SAVE $30: Paramount+ has a price hike going into effect on Jan. 15. This is your last chance to sign up for a Paramount+ Essential annual plan for just $59.99 before it jumps to $89.99.
$59.99/year (save $30 before the price hike)
$119.99/year (save $20 before price hike)
Paramount+ is ringing in 2026 with a good old fashioned price hike. Come Jan. 15, the prices of both the Essential monthly plan (with ads) and the Premium monthly plan (no ads) will increase by a dollar. The annual plans, on the other hand, will see a $30 and $20 increase, respectively. My advice is to lock in an annual plan now before the price hike hits.
The Paramount+ Essential annual plan is just $59.99, which breaks down to a wildly low $4.99 per month. Once the price hike hits on Jan. 15, that price will jump to $89.99. Compared to the monthly plan, the current Essential annual subscription saves users $35.98 per year, or an impressive 38% (the biggest annual savings of any streamer). The new plan price will only save subscribers $17.89 per year — less than half of the savings under the current plan. If you’re looking to save on streaming this year, I highly recommend locking in the Essential annual plan ASAP.
The Premium annual plan won’t see quite as big of a price hike, but it’s still worth it to lock in a year of streaming before Jan. 15. Currently, a Premium yearly plan costs $119.99 per year, but it will jump to $139.99 next week. Subscribers of the current annual plan will ultimately save $35.89 per year compared to the monthly plan. The new plan price will only save subscribers $27.89.
Mashable Deals
Is it worth subscribing to Paramount+ for a whole year? I think so, particularly if you’re an NFL fan. Paramount+ will give you access to several playoff games coming up, as well as AFC games during the regular season. Not to mention, it’s where you can watch Landman, Dexter Resurrection, every season of Survivor and Big Brother, Nickelodeon shows (new and old), Paramount Pictures films straight from the theater, and so much more.
