Discounts on streaming platforms fluctuate year-round, yet they peak during Black Friday and Cyber Monday periods. This year has proven challenging for many video services, marked notably by frequent subscription fee increases. Platforms like Disney+ and Max recently raised their rates, underscoring the value of securing bargains when available.
Fortunately, numerous video-on-demand providers are discounted for Cyber Monday. Below are the top offers this season; keep in mind that many apply only to first-time users or those returning after a long absence from paid accounts. Additionally, the majority of these promotions conclude by the close of Cyber Monday, leaving limited time to commit.
Disney+ and Hulu package — $60 annually: The combined Disney+ and ad-supported Hulu service is available at $5 monthly for 12 months, totaling $60, valid until December 1. First-time and qualifying former members may participate, and since the regular rate is $13 per month, this provides over 50% savings off the usual fee.
Apple TV+ — $36 for six months: For Cyber Monday, Apple TV+ delivers half a year of service at $36, equating to $6 monthly during that span. Eligible newcomers and returnees can access titles such as Silo, The Morning Show, and For All Mankind at a reduced cost. A key condition requires direct signup through Apple, avoiding third-party channels, with the offer expiring December 1.
Starz — $12 for 12 months: Commit to a full year in advance to save over $50 on Starz's yearly plan. Alternatively, a flexible monthly choice offers $3 for the initial three months without long-term obligation. Both selections unlock the complete Starz catalog of series and films, featuring download capabilities and commercial-free playback.
Max — $36 for one year: Max's promotion grants 12 months of ad-supported viewing for $36 during Cyber Monday. The standard ad-tier rate is $11 monthly, making this equivalent to $3 per month over the year. Registration is possible on Max's site or as an add-on for existing Prime Video users, ending December 1.
Paramount+ — $6 for two months on Essential or Premium: This offer reduces either Paramount+ level to $6 total for two months, or $3 monthly. The Premium version stands out, given its normal $13 monthly price, and the discount lasts until December 2.
MasterClass — 50% reduction on yearly plans: Cyber Monday slashes most MasterClass annual memberships by half upon full-year payment. The top Premium level, ordinarily $20 monthly, drops to $10 per month for the year, granting entry to all MasterClass materials, downloads, and streaming on up to six devices concurrently.
Audible — $3 for three months plus $20 credit: At just $1 monthly, this deal opens Audible's vast collection of audiobooks, podcasts, and exclusive originals, ranging from unpublished narratives to live events. Limited to 90 days, users must opt out or revert to full pricing afterward, though avid listeners can consume extensively in that timeframe, with the promotion closing December 1.
Plex — $150 lifetime access: Plex enables custom media servers for managing personal digital libraries, akin to a permanent, personalized streaming interface without content removals. It also functions as a standalone service offering films and shows across various categories and decades. Following a recent price adjustment, the lifetime option now aligns closely with prior rates.
FuboTV — first-month savings up to $30: Renowned for live television focused on athletics, FuboTV cuts up to $30 off the initial month for new customers. The highest savings apply to the Elite package, typically $95 monthly, which includes 325 channels like ABC, NBC, CBS, and Fox, plus ESPN Unlimited. A budget-friendly alternative, the News + Sports plan, deducts $10 for beginners.
DirecTV — from $50 monthly for the opening month: DirecTV's main bundles discount up to $45 on the debut month for new signups. Choosing the entry-level Entertainment option costs $50 initially and delivers more than 90 channels, encompassing local affiliates, ESPN, ESPN 2, and Fox Sports 1, with mobile viewing via the DirecTV app.
