of UFC 324 coming to the platform. If you’re new to the streaming service or looking to return, you’re probably wondering if there’s a way to save some money on a subscription right now.
Unfortunately, there don’t seem to be any promo codes or coupon offers going on today. That’s not to say there isn’t any way to get a discounted subscription, but the usual special promotions for any of the Paramount+ plans are non-existent right now. What’s more, the long-standing Paramount+ free trial has officially been removed alongside the price increase. With those things in mind, here are the options available right now.
There are currently only two ways to save on a subscription: Signing up as a student or opting for an annual plan.
The best Paramount+ deal available right now is specifically for students. If you can verify that you’ll be enrolled as a student for a year, you will be eligible for a 50% discount on any of the Paramount+ plans. The offer is only valid for the first 12 months of the subscription and the student has to be at least 18 years old to get the discount. Paramount+ uses a website called SheerID to verify that you are indeed enrolled as a student.
Once the 12 months are up, you will be charged the full amount for the subscription regardless of your student status.
Your other option for saving money is to just sign up for an annual subscription plan rather than monthly. You can currently sign up for an annual Paramount+ Premium subscription for $139.99 a year or grab a Paramount+ Essential plan for $89.99 per year. Here’s a quick breakdown of what the savings looks like compared to a monthly plan over that same 12 month period:
As of January 15, Paramount+ is no longer directly offering a free trial to new subscribers. With that being said, you can still get a free trial of the service via a Walmart+ subscription.
Walmart+ has a 30-day free trial option for new subscribers. One of the benefits of this subscription is access to a Paramount+ Essentials plan, so you can test out the service for a full 30 days with this method. Walmart+ also allows you to switch between a Paramount+ and a Peacock Premium subscription every 90 days, so overall it’s one of the best streaming bundles available in 2026.
