Frequently asked questions
Which free trial is the longest right now?
Prime for Young Adults in the USA — six months free for 18–24-year-olds and higher-education students. In the UK the same six-month Prime trial exists for students and 18–24-year-olds. The longest standard trial after that is Amazon Prime's 30 days.
Do I need a credit card for a free trial?
Yes, for almost every trial on this page. Amazon, Spotify, Apple, YouTube, Hulu and Paramount+ all ask for a payment method at sign-up. You are not charged during the trial, but the plan renews automatically unless you cancel — so set a reminder for the day before the trial ends.
Can I get a free trial if I had the service before?
Usually not on the same account. Spotify's offer is only for people who have never tried Premium. YouTube allows another trial only if you left Premium at least six months ago, and only one trial per 12 months. Amazon decides per account and sometimes offers a new trial after 12 months without a membership.
Is there a free trial for Netflix?
No. Netflix states plainly that it does not offer free trials. Peacock also has no free trial, and Disney+ and Max have dropped theirs. The trials on this page are the ones still live.
Does Paramount+ have a free trial in the USA?
Not directly — the direct US trial was removed in January 2026. The 7-day trial still exists in the UK, France, Germany, Italy, Austria, Switzerland and Ireland. In the USA, Prime members can get seven days of Paramount+ through Prime Video Channels.
What is the PlayStation Plus perks offer?
A new benefit launched 6 November 2026 for PS Plus members with PSN accounts in the UK, France and Germany: a 3-month YouTube Premium trial (until 1 November 2027), a 2-month Calm trial (until 13 September 2027), Audible at £0.99 a month for three months (until 4 November 2027), plus discounts on PlayStation Direct and DAZN. Any tier qualifies, including members on a free trial.
What happens if I cancel during a trial?
On most services you keep access until the trial's end date, so you can cancel on day one and still enjoy the full trial. Spotify is an exception: cancelling during a zero-priced trial ends Premium access immediately, so cancel near the end there.
Are the prices after the trial fixed?
No — they change. The prices on this page are the ones shown on each official page on 8 November 2026. Always read the price and renewal date on the sign-up screen before you confirm; that screen is the binding one.
