Paramount Plus was formerly known as CBS All Access, and it is without a doubt one of the most popular streaming platforms in the United States. It has lots of movies and shows to see on-demand. People have grown used to having online streaming services in the past years, and Paramount Plus has a lot to offer. Below is a review of Paramount Plus. 

The cost and the performance

As mentioned above, Paramount Plus used to be called CBS All Access, the platform which belongs to, well, CBS. Later on, in 2021, CBS merged with Viacom, and the merger made the company Paramount Global. Paramount plus offers a wide selection of content and two types of subscription plans. These plans are Limited Commercials and Commercial Free. The Limited Commercials plan is cheaper than most other streaming platforms. It only costs 4,99 dollars per month. It is cheaper than Disney Plus, Netflix, Hulu, and HBO Max. So it definitely creates an advantage for Paramount Plus. And, if you are a student, the monthly cost will only be 3,75 dollars, which is very convenient. The only catch is, as the name hints, you will have ads in your content. If you do not prefer to see ads and have a more wholesome experience, the second option is more suitable for you. 

The Commercial Free subscription costs 9,99 per month. It is more expensive than some platforms are, but the content is wide, as mentioned before, and it will likely be worth your money. There’s also a better option if you are going for no commercials, paying 100 dollars for the year upfront saves 16% of the money you will spend if you go for the monthly 9,99 dollars option. 

The interface is quite a user-friendly one. It looks just like the Netflix interface, so, if you are familiar with other online streaming platforms, you will not have any trouble adjusting to it. You will easily see what is trending, the categories, alphabetical lists, etc. All in all, it is easy and convenient to use.
