Netflix's subscription is the most expensive Over the past few years, there have been various streaming platforms as people are watching more content on their smartphones, PCs, smart TVs etc. In the past six months, the demand for OTT content has increased due to the Covid-19 pandemic as theatres are closed and customers have resorted to watching movies, series at home. However, not everyone can buy or afford to splurge money on multiple subscriptions. On the other hand, few people want to try a subscription for a while to access whether it is worth the money they are paying for it. If you are one of the either, here’s a guide to how to get free trials or free content (if available) on the following streaming services.
Netflix

This option is only available for Android smartphones, laptops, and desktops only. You can’t access this on iOS devices (iPhones and iPads).
