If you are considering Paramount Plus as your streaming service, you might want to know more about its latest subscription plans. Paramount Plan has two streaming subscription tiers: an ad-supported plan and the commercial-free plan. Subscribing to the ad-supported tier will give you a cheaper monthly cost but with ad interruptions, while the commercial-free plan will give you access to all content without ads but at a higher price.
Now, Paramount Plus will be introducing a new tier in its subscription plans for its users. Starting on June 7, 2021, Paramount Plus is moving the ad-supported tier and convert it to the new Essential subscription plan. The difference is the $1 slash off the monthly price.
Paramount Plus Essential $5 Price Tier Ad-Supported Subscription Plan
Currently, if you subscribe to the limited commercial or ad-supported plan, you will pay $5.99 per month. That’s the same price point users used to enjoy with CBS All Access the former name of Paramount+. It will give you access to all titles on Paramount Plus, including local and national news coverage and sports. However, there will be ad interruptions along the way.
Subscribing to the ad-free plan will take away all the ads, so you can continue streaming on Paramount Plus without any interruption. Still, the monthly fee is at a higher cost of $9.99 per month.
On June 7, the $5.99 plan will cost less and get converted to the $4.99 Essential plan of Paramount Plus. It will still have ad support similar to the previous $6 tier. The only difference is that the new plan will have missing contents. If you subscribe to the new discounted plan, you will miss out watching your favorite shows and news coverage from CBS live as well as several sports live TV content. Users will not be able to download titles for offline viewing, unlike on the premium commercial-free plan.
