Paramount+ drops to £3.99 in half price sale ending this week

Paramount+ has slashed its subscription fees in half in a flash sale that ends this week. The streamer is offering new and returning subscribers its Paramount+ Standard plan for £3.99 per month for three months or £35.49 for a year on an annual plan.

This marks a 50% saving from the usual £7.99 and £70.99 rates. There are also discounts on the Paramount+ Premium plan, now down to £5.49 per month for the first three months or £48.99 on an annual plan.

However, time is running out to secure the discount before it expires on July 10. The deal makes Paramount+ the most affordable streamer compared to rivals like Disney+ (£4.99), Netflix (£5.99), Amazon’s Prime Video (£5.99) and Apple TV+ (£8.99).

After the promotional period, the plan will revert to the regular price until cancelled. Both the Paramount+ Standard and Premium plans provide access to the same movies and TV series, with ad-free streaming and the ability to download titles to watch on-the-go.

However, they do have some major differences, as the Premium plan allows simultaneous streaming on four devices compared to two on Standard. Premium also offers higher quality streaming in 4K UHD, HDR10, Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos on select titles, compared to full HD on Standard.

Paramount+ is home to a wealth of top titles, led by recent hits like Tom Hardy’s MobLand, Taylor Sheridan’s Landman and Ridley Scott epic Gladiator II. On the way this month are Dexter: Resurrection (July 11) and season three of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds (July 17).

They join a packed library including shows like Yellowjackets, Yellowstone, South Park, Tulsa King and Mayor of Kingstown. There’s also a host of blockbuster movies from franchises like Mission: Impossible, Star Trek and Transformers, with recent additions such as Smile 2 and Sonic the Hedgehog 3.

Paramount+ members have left plenty of positive reviews on Trustpilot, where one happy customer said: “I can’t fault the service. Great content, an app that functions and excellent value for money.”

Another said: “A decent alternative to Netflix. They have a better mix of programming for children and adults. The exclusives like Tulsa King, Yellowjackets or Yellowstone are of higher quality than say Disney’s Marvel or Star Wars content and are better critically received.”

This more mixed review said: “Paramount has some great shows but we often have to give up halfway through any episode because it lags and freezes.”

While another five-star review said: “Enjoy the line up of new and old shows on Paramount+. This app is a five-star app. Keep up the good work.”
