Grab This Paramount+ Cyber Monday Streaming Deal While You Still Can: Showtime Bundle for Just $2.99

Published:Sun, 1 Dec 2024 / Source:https://www.ign.com/articles/paramount-plus-cyber-monday-streaming-deal-2024

Paramount+ has been quietly making its way into the ranks of the best streaming services. I admit, even I underestimated this one at first. Over time, however, the Paramount+ library has grown into one I consider well worth its price, and I signed up before this Cyber Monday deal. Right now, you can try any Paramount+ streaming plan for just $2.99/month for two months. Out of all the Black Friday and Cyber Monday streaming deals we've seen this year, Paramount+ is also one of the only services to offer discounts on its ad-free plan.

If you choose to subscribe, you can watch the first Gladiator movie before catching Ridley Scott's new sequel in theaters (Gladiator II will end up on Paramount+, too). And it's not just about the classics: Paramount+ is home to all-new Paramount releases, including Transformers One and Top Gun: Maverick. It's also one of the better services for live sports streaming.

First 2 Months of Paramount+ Essential OR Paramount+ with Showtime for $2.99/Month

Paramount is offering both of its major streaming plans, Paramount+ Essential and Paramount+ with Showtime, at the same Cyber Monday price: Two months for $2.99 each (about $6 total). Both plans offer the same Paramount+ library of over 40,000 TV episodes and movies, and both come with NFL on CBS and UEFA Champions League Live.

A big difference between these plans is Paramount+ Essential has ads and Paramount+ with Showtime doesn't (except for live TV). Beyond ads, the Paramount+ with Showtime plan is technically a streaming bundle that's pretty clear about what it includes: The Paramount+ streaming library (with all the mentioned benefits) PLUS access to Showtime, which offers the likes of a full Dexter rewatch or new seasons of Yellowjackets. The Showtime plan also includes full access to your local CBS station (the Essential plan limits you to just the sports streams).

Perhaps one of the more important issues of the modern streaming era: Both plans let you stream on up to three devices at the same time.

Which Paramount Streaming Plan Is a Better Deal?

Paramount+ Essential, as the ad-supported streaming plan, typically costs $7.99/month (so around $16 for two months), while Paramount+ with Showtime typically costs $12.99/month (around $26 for two months). With these deals, you're save a whopping $20 with the ad-free plan, compared to $10 in savings with Paramount+ Essential.

There are a couple of reasons to consider the Essential plan even with less savings: If you're anything like me, you might be worried about forgetting to cancel the more expensive subscription before it goes back to regular price. Or, you might just be interested in catching the next couple of months of the NFL season without worrying about all the extras.

Walmart+ Black Friday Deal Includes Paramount+ Membership

Paramount's streaming deal isn't your only way to save on a new subscription this sales season. A 12-month Paramount+ subscription is also included in a Walmart+ membership, which happens to be discounted 50% off as part of Walmart’s early Cyber Monday sale.

More Cyber Monday Streaming Deals

The most popular streaming deal this weekend has definitely been Hulu's: One year (with ads) at less than $1 per month. Most streaming services are offering at least 70% off in discounts, so this year's Cyber Monday sales have something for everyone (unless you wanted Netflix deals: Those never happen).

Is Cyber Monday the Best Time to Sign Up for Streaming Services?

We might see more streaming deals announced throughout the holidays, but this Cyber Monday discount is definitely the best deal you'll get in 2024 for Paramount+. The two-month deal is a great chance to try out a new streaming service and see if the library keeps you around. Otherwise, if you're still shopping around, one of the best streaming deals in general continues to be the new Disney+/Hulu/Max bundle. There are also some fantastic deals available on Kindle Unlimited, Audible, and all things Apple.
