From carrier promos to straight discounts, there are plenty of ways to save on your monthly subscription bills.
So far, 2025 has been a great year for watching new, must-see TV shows and movies on subscription services. But if you, like many of us, have more concurrent subscriptions than you care to admit, you’ll agree that keeping up with the latest content every month can get expensive. While streaming services may not cost as much as most tech gadgets, the cumulative monthly fees can add up quickly.
If you’re trying to cut down on your expenses, you may be able to do so while holding onto your subscriptions. Attempting to cancel a service is a good way to see if the provider offers a cheaper monthly rate to stay. Several services also run promotions at different times of the year, available to both new and returning subscribers. Below, we’ve curated some of the best deals currently available so you can enjoy streaming your favorite shows and movies for less.
Most streaming services offer free trials, typically ranging from a week to a month, whether you sign up for an annual membership or a monthly subscription. Credit card information is usually required upfront, and you’ll be charged once the trial ends, so mark your calendar if you don’t want to be charged automatically.
Some streaming platforms also provide student discounts, including Hulu, Paramount Plus, YouTube TV, and Amazon Prime. You must prove student eligibility through a sign-up form, typically requiring enrollment in an accredited Title IV college or university.
