Netflix drops free 30-day offer - 15 free trials to try instead
Netflix was one of the first streaming services to go mainstream — and since then, the landscape for online movies and TV has changed drastically. Now, there are so many streaming networks that we can barely list them all.
It’s not just the amount of services that’s changed, either. The oldest services like Netflix and Hulu have jumped up in price compared to the rates of yesteryear. Tap or click here to compare the subscription costs of each streaming service.
And now, Netflix is finally getting rid of something it’s had since it first offered online streaming: free trials. This means new Netflix users won’t have a chance to try out the service before paying a subscription fee. If you’re the kind of streamer that likes to try before you buy, don’t worry — there are still plenty of free trials to pick from. Here are our favorites.
Free trials are no more at Netflix. Here are the services offering free trials right now
Netflix has updated its website with new language stating that it will no longer offer free trials to new subscribers. Instead, the company emphasizes that users can cancel anytime after signing up — with no obligations or cancellation fees.
In other words, they got rid of a free gift and replaced it with nothing. It’s a shame that it happened, but no free offers last forever.
That’s why it’s critical to take advantage of streaming services that do offer free trials before theirs go away forever. The services listed below all offer free trials right now, so don’t wait — test them out before you can’t anymore!
Hulu – 30 days free
Catch your favorite shows, as well as new Hulu content for 30 days free of charge. If you’re sampling its most popular ad-supported plan it will run you $5.99 a month. Hulu also offers an ad-free plan for $11.99 per month, as well as live TV services and optional premium add-ons.
Amazon Prime Video – 30 days free

What I Streamed And Liked: 'Remember the Titans'
We are just at the end of the football season with the Super Bowl just around the corner. That makes it a great time to go back and watch some classic football movies. Many would say this one is the most beloved.
