Canadian Streaming Platforms With Free Trials That Make It Easier To Binge The Days Away

You don’t have to pay a dime! In a time where social distancing is being practiced across the country, it may be hard to find entertainment options to occupy your time that won’t hurt your wallet. However, streaming services like Netflix, Disney Plus, and Amazon Prime offer customers free trials before they have to commit to a payment plan.

Ranging from 7 to 30-day trials, these free options rack up a total of 74 days of complimentary streaming. If you’re planning on spending some extra time indoors in the coming weeks, you might want to consider catching up on some of your favourite shows and movies.

Amazon Prime Video

Amazon Prime offers more than just a fully stocked platform of movies and TV shows. Their 30-day free trial also gives you access to their fast delivery service and Amazon Prime Music.
Following the free trial, subscriptions run for $79.99 a month. However, they do offer student discounts for as low as $39.99 a year.

Disney Plus

If you haven’t hopped on the Disney Plus train yet, the newly released streaming service offers a 7-day free trial. The platform holds everything from your favourite Disney classics to Disney Plus original movies and series.
