Hulu has one of the most generous free trials of any streaming service. New customers who sign up to Hulu’s ad-supported plan without Disney+ can watch free for 30 days, but the sheer volume of commercials on the service can be maddening at times.

We’ll give you easy-to-follow instructions on how to do just that below! We’ll also answer some questions about canceling Hulu, and give you a couple of alternative streamers to try when you’re done with the service.

Everything you need to know about canceling Hulu

How to cancel Hulu

How to cancel Hulu if you subscribe to it as part of the Disney Bundle

If you get Hulu as part of a subscription to the Disney Bundle, you will have to cancel all services at once in order to cancel one. You cannot keep part of the Disney Bundle and cancel just one service within it, unfortunately.

To cancel a Disney Bundle subscription:

Does canceling Hulu lock you out of the streamer immediately?

No, you will still be able to log into your Hulu account and watch until the end of your current billing cycle once you cancel your subscription. After that billing cycle concludes, however, you will be locked out.

Will Hulu save your account settings if you cancel?

Yes, if you decide to resubscribe to Hulu later, your MyDisney account will save your viewing history and profile settings when you cancel a subscription. You also have the choice of pausing your subscription for up to 12 weeks with Hulu, giving you another way to preserve your history on the service if you need a temporary break.

What are the best alternatives available to Hulu?

If you’re seeking a new general entertainment streaming service once you’ve left Hulu behind, you should check out a subscription to Prime Video. This service starts at $9 per month for an ad-supported service, or $14 for ad-free. It has a little bit of everything, from “The Boys” to “Fallout” to “Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power,” and even unscripted shows like “Beast Games.” Prime Video also comes with live sports like “Thursday Night Football” in NFL season, and NBA games come to the streamer in fall 2025.

Prime Video

Prime Video is a subscription video streaming service that includes on-demand access to 10,000+ movies, TV shows, and Prime Originals like “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power,” “Jack Ryan,” “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel,” “The Boys,” and more. Subscribers can also add third-party services like Max, Showtime, STARZ, and dozens more with Prime Video Channels. Prime Video also offers exclusive live access to NFL Thursday Night Football.

Prime Video is included with Amazon Prime for $14.99 per month ($139 per year), or can be purchased on its own for $8.99 per month. A standalone, ad-supported version costs $8.99 per month, while the upgraded Prime Video Ultra tier, costing an extra $4.99 per month or $45.99 per year, adds Dolby Atmos support, ups video quality to 4K UHD, removes ads, and allows for 100 downloads and 5 simultaneous streams. Prime Video offers a 30-day free trial.

Prime Video currently offers over 25,000 movies and TV episodes, many of which are original productions. Live sports coverage includes NFL Thursday Night Football as well as select NBA, WNBA, and NWSL events.


If your streaming budget needs a little bit of a break, but you’re still looking to supplement your lineup with more general entertainment, check out the free ad-supported streamer Pluto TV. You’ll find every genre under the sun on Pluto, from kids to romance to sci-fi, and you won’t have to pay a dime for access. All you need to sign up for Pluto TV is a valid email address and a password.

Pluto TV

Pluto TV is a free streaming service backed by Paramount that offers a traditional cable-like channel surfing experience. The service offers hundreds of free round-the-clock channels, including classics like “Star Trek,” “The Twilight Zone,” and “The Price is Right.”

…

Rather than attempting to carry expensive local broadcast affiliates or high-profile live sports leagues, the lineup leans heavily into curated thematic programming. You will find dedicated channels cycling non-stop episodes of many classic TV shows, alongside niche feeds for anime, true crime, classic sitcoms, and live headline news loops from outlets like CBS News. Alongside the live grid, there is also a hefty on-demand vault filled with older Hollywood catalog films, cult classics, and complete archived series.

Because Pluto TV mirrors linear broadcast television, you cannot pause or fast-forward through commercial breaks, nor is there a cloud DVR feature to record airings for later viewing. That said, it’s a great alternative for those looking for a wide range of channels without subscription fees.
