How to Save on Streaming Subscriptions
Are you also feeling the weight of streaming monthly fees on your pocket? Well, I was in the same boat until I discovered very simple and practical ways to how to save on streaming subscriptionsAnd today, in this chat between friends, I want to show you all these tips that helped me spend less without giving up my favorite movies and series.
Can you continue watching everything without spending so much?
Yes, it does! Due to With so many platform options and frequent price increases, many people are looking for cheaper or even free alternatives. Just to give you an idea: according to Kantar, more than 401% of Brazilian users have canceled at least one subscription in the last two years.
In other words, we are all in the same challenge — keeping the entertainment, however, without compromising the budget. That's why, I decided to gather here everything I've been testing over the last few months and that really worked for me.
Therefore, if you are tired of paying a lot and want to continue watching everything you love, come with me!
1. Rotate subscriptions between months
This trick is one of the simplest, although is what has helped me the most.
How it works:
- Instead of keeping 4 or 5 streams active, choose 1 or 2 per month.
- Binge-watch the content that interests you most in each of them.
- Cancel or pause others temporarily.
Indeed, you watch everything you want and only pay for one or two services at a time. In other words, is a smart relay.
What's more, most platforms allow you to cancel and return whenever you want, with no commitment.
2. Share plans with friends or family
In order to To reduce costs, splitting the bill is a great option — and it's within the rules of many services, as long as the profiles are in different residences (or, in the case of Netflix, at the same registered address).
Platforms that allow this:
- Prime Video: You can share with up to two people on the same account.
- Star+ and Disney+ Combo: allow multiple profiles and devices.
- HBO Max: ideal for sharing with those who live together.
However Although some platforms have tightened the rules, with a little bit of effort it is possible to maintain the economy legally.
As a result, your monthly payment could be cut in half or even less.
3. Use coupon or cashback apps and websites
There are some people who don't take advantage of this, but undeniably is a real way to save.
Examples:
- Meliuz e Cuponeria: They offer coupons and cashback on platforms such as Globoplay, Telecine and Star+.
- PicPay e RecargaPay: sometimes there are promotions for card payments on the platform itself.
That way, in addition to paying, you also get back part of the money spent.
4. Take advantage of combos and discounted plans
Some operators and companies offer promotional combos which are worth much more than subscribing to the services separately.
Examples of combos:
- Globo + Telecine + Disney+: reduced price for those who sign everything together.
- Internet operators as Claro and Vivo include streaming in their packages.
- Amazon Prime: Includes free shipping, Prime Video, Prime Music, and Prime Gaming.
Since These combos optimize your total cost and are worth it for those who use multiple services at the same time.
Finally, the secret is in comparing!
5. Use free and official platforms
On the other hand, not everything needs to be paid. There are platforms legal and free with quality content.
The best:
- Pluto TV: live channels and movies on demand.
- Vix Cine e TV: light, easy to use and with dubbed catalog.
- YouTube (official channels): has free full movies on licensed channels.
In order to balance your budget, these options are great alternatives to complement or even replace paid streaming services.
6. Cancel before automatic renewal
This is basic care, but it saves!
Why Many people forget to cancel their subscription and end up paying for another month without even using the service. That's why, whenever you sign something temporarily:
- Set a reminder on your phone
- Enable automatic cancellation if possible
- Use a virtual card with a controlled limit
In the meantime, it's worth remembering that you may lose access to the content immediately after canceling — so see what makes the most sense for you.
7. Take advantage of free periods strategically
In summary, you can watch tons of content without paying anything with free trials. Many platforms offer 7, 14, or even 30 days free.
Smart tip:
- Make a list of what you want to watch before you start the test.
- Watch as many titles as possible during the period.
- Cancel before being charged.
