Showtime and Paramount+ set bundled price at $11.99

Posted by Elias Saba on — 2 Comments

Showtime and Paramount+, both of which are owned by parent company ViacomCBS, have announced their bundled pricing to be $11.99 per month. That saves you $3.99 per month, compared to subscribing to each service individually. The $11.99 bundled price includes the ad-supported version of Paramount+ and does not gave access to your local live CBS channel. For the ad-free version of Paramount+ with access to CBS, you’ll have to pay $14.99 for the bundle. To save a bit more, you can pay $119.99 annually for the cheaper bundle, which saves you $23.89 a year over paying $11.99 monthly, or pay $149.99 annually for the better bundle, which saves you $29.89 a year compared to paying $14.99 monthly. Showtime and Paramount+ first introduced their bundled plan a month ago at an introductory price but did not reveal the true ongoing price until now.

Get these deals on HBO Max, Showtime, and Plex Pass subscriptions before they expire

Posted by Elias Saba on — 7 Comments

There are currently a few notable deals on streaming services available. The ad-free plan for HBO Max is on sale for $7.49/month for the first 6 months. That’s 50% off the regular price of $14.99. This offer is likely an attempt to keep all the Prime Video Channel customers subscribed, since they just lost service earlier this week. The deal is for new or returning subscribers, but cannot be used by existing subscribers, and it ends Sept. 26. If you’re a Prime member, you can get 2 months of Showtime for $0.99/month through Prime Video Channels. That’s 90% off the regular price of $10.99/month. That offer ends on Sept. 19. Alternatively, you can subscribe through Showtime directly to get 6 months for $4.99/month when you use promocode MMANUTS when you sign up. Lastly, Plex is offering 20% off a Lifetime Plex Pass when you use promocode PLEXLIKEAPRO. That brings the one-time cost down from $119.99 to $95.99. This deal ends tonight at midnight.

Showtime is now also available for $0.99/month for 2 months — Joining 12 other channel subscription deals

Posted by Elias Saba on — 1 Comment

Prime members can now get Showtime for $0.99/month for 2 months as part of Amazon’s Prime Day early bird deals. Amazon put a dozen Prime Video Channel subscriptions on sale last week for the same $0.99/month, but Showtime was not included at the time. Epix was probably the best deal out of the original 12 channels, but with Showtime normally costing $10.99/month, it’s now easily the one to pick if you’re looking to unlock a bunch of content for very little money. Remember, Prime Video Channel subscriptions are easy to cancel online in a few clicks and canceling will not cut off access until your next renewal date. So, you can subscribe for $0.99 and cancel immediately to get 1 full month of access, or set a reminder to cancel in just over 1 month to get 2 full months of access for $1.98. All channels available for $0.99/month for 2 months are: Showtime, Epix, PBS Masterpiece, PBS Documentaries, Urban Movie Channel, UP Faith & Family, Lifetime Movie Club, Pantaya, Sundance Now, Motortrend, History Channel Vault, A&E Crime Central, and Movie Sphere

UPDATE: Starz is now also available for $0.99/mont for 2 months. It normally costs $8.99/month.

Showtime standalone service launching on Apple devices in July

Posted by Elias Saba on — 5 Comments

showtime-logo-header
In a move mirroring HBO Now, Showtime will be launching a new standalone subscription service next month. The new service, simply named Showtime, will undercut HBO by $4 and cost $10.99 per month. Unlike the current Showtime Anytime app, the new service will not require a subscription or cable service. The service will initially be available on Apple devices and online only. No word yet on when Apple’s exclusivity will end or when the service will be available on Fire TV devices. Showtime being available on the Fire TV at launch indicates the company has a good relationship with Amazon, so I’d expect the new service to be available on the Fire TV and Fire TV Stick shortly after Apple’s exclusivity deal ends.

HBO and Showtime apps on Fire TV devices now work for Comcast Xfinity customers

Posted by Elias Saba on — 4 Comments

comcast-van-header
When HBO Go arrived on the Fire TV last december, the celebration for Comcast customers was short lived when they quickly learned that Comcast was not included in the approved list of cable service providers that granted access to the app. Amazon immediatly began negotiating with Comcast to allow Fire TV customers access, and now those talks have paid off. Comcast Xfinity customers who pay for HBO or Showtime can now activate the HBO Go or Showtime Anywhere apps on the Fire TV and Fire TV Stick. With HBO Now, the stand-alone service that doesn’t require a cable subscription, just around the corner, it feels like this gesture from Comcast comes too little too late.
