How to get a free trial with Paramount Plus

Ever since its dramatic makeover in 2021, the streaming service formerly known as 10 All Access has come a long way in the last few years. Paramount Plus has made a serious push for Australian streaming dollars with a growing list of popular original series and the latest blockbusters from Paramount's catalogue. This combined with its cheap(er) monthly price and Prime Video integration have made it a popular streaming service in Australia.

It's still a smaller player in the space but big enough to rival the likes of Stan in Australia. Unlike many of its hot-shot competitors, Paramount Plus still offers a free trial to new customers too. So even if you're not sold on signing up for a monthly subscription, you can always test it out for seven days without paying a cent. 

Here's how to get your free trial of Paramount Plus. 

1
Head to the Paramount Plus Australia website or download the app

You can sign up for a free trial of Paramount Plus in a few ways, including via the mobile or smart TV app. But given you'll have to provide information like your email address and card details, we'd consider it a laptop job. If that's your method of choice, head to the Australian Paramount Plus website in your preferred web browser.

Head to www.paramountplus.com/au/

Click "Sign up for Paramount+"

On the Paramount Plus landing page, click the big blue "SIGN UP FOR PARAMOUNT+ button.

On the next page, you'll be asked to enter your full name, email address and password, before you're shown the plans. Save yourself the trouble and compare the Paramount Plus plans further down this page before entering your personal details. 

Head to www.paramountplus.com/au/

Create your account

Once you've decided if one of the plans below is for you, go ahead and create your account by entering your full name, email address and password. To get the free trial, you can't use an email address already associated with Paramount Plus. 

Note: Be sure to uncheck the box under the password field if you don't want Paramount emailing you about new releases and offers. 

Click the big blue 'Agree and Continue' button

Select your plan and payment frequency

Next up, you'll be given the option to choose between the three plans detailed below. Once you've selected your plan, you'll also be asked if you'd like to subscribe to a monthly plan or an annual plan. Every plan has an annual equivalent that saves you some money in the long run. Here's how much each annual plan costs and what it will save you: 

  • Paramount Plus Basic (With Ads): $61.99 per year (Save 26%)
  • Paramount Plus Standard: $97.99 per year (Save 25%)
  • Paramount Plus Premium: $124.99 per year (Save 25%)

The seven-day free trial still applies for annual plans but if you choose to take the discount, you'll be charged the full year upfront once your trial is up. So be mindful about what you choose and when your trial ends.

Enter your payment details (and promo code)

Next, it's time to enter your payment details. Enter your Name, Address, City, State, Postcode, Credit Card Number, Expiry Month/Year and CVV (the three digit code on the back of your card.) 

Before you proceed, now is the time to use a promotional code if you've got one. On the right-hand side of the screen, under 'Trial Period,' there is a dropdown. Click that and enter your code if you've got one. The discount should be displayed immediately after that. 

Note: Before you move forward, take note of the First Payment Date and First Payment amount. If you're planning on taking advantage of the free trial experience, you must cancel your account before the First Payment Date, otherwise, you'll be charged for your first month or year (depending on what you chose earlier.)

If you're happy with that, click 'Agree and Subscribe.'

6
Done! Your free trial has begun

If you've followed these steps, your seven-day free trial of Paramount Plus has begun. Remember to cancel a week from now, before the first payment date, if you don't want to pay anything. Otherwise, enjoy the selection of Survivor, South Park and Star Trek shows on offer. 

Paramount Plus plans

Paramount Plus subscriptions start at $6.99 per month in Australia, if you can handle the advertisements.

Paramount Plus currently offers three plans in Australia: Basic with Ads, Standard and Premium. Starting at $6.99 per month, Paramount Plus Basic with Ads offers one High Definition 1080p stream but you'll have to accept regular ad-breaks as a trade-off for the cheaper price.

Paramount Plus Standard offers two HD 1080p streams for $10.99 per month and Premium offers four 4K/HDR streams for $13.99 per month. Both Standard and Premium are totally ad-free. For the sake of comparison, the same Premium arrangement on Netflix would cost you $25.99 per month. 

Paramount Plus plans are all no-contract and can be sampled with the seven-day free trial.
