Discovery Plus free trial: Stream for a week for free

Andrew Morrisey
By

With such a huge variety of streaming services to chose from, it’s easy to get overwhelmed. There are options focused on prestige TV, or movies, or original series, and just about any other type of TV you can name. But if you love reality TV and shows focused on cooking or home improvement, then the service you might be most interested in is Discovery Plus. The service has had a rocky history recently and last year it raised its prices, but you can still get a free seven-day trial of the service to decide if you want to fork out for a regular subscription.

There is a Discovery Plus free trial, and if things like a Disney Plus free trial and a Peacock TV free trial are of interest to you, it’s worth pouncing on. The Discovery Plus free trial does consist of signing up for the paid service, at which point you’re given seven days of free access to the entire Discovery Plus library of content. You have the full seven days to enjoy all of the Discovery Plus content you like, and you can cancel with no financial commitment within those seven days. If you don’t cancel within those seven days, your credit card will be billed $4.99 per month or $8.99 per month, depending on which Discovery Plus tier you choose at signup.

Both tiers of the subscription (and the free trial) give you access to the same content, so you can watch cooking shows like Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives or Beat Bobby Flay or home improvement shows like Fixer to Fabulous or Homestead Rescue. The offerings are strongest in the reality TV genres, so you’ll find documentaries and series like House Hunters, Naked and Afraid, and Ancient Aliens.

Can you get Discovery Plus for free?

Discovery Plus is available for free in certain situations. One of those is if you’re a Verizon Unlimited customer and you meet the requirements. If this is the case, you can get Discovery Plus for free for twelve months. This essentially is an extended version of the Discovery Plus free trial, which is a solid seven days of access to the Discovery Plus catalog, and which can be accessed from various outside platforms, such as Amazon Prime Video, through the Discovery Plus app on an AppleTV, and can even be accessed through other streaming devices.

Alternatively, you might consider some of the other services with offers, like the Amazon Prime Video free trial, HBO Max free trial, the Showtime free trial, or even the Sling TV free trial. They’re certainly not the same as Discovery Plus, but they offer plenty of content to watch, especially on top of a subscription you already have!

Are there any Discovery Plus deals?

Once your free trial is up, you might be looking out for deals for a cheaper Discovery Plus subscription. Unfortunately Discovery Plus no longer offers its discount for military service members or students, so anyone who wants to watch the content will have to pay full price.

The two options are an ad-supporter tier at $5 per month plus tax, or an ad-free version at $9 per month plus tax. The ad-free tier additionally supports watching offline with mobile downloads.

Is there a YouTube Premium free trial? What you need to know
Youtube video on mobile. Credits: YouTube official.

YouTube Premium doesn't get a lot of hype, but if you're one of millions of people who uses the standard YouTube website and/or app on a daily basis, it might be worth checking out. Launched in 2014 as Music Key (and later renamed to YouTube Red before being rebranded yet again in 2018), YouTube Premium adds a bevy of great features to the Google-owned video platform. A few noteworthy additions that your $14 monthly subscription gets you include YouTube Music, an ad-free viewing experience, offline viewing, background listening, and the ability to download videos. But as a paid service, it's only natural that you might want to try it out first if you're undecided about it. Read on, because we've got all the details about the YouTube Premium free trial right here.
Is there a YouTube Premium free trial?

Google offers a one month YouTube Premium free trial to new customers, so if you're looking to sign up but want some hands-on time with the service before having to fork over any cash, you're in luck. Streaming video platforms can be a little stingy when it comes to free trial offers. For example, there's a similar 30-day Hulu free trial but no Disney Plus free trial. As a result, a one month YouTube Premium free trial is nice to see. Periodically, you could even get lucky and be selected for a two month free trial for a limited time. In any event, once the free trial is over, the service will continue on at the regular price of $14 per month.
