Lots of streaming services are offering free trials, sign up now - Android

Streaming services have grown in popularity over the past few years, and there are now more options than there ever has been before. Back in the day, every single one of them offered a free trial to get you to use the service for a set length of time in hopes that you'd sign up after, but that seems to have slowly become less of a norm. Odds are that you are signed up for at least one of them, but thanks to some new offers which have popped up, there are a number of new opportunities to try out new streaming services, and they won't cost you a cent.

Some streaming services are still offering free trials, and others like Netflix are now offering a longer free trial.

All of these options can be accessed via your phone or PC, and most of them you can easily sign into on a streaming device like a Fire TV Stick, Roku, and more. If you don't have a dedicated streaming media player at home, now's a great time to invest in one of those as well.

Now, let's get into it and take a look at all the best options that are offering free trials for you.

Disney+: Trial unavailable

Many people waited a very long time for a service like Disney+ to come along and those dreams finally came true at the end of last year. With access to nearly every single piece of content from Disney, Pixar, Marvel, and more there is nearly an unlimited supply of content worth watching here. Disney is also creating its own original content, like The Mandalorian, and the library continues to expand each week.

Unfortunately, Disney+ doesn't offer a free trial at this time, though with the monthly membership cost at just $6.99, you'll easily get your money's worth while trying it out for a month with all the Disney and Marvel content available. You can also bundle it with Hulu and ESPN+ for $12.99 a month, but there is no free trial option for that plan either.

This trial only applies to the HD plans, and it does auto-renew at the end of the promotional period if you don't set it to cancel before then.

Normally, Amazon Music Unlimited HD costs $14.99 per month ($12.99 per month for Prime members), so you're essentially saving $45 with this trial.
