Key Takeaways

• Discovery Plus has a jaw-dropping 70,000+ episodes of real-life TV available for users with ad-supported and ad-free subscription tiers.
• Discovery Plus offers a free 7-day trial to test the waters. Once the trial ends, there will be an automatic renewal of the service.

Discovery Plus: Plans, Pricing, and Content

There are two subscription plans to choose from, Discovery+ and Discovery+ (Ad-Free). Both plans offer access to the full library of content and all the features Discovery Plus offers. The only difference between the two plans is the price and whether or not you will experience ads while streaming.

The Discovery+ plan starts at $5.99 per month and will grant you full access to Discovery Plus' content and features, but with ads included. The discovery+ (Ad-Free) plan starts at $9.99 per month and is the same thing as the less expensive plan, just with no ads. You can choose either plan to test during your free trial period.

How to Take Advantage of the 7-Day Free Trial

• Visit the Discovery Plus website or download the discovery+ app from your device's app store.
• Click on the "Start Free Trial" button prominently displayed on the homepage or within the app.
• Create an account by providing your email address and creating a password.
• Enter your payment information. (This step is necessary to activate the free trial.)
• Select your preferred subscription plan.
• Enjoy your streaming!

Using the Discovery Plus Free Trial

During your free trial period, you can enjoy unlimited access to everything that Discovery Plus has to offer without any additional charges or hidden fees.

Since you can try either plan during your trial (the plan with ads or the ad-free plan) you may want to test the plan that will help you decide if you want to pay more for the ad-free plan once the trial period is up, or if you're someone who can live with ads to save some money and subscribe to the less expensive plan.

Importance of Cancelling the Discovery Plus free trial on Time

If you do not want to be charged at the end of the trial period, it is important to cancel your subscription before the 7-day trial expires.

To do this, navigate to your account settings on the Discovery Plus website or app and find the cancellation option. After you follow the prompts to confirm the cancellation, you will receive a confirmation email once the cancellation is deemed successful. If you do not cancel before your 7-day trial period expires, a monthly subscription will automatically begin, and you will be automatically charged to the payment method you used to sign up with.
