SAVE UP TO $60: Through Sept. 18, Paramount+ annual plans are half price for your first year. New and returning subscribers can sign up for the Paramount+ Essential plan for just $29.99 (reg. $59.99) or the Paramount+ Premium plan for $59.99 (reg. $119.99). That's 50% off whichever plan you choose.

While every other streaming service seems to be raising its prices, Paramount+ is lowering theirs — at least for the next two weeks.

Through Sept. 18, new and returning subscribers can sign up for a Paramount+ annual plan for half price. That brings the Paramount+ Essential plan down to just $29.99 for your first year (reg. $59.99) and the Paramount+ Premium plan down to just $59.99 for your first year (reg. $119.99). Whichever option you choose, you'll save 50%. And for what it's worth, that breaks down to just $2.50 or $5 per month.

We recommend going with the Premium tier, as you'll get a whole lot more bang for your buck. Plus, it's currently the same price as the Essential tier is on a normal day. The Premium tier includes ad-free viewing; access to the entire Showtime library; the ability to stream CBS live and download movies and shows for offline viewing; and 4K, UHD, Dolby Vision, and HDR10 quality. You'll be able to stream in-market NFL Sunday afternoon games live on the app, as well as new episodes of Big Brother and FBI as they air in real time.

Paramount+ Premium is also where you can watch shows like Dexter: Resurrection, Yellowjackets, RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars, Criminal Minds Evolution, and South Park, as well as popular movies like Smile 2, Gladiator II, and Love Me.

Just remember that the annual cost will jump back up to full price (either $59.99 or $119.99) after your first year. As long as you cancel ahead of that deadline, you'll avoid automatic renewal charges.

Whether you're hoping to diversify your streaming lineup, watch as many NFL games as you can without spending a fortune, or just lock in a really great price, head to Paramount+ before Sept. 18 to get the deal.
