FAQs
Is there a Paramount Plus free trial?
Yes, Paramount offers new customers a 1-week free trial when they first sign up, letting you test the service and suss out if its library has the entertainment for you before you make a payment. Occasionally, we've also seen Paramount Plus coupon codes for extended free trials. To make the most of the free trial offer, simply sign up, choose your ideal plan and provide payment options. If you aren't impressed with the service during your trial period, just cancel before the week is up and you won't pay a thing. If you want to stay with the service, once the 1-week trial ends, your chosen plan will begin from day 8 (when you'll be charged your first payment).
How much is Paramount Plus?
Paramount Plus offers two types of plan: Essential, which costs $7.99 a month (or $59.99 a year), and Paramount with Showtime, which costs $12.99 a month (or $119.99 a year). Essential includes access to more than 40,000 movies and episodes of TV shows (which includes some shows in the SHOWTIME series) and lets you stream on up to 3 devices at once. You'll also get to view live sports including the NFL on CBS, NWSL and UEFA Champions League matches. However, Essential is supported by ads, and does not include CBS Live. Paying for Paramount with Showtime gets rid of ads on streamed content (with ads remaining on live broadcasts). It also gives you extra features such as the option to download content to your devices and access to the full SHOWTIME library.
How many devices can I use Paramount Plus on?
Paramount Plus is supported on a wide range of devices including Apple and Android mobiles & tablets, Windows and Mac PCs and laptops, and a range of smart TVs and streaming devices (such as Amazon Firestick). Both Essential and Paramount with Showtime plans support use on up to 3 devices at any one time, letting your household stream their favorite shows and movies on just one plan.
How do I cancel Paramount Plus?
Cancelling your Paramount Plus plan is done slightly differently depending on which device you're using. You can find detailed guides on how to cancel your plan on the Paramount website, where you can view instructions for cancellations using apps for mobile, tablet, smart TV and streaming sticks, or through your web browser.
Hints and Tips
Make the most of Paramount promotions: Joining Paramount Plus when they're running a promotion is one of the best ways to drive down your monthly costs. Although they don't run year-round, the service's limited-time offers can drive prices down by as much as 25% off for annual plans. We've even seen new customers offered their first 3 months for $1 per month as for the service's first anniversary.
Choose Essential for the lowest price: Essential is the service's cheapest plan at $7.99 per month, so if you don't mind ads, you can save almost half the price of the Paramount with Showtime tier by option for this tier instead.
Opt for annual plans: If you can afford slightly more upfront, you can save in the long run by choosing an annual instead of a monthly plan. Paramount's cheapest tier, Essential, works out at close to $5 per month when you buy annually (which is a saving of $2.99 every month). Meanwhile, Paramount with Showtime costs $119.99 a year, which drives the price down to nearly $10 per month (a saving of $2.99 each month).

How we source coupon codes
The coupons you’ll find on Tom’s Guide have been sourced by our dedicated coupons team, who use the web, our relationships with retailers, & our affiliate networks to find the latest codes. The offers on each coupon page are updated every few days to ensure we feature the freshest ways to save, and our commercial team (based in London) also sources exclusive codes and sales info directly from some of the biggest retailers around.
How we test coupon codes
All the coupon codes we list on our pages have been tested by our deals & offers teams to check they work as intended before they’ve been uploaded. You’ll find a wide range of coupons on Tom’s Guide, including free shipping offers, student discounts, and savings on various kinds of products.
To ensure that all listed codes are available to use, we don’t include any one-time use or user-specific coupons. We also provide as much information as we can to keep things as clear as possible - any expiry dates or terms & conditions will be listed alongside the code. Look for the ‘Terms & Conditions’ text - you’ll be able to click this to expand this section for more details.
What to do if a coupon code doesn’t work
We take care to only list tried & tested coupons on our pages, so all codes should be active and confer the listed discount or deal. However, although we keep up to date with expiry dates and any terms & conditions, sometimes retailers change these before we can update our pages.
Should a coupon fail to work as expected, check you meet any listed requirements. These can include minimum spends, multibuy offers, or product-specific promotions (i.e. 10% off selected tablets). You can view all associated requirements by clicking “View terms and conditions” below your code.
If this does not solve your issue, you can contact our customer service team by emailing coupons.tomsguide@futurenet.com. Make sure to let us know which coupon you were trying to use and which page this was listed on, and we’ll be in touch to help as soon as possible.
How we make money
Tom’s Guide makes money from coupons through a commission-based model. We have agreements in place with each retailer on our site - for every purchase made using one of our coupons or deals, we earn a small percentage of the order total back in commission.
Thanks to this model, we can save our customers money without charging them a thing. You won’t pay a penny to get the discounts listed on our pages, so whichever code or deal you choose, you’ll get exactly what it says on the tin.
