[iOS] Paramount Plus Subscription for $5.99/Year (iOS App Required)

19670

Seems like there is a pricing error for Paramount+ on the Apple ecosystem.

Need an iOS device to take advantage.

Instructions:

  • Download the Paramount App on iOS
  • Sign up to a Monthly subscription (you are not charged here as there’s a free 7 day trial)
  • Go into your Subcriptions in Apple Settings and select “anual” at $5.99
  • You’re good until 2022

Get it while you can and enjoy 😄

    • worked after a few mins, thanks OP, let's see if they honour now

  • Sick

  • Worked thanks. Deal of the month

  • The content is really giving me some 2010's vibes

  • +2

    When this gets cancelled, I can’t wait for the comments hahahahaha

    • Where's my jerky! it's been 4 weeks

  • Good find, and good instructions… paypal only got hit for the $5.99, and it definitely says "anual".

    Hope they honour it!

      Wow… not a great selection… who in the world would pay $8 per month for this?!?
      For instance I'm a fan of Sci-Fi, and under that genre there's only 13 movies in total. And 4 of those are Transformer movies!

      In Action there's about 50 odd… including the above mentioned Transformers, along with some of the Mission Impossible, all the Batman movies, 3 South Park movies, 3 Lethal Weapons, and others… but again overall selection is light on.

      For $6… yeah ok, I'll have it for a year. But if they want to refund me no biggy to be honest.
      Still a deal worth going for though!

        I’m watching Barbarella. I stand by my purchase.

  • thanks got it…

  • We don't have any Apple devices other than Apple Mac.. Will it work on that?

  • Thanks op

  • Thanks OP

  • Awsome. Thanls OP. Hope Apple or Paramount+ doesnt refund this.

  • Is this apples fault?

  • As I have added this to my iPad will I need to do same on iPhone?
    Or will it be there already?
    I take this don’t work for andriod

    • You just need to download the paramount plus app and login on the iPad, no need to sign up again or pay.

  • been charged twice 5.49AUD and 7.99AUD on paypal WTF

    • Sounds like you didn't follow instructions correctly. If you went the trial (monthly option but no charges up front), and then went into subscriptions (in your Apple phone settings, not paramount app), you should have only been billed once for $5.99.

      • Ok thanks will see if I can cancel one payment

  • My Ipad Air (version 12.5.4) doesnt have the subscription link in the Apple ID profile page. I can see Password & Security, Payments & Delivery, iCloud links in the profile page but not Subscription. Just subscribed to monthly trial but. How do I subscribe Annually or unsubscribe :)

    • +1

      Search for subscriptions in the settings search.

    • Update: never mind, in this Ipad version, subscription is managed through Apps. Just successfully subscribed annually for $5.99 through Parramount+

      • Hi. I have 12.5.4 but I can't download the paramount+ app. Says I need iOS 13. How'd you get paramount+ downloaded?

      • Sorry for the late reply, I just could without any issues. Hope you were able to take advantage of the deal while it was on

  • Thanks OP, worth it alone for Nick and Smithsonian I guess. Couldn’t. Find anything else interesting haha.

  • Time to watch some Twilight Zone ;)

  • awesome find, thanks

  • 👍👍👍

  • Hmm, getting Purchase Failed. Cannot purchase pplus_intl_au_monthly Error: 2

    • sign out, close the app, wait a few mins than open and sign in if needed, should pick up offer purchased through itunes

    • Do you have a valid payment method on your apple account? Someone else had the same problem above

      • +1

        It was this. Saw the message above. All good now. Thanks.

    • In app purchases disabled?

      • it's not in app.

    • +1

      Same.

      Make sure there is a payment method valid on the Apple ID account.

      Also make sure in-app purchases are allowed.

      • This is what I had off. Once on, Boom….thanks Ozbargain :)

  • Awesome 🙏 OP

    Gone, showing up full amount for me

    • +1

      Follow the instructions on the OP

    • just worked for me. try again on a different device?..it'll say 'anual'

      • -1

        Oh, ok, so I have to enter credit card for a year on in the app then go into menu under subscriptions. BUT, I have already agreed to the annual amount when I sign up in the app so they can and no doubt will correct it and charge the full amount

        • ohh i did as OP suggested and chose Monthly…then left hte app, went to app store, then subscriptions

          • @ExtraSalt: Yes I have not done that and as per my comment above are not going to try it, you have already agreed to pay the correct amount in the app. So they can legally correct the amount and sting you for the full amount

            • @Foxxster: technically you haven't paid anything. You are on the 7-day trial so you can actually cancel. When you pay via Appstore subscription it says $5.99 which is the agreed rate the rest of us paid so in that respect, they are legally bound.

  • +3

    Looking at how many clicks this got in under an hour, someone gona lose their job and next 5 jobs 😅😅

  • Thanks OP, works like a charm.

    Unfortunately there's not much of a catalog on the service right now but hopefully it'll get better over the course of the year (assuming they don't cancel our subscriptions!)

  • Niiiice, still working!

  • Is there an iOS emulator for Android or PC that would allow you to do this without an iOS device?

  • Thanks OP, got the email confirmation for $5.99 annual subscription.
    Got it just for Dexter

    Cheers

  • Can you sign up on ios and then use the account on android?

    • +1

      Yes

    • Yep. Watching on my Shield now.

    • Yes, just tried and worked

  • Cheers OP

  • Signed up, but what's good to watch

  • This works out to be like 50cents per month.. Imagine how many more subscribers they would get for reasonable pricing like that.

    • +3

      It doesn't matter, it's not feasible for them at this pricing. The costs for their uplink alone would be far above this let alone management and production costs for content.
      It would be a huge loss maker at this price, but a good way to boost subscriber numbers and many will keep it after the first 12 months at the higher price. It could be a marketing tool for them.

