Believe it or not, some of the best things in life are still free—including streaming services, if but for a fleeting moment (like a few days—or even weeks). Some of the biggest players—like Netflix and Disney+—don’t offer any free trials, but we’ve rounded up some of the best on-demand and live TV streaming services that will give you a taste for nada.

HBO Max
Protip: Some streaming services, like HBO Max, don’t offer free trials outright. However, you can still get a sort-of-free taste of their service by subscribing through a third party like Hulu or Amazon. You’ll also get the added bonus of bundling multiple bills together into one log-in, if you choose to continue your subscription after the trial period is over.

Hulu
MGM Plus
Paramount Plus

STARZ

Time’s up: Unless you want to commit to a monthly subscription, don’t forget to cancel before your trial period is over. Some services will send you a reminder, but all will start charging you the regular monthly rate if you don’t cancel—that’s why they require payment info first.
