Starting tomorrow, August 20th, Paramount Plus’ latest price hike will go into effect, meaning today is your last day to subscribe at the current rate before prices increase on several plans. Right now, new customers can still lock in a subscription to Paramount Plus Essential for $5.99 a month before the price jumps to $7.99. What’s more, new and returning subscribers can still get a month of Paramount Plus Essential for free with promo code OGGMPZR3YBW.
Paramount Plus with Showtime will also increase $1 to $12.99 a month, but if you subscribe today, you can at least save until the next billing cycle, when the new price will go into effect. The same holds true for those on the legacy Limited Commercial plan, which is increasing to $7.99 a month. That said, new and returning subscribers can still get a month of Paramount Plus with Showtime for free using coupon code OGGMPZR3YBW, which effectively means you’ll be paying $12.99 for the first two months.
If you prefer a cheaper plan, Paramount Plus Essential is a relatively good value. The ad-supported plan lacks Showtime and doesn’t allow you to download content to your mobile device, but it provides access to the same library. For about half the price of Paramount Plus with Showtime, you can enjoy shows like Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Star Trek: Picard as well as the entire Yellowstone catalog and sketch comedies like Chappelle’s Show. The service also offers hundreds of movies, from Top Gun: Maverick to Bob Marley: One Love.
And, as if all that weren’t enough, the service also includes 24/7 live news with CBS News, NFL on CBS, and UEFA Champions League. That’s not bad for just $5.99 a month.
