Does Hulu Have a Free Trial?

Free trials are awesome, especially in a streaming world that has so many services to choose from. It can get very difficult to know which streamers have the shows and movies you want, but a free trial gives you the opportunity to test a platform and make sure it has the content you want. Hulu has one of the most generous free trials in all of streaming, with its 30-day offer.

It’s incredibly easy to get a free trial of Hulu, and the trial is offered to all new customers on both of the streamer’s plans.

What Plan Options Does Hulu Have?

Hulu has two different plans, and it offers monthly or annual payment options for its ad-supported tier. The two plans are:

  • Hulu (ad-supported): $7.99 per month or $79.99 per year ($15.98 in savings)
  • Hulu (ad-free): $17.99 per month (no annual option)

Hulu’s ad-supported plan offers more than 1,700 TV series, as well as 1,400 movies. It offers next-day streams of primetime shows from ABC and Fox, and a wide range of original programming including FX’s “The Bear,” “Shōgun” and more. The streamer also carries Academy Award-winning movies, such as 2023’s “Poor Things” featuring Oscar winner Emma Stone. All of this content is available for streaming with limited ad breaks.

Hulu’s ad-free plan removes the commercial breaks, doing away with those pesky interruptions. Viewers can also bundle other Disney-owned streaming services with either Hulu plan; add Disney+ with ads for as little as $2.99 extra per month, or upgrade to the Disney Trio Basic bundle and incorporate ESPN+ for $14.99 per month total.

How to Sign Up for Hulu

  1. Head to the Hulu website.
  2. Click “Sign up for Hulu only” to get the free trial.
  3. Choose between ad-supported or ad-free Hulu plans and click “Select.”
  4. Create an account.
  5. Enter payment information.
  6. Start streaming!

It may seem like a trick, but it really is that easy to sign up for Hulu’s free trial and stream the service at no cost for a full 30 days. Your subscription will automatically renew at the standard price for whichever plan you pick, so keep an eye on your account if you want to cancel before your trial ends.
