- Gone are the days of every streaming service giving new users a free month of membership.

With so many streaming services on the market, it’s important to find the right one for your tastes. Free trials can be a huge help with that.
Though these trials used to be a given with every major service, that’s no longer the case. Major players — like Netflix, Disney Plus, ESPN+, HBO Max, and Peacock — have chosen to drop the feature altogether.
Thankfully, there are still several platforms that provide trial periods so you can watch before you subscribe. If you’re hoping to sample some new streaming services without committing to a membership, we’ve got you covered.
Below, we’ve rounded up a few notable streaming apps that currently offer free trials, including a few big services and several smaller, specialized platforms. Trial options range from one week to an entire month, so you can get a good idea of what each app has to offer before you pay. Keep in mind, however, free trials are almost always exclusive to new members.
