Regular price
$13.99/mo (Paramount+ Premium, most popular plan) — or $8.99/mo for Essential with ads
Discount you can get
50% off for 2–3 months (typically $6.99/mo for Premium instead of $13.99/mo). Some users report being offered a free month or $4.99/mo for 3 months as a secondary offer if they decline the first.
How to unlock this discount
Log in to your Paramount+ account at paramountplus.com (must be billed directly by Paramount+, not through Apple/Amazon/Roku — if so, manage via that platform).
Click your profile icon in the top-right corner and select 'Account'.
Under your subscription plan details, click 'Cancel Subscription' or 'Cancel Plan'.
You will be presented with a survey asking why you want to leave. Select 'Too expensive' or 'Price' as your reason — this is the trigger for the retention offer.
Paramount+ will present a discount offer screen (the 'save' offer). This is typically 50% off for 2–3 months. Review the offer.
Click 'Accept Offer' or 'Keep My Subscription' with the discounted rate to lock in the retention discount. Do NOT click 'Continue to Cancel'.
Insider Tips
Always select 'Too expensive' or 'Cost' as your cancellation reason — this is the most reliable trigger for a price-based retention offer
If the first offer seems weak (e.g., just a free week), decline it and continue one more step in the flow — a better offer often appears on the second screen
Try this on a desktop/laptop browser for the best experience; the mobile app sometimes routes you differently or skips the offer screen
If you're on the Essential plan, consider upgrading to Premium first, then initiating the cancellation flow — the retention discount on the higher-tier plan can bring it below what you were paying for Essential
This trick can often be repeated every 3–4 months once your discounted period ends and you're back at full price
If you don't see a discount offer in the web flow, try calling Paramount+ customer support (1-888-274-
and say you're thinking of canceling due to cost — phone agents often have retention offers available
Time your attempt around the end of a billing cycle for maximum leverage

Pricing confirmed via multiple 2026 sources including DealNews (dealnews.com), GamsGo blog, CableTV.com, and Hollywood Reporter — all confirming $8.99/mo Essential and $13.99/mo Premium as of January 15, 2026. Retention offer details are based on widely reported community experiences from Reddit threads (r/ParamountPlus, r/cordcutters), Slickdeals forum posts, and streaming deal blogs from mid-2025 through early 2026. The 50% off retention offer pattern has been consistently reported but is not officially advertised by Paramount+, hence medium confidence. Specific retention offer amounts may vary by account history and tenure.
