Here are all the up-to-date details on whether Netflix does free trials and your alternative options.
Netflixhas hiked prices, introduced new plans, and cracked down on password-sharing recently. With that, and the price of just about everything else going up, we’re eager to take advantage of deals or discounts.
With stacked competition from other platforms and slowing growth, an introductory offer for new sign-ups sounds like a great idea. But is there a way to accessnew moviesandTV shows streaming this monthwithout paying upfront?
Here’s how the Netflix free trial policy has changed, and what you’ll need instead.
Does Netflix do a free trial?
Netflix does not offer free trials of any kind.
The general philosophy is that if you’re not already a Netflix subscriber by this point, you’ll never be. Without confidence that trials will make Netflix more money due to people staying subscribed after it runs out, it has little use for the company.
Companies cannot grow forever, so there’s thinking that Netflix has reached as large of a base as it currently can. The focus then becomes retaining customers and raising prices to increase profit instead of putting all its energy into enticing new subscribers.
If you end up subscribing anyway, there’s plenty to get through on the service; that includesWednesday season 2, thebest horror movies on Netflix, andnew Netflix documentaries.
