The best streaming deals right now: Hulu, Disney+, Paramount+, and more
Ahead of Amazon's Big Spring Sale, streaming services slash prices up to 79% for limited-time promos.
ZDNET's managing editor Alison DeNisco Rayome has identified significant price cuts on popular streaming services and devices, timed just before Amazon's Big Spring Sale kicks off next week. The standout software deal bundles Disney+ and Hulu's ad-supported tiers for just $4.99 per month for the first three months, a 62% savings that provides access to new releases like 'Zootopia 2'. For Paramount+ fans, the service is offering its ad-free Premium plan (or ad-supported Essential plan) for a mere $2.99 per month for two months, representing a massive 79% discount off the standard $13.99 monthly rate. Both offers are for new and eligible returning subscribers and require cancellation before the promo period ends to avoid auto-renewal at full price.
On the hardware side, streaming devices are also seeing deep discounts. The Roku Streaming Stick HD is available for $18, saving users $12, while the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Plus is marked down to $25, a $25 savings. These deals make it an opportune time for consumers who have recently cut the cord or are simply looking to expand their entertainment options without committing to long-term, full-price subscriptions. The article emphasizes that these are limited-time offers, with the Disney+/Hulu bundle ending on Tuesday, March 24, urging readers to act quickly to secure the lowest prices seen so far this year.
- Disney+ and Hulu bundle for $5/month for 3 months, a 62% savings off the standard $12.99 monthly rate.
- Paramount+ Premium or Essential plan for $3/month for 2 months, marking a 79% discount from the usual $13.99.
- Hardware deals include the Roku Streaming Stick HD for $18 ($12 off) and Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Plus for $25 ($25 off).