      • I didn't mean at 50cents per month.
        But when all other providers are over $10-12 a month, they are coming in at $8.99 with a shitty initial catalog and not much more.
        Imagine that at say $2.99 or $3.99 a month - would be enough for me to justify dropping another streaming service or 2. When that happens, The other streaming services lose income/contracts while the one service with '' Quality content'' is 1/3 of the price will get 4 to 6 times the subscribers, where do you think the content will end up going?

        • Yeah $3 to $4 per month for the first 6 or 12 months would be a good idea, whilst they build their library.
          I have had a good looking during this trial period and I wouldn't pay a cent for it now after reviewing their catalogue, there really is nothing at all that I would consider watching and the catalogue is tiny.

  • Cheers op

    Considering this deal was posted earlier this morning on markdown addicts instagram site I'd say literally tens of thousands have already taken advantage of it. Going to be an interesting outcome….

    • Link to the free content please?

    • +3

      Where can I watch the A-League for free?

    • +1

      Your methods must save you a lot on petrol and groceries then…

    • Legally?

  • Doesn't work for me, only shows 1 month as an option :(

    • Look closer…it’s the second option on the list

      • Still can't see it. Under "options" it just has "Paramount + (1 month) $8.99" and no other options.
        Ah well, there doesn't appear to be much content on there anyway, but at $6 for a year I would have taken it.

        • +1

          Sign up for the free 7 days. Then go into your subscriptions through the App Store to change.

          • @guerro: Exactly what I've tried. All good, thanks for trying to help anyway.

            • @SimAus007: share a screenshot? I just signed up about 5 minutes ago still seems to be working

    • +1

      It definitely still exists. I just made a new account and did it 5 minutes ago.

      Sign up for a new monthly 7 day trial in the app and then open up the App Store, go to your account (profile button in the top right) and choose subscriptions. The paramount+ sub should be there. Change it to the $5.99 “anual” one :)

  • +2

    To be completely honest there is no way they can compete with Netflix (legendary), Apple (1 year Free if you purchased selected products) and Prime (included in subscription and or 1 year free with the new Optus campaign) without doing anything like this.

    So I will not be surprised if its part of the plan all along. For me there is no way on earth I click that subscribe button for 7 days trial when all I wanna do is to see what they have.

    Now the other Streaming service would not Stan a chance.

    • Yeah, I got 12 months Apple for free from my mum's iPad and then another 6 months via PS5.

      Amazon Prime is OK, when they do put out original shows/movies their good quality like Apple.

      Netflix is the king, but there's alot of junk.

      • The good thing is that most of the streaming services are monthly, so it's not like to need to keep subscribing each month. Turn them on and off as you please, when they have content you want to watch.

        • +1

          Exactly

          You can literally rotate.

  • FYI this is a rebadging of Ten's failed "All Access" streaming service (Ten is owned by parent company CBS and Paramount), hence why catalogue appears to be a bit patchy and didn't really take off when it was called All Access.

    But they appear to now be adding more original content so hopefully gets better.

    Deal of the month for me.

  • Thanks OP

    Really nice of the poster to credit the source ( markdown addicts Instagram ) ❤️❤️❤️

    • +8

      I agree credit should usually be given….but they never seem to credit ozbargain for all the content taken straight from this page….

    • +2

      Maybe they discovered it themselves?

      • +4

        It was definitely on markdown addicts instagram. No way did they find it themselves. But others pointed correctly, they also steal deals on this site and do not credit us.

  • It looks like there's no way to change the renewal date to annual after the 7-days free trial? An extra 7 days on top would have been nice.

    • +3

      Just ripping the tonsils out of the gift horse's mouth at this point

  • Lol I wander if they will fix it / honour it

    • +3

      Make sure you keep your wandering to under 2 hours if you live in Melbourne

  • Installed on Google Chromecast TV no surround sound with movie?

  • 5.99 for the year why not think OP

  • My payment method is PayPal. Wants to verify and should have sent a code to my phone, but didn't. Clicked on "Didn't receive a code?" and it just keeps loading.

    EDIT: changed payment methods (had to add a new one). All good

  • Not sure if my ipad is too old or if I'm too late to the party but it says "your request cannot be completed" when I try to select 5.99 "anual"

  • Worked… hope they don’t do a switcharoo to $5.99 to monthly…

    Btw should we cancel now and set reminder for later?

  • Sweet, cheers OP!

    Bit of a piss off, I was trying to pirate the new Paw Patrol movie for the kiddo yesterday and it kept getting about 80% done before failing, I decided (profanity) it and took the trial of Paramount only to find it's not on there. I selected the annual option though, so just to play it safe I made a new account on the iPhone with another email I have, but it's a bugger now that all the streamers won't be on the same email anymore.

    Still though, 50 cents a month is pretty aight. Just need an Xbox or PlayStation app since I never use the smart features on the tele and we're cooking.

    Edit: @everyone, there's an Xbox app for P+ but it's not available in Australia…don't bother downloading it, I did, and it just crashes on a webpage. You might be able to get around it with a VPN or something, but I don't care enough for P+ to bother when I have an Android TV anyways, PS4 app might exist too but I can't comment.

  • if you've signed up for access to Paramount's most popular show, Yellowstone - you'll be sorely disappointed. For $5 I won't lose any asleep but still a pain in the arse, thanks for sharing nonetheless.

    • I enjoyed the first season!

  • -3

    I hope apple gets penalized for this by paramount

    • It’ll depend on what happens in the chain of events leading up to anual for 5.99.
