Netflix is considered the leader in the streaming wars, sporting 269.9 million paid subscribers globally as of the first quarter of 2024. With its excellent catalogue of original series like "Stranger Things," "Bridgerton" and "Wednesday," along with crowd-pleasing films like "Nimona," "Damsel" and "Hit Man," it's convenient to see how Netflix became the industry leader it is currently.
However, Netflix doesn't offer many deals or discounts. The streamer has chosen other methods of increasing subscriber numbers, like unveiling a lower-cost ad-supported plan and cracking down on password sharing.
Does Netflix provide a free trial?
Netflix does not offer a free trial, as the company stopped all free trials in the United States (US) back in 2020 and is not anticipated to bring promotional trial periods back any time soon. That result you'll have to be clever about trying the service out.
T-Mobile’s 'Streaming on Us' Netflix freebie.
T-Mobile’s “Netflix on Us” freebie is still available, while it went through some improvements previously this year. Earlier, T-Mobile users on more expensive mobile plans like Magenta Max were able to get ad-free Netflix Standard plans.

It's free Netflix, which is nothing, and being able to stream new seasons of "Cobra Kai," "Emily in Paris" and "Bridgerton" for the low cost of nothing at all is still pretty attractive for those searching to save on streaming. Moreover, you receive unlimited access to a selection of video games on the service.
Verizon’s Netflix + Max (with ads) bundle
Verizon provides a $10 monthly subscription bundle that involves the ad-supported tiers of HBO Max and Netflix through its myPlan service. However, this might not technically be “free,” the cost of an ad-supported Max subscription on its own is $9.99 per month as subscribers are set to receive Netflix at no extra cost with the purchase of a Max subscription through Verizon.
Comcast 'StreamSaver' bundle
Earlier in May, Comcast unveiled a new “StreamSaver” package that includes Netflix, Peacock and Apple TV Plus for a “vastly reduced price in the market today.” The bundle is exclusively offered now to Comcast broadband, TV and mobile customers.
You get 150 Mbps internet for one year with Peacock Premium with ads, Apple TV+ and Netflix Standard with ads for $45 monthly.
