If you’ve been surprised by how much you spend on streaming services lately, you’re not alone. Companies like Netflix, Disney, and Max have been consistently raising prices, making many wonder if streaming is still worth it. At Engadget, we believe it can be—as long as you’re smart about how you spend your money. That’s where streaming deals come in.
While discounts on services like Peacock and Paramount+ aren’t as common as, say, an AirPods sale, they do exist. Whether you’re looking to save money or just want to maximize your streaming budget, we’ve rounded up the best deals available right now, along with tips on bundling and what to consider before subscribing to yet another service.
### Best Streaming Deals
Genuine streaming discounts can be hard to find. They typically appear during Black Friday sales, though occasionally they pop up throughout the year. Most deals apply to ad-supported tiers, but occasionally you’ll find a rare discount on an ad-free plan.
If you can wait for a deal before subscribing, we recommend it. You’ll save money upfront and have the flexibility to cancel before the price increases. Maybe you’ll love the service enough to keep it at full price—that’s the best-case scenario. But if not, most platforms make it easy to cancel anytime.
