Believe it or not, some of the best things in life are still free — including streaming services, if but for a fleeting moment (like a few days — or even weeks).
Some of the biggest players — like Netflix and Disney+ — don’t offer any free trials, but we’ve rounded up some of the best on-demand and live TV streaming services that will give you a taste for nada.
On-demand streaming services with free trials
There are a ton of on-demand streaming service free trials to choose from, so we wouldn’t blame you for not knowing which streaming services to try first.
We highly recommend trying out Paramount+ With SHOWTIME, which is free for seven days and offers classic shows like “Frasier” and “Beavis and Butthead,” and Hulu, which is free for 30 days for top-notch original series like “The Bear.”
