Hulu Free Trial: Stream for a month without paying a dime

Add as a preferred source on Google

With all of the streaming services that are available right now, it’s going to be tough to choose where you’ll spend on subscriptions, especially if you want to stick to a tight budget after spending on a streaming device like Roku deals. If you’re not yet on Hulu, we highly recommend giving it a try. If you don’t want to commit just yet, the good news is that you can first go with the Hulu free trial. We’ll tell you everything that you need to know about enjoying a Hulu free trial, if there are other ways to get a Hulu subscription for free, and tips on searching for Hulu deals. You won’t regret signing up for Hulu, but we’re here to make sure the experience starts on the right foot.

Is there a Hulu free trial?

Yes, there’s a Hulu free trial! Right now, you can get one month free on either the Hulu (ad-supported) plan or the no-ads plan. If you’re only planning on sticking around with Hulu for a month, you may as well sign up for the no-ads plan to save any interruptions. You’ll need to hand over your credit card details but you won’t be charged until the date that the one-month trial runs out. However, while there’s still no Disney Plus free trial, a Hulu with Live TV free trial is now available, if you prefer signing up for the subscription along with access to live TV content.

Can you get Hulu for free?

The Hulu free trial is the simplest way to get Hulu for free, but there are alternatives if you’re looking to have the service for longer than just a month. One solution is to have a Spotify Premium Student account which means you can also get Hulu (with ads) for free alongside it. You’ll need to be a student to be eligible but it’s a good way of saving big if you’re at school. Alternatively, if you’re a Sprint customer, select plans lets you enjoy the best Hulu original series for free.

Alternatively, you might consider some of the other services with offers, like the Showtime free trial, Amazon Prime Video free trial, the Sling TV free trial, or even the Netflix free trial. They’re certainly not the same as Hulu, but they offer plenty of content to hold you over until you can secure a subscription!

Are there any Hulu deals?

When signing up to Hulu, you have a few different options. If you’re fine with ads, you can stick with Hulu (ad-supported) for $10 per month or $100 for the year. If you hate being interrupted while watching the best movies on Hulu, go for the ad-free Hulu for $19 per month.

However, there’s a better Hulu plan for most people — the Disney Bundle. For $17 per month, you can sign up to Hulu, Disney Plus, and ESPN+ saving you 44% off the usual price of subscribing separately. You can’t pay annually on this one, but with this kind of savings, it’s a great value. If you’d prefer no ads, you can pay $27 per month for Hulu with no ads and the other two services. If you can afford the extra, go for the Disney Bundle plan. If you don’t want all three, there are duo bundle options with just Disney+ and Hulu starting at $11 per month with ads.

Disney is about to give fan edits something rare: official permission. A new agreement with TikTok will let creators use characters, scenes, and other assets from hundreds of Disney movies and television series in their own short-form videos. The available catalog will span Disney’s enormous collection of brands, including Marvel, Star Wars, Pixar, and FX.

The partnership will begin as a US pilot in the coming months, with plans to expand into additional markets. Disney and TikTok have yet to reveal which creators will receive access first or exactly which films, shows, and characters will be available.

Your next boat could finally feel like your car, thanks to this major navigation upgrade
Boat

If you've ever relied on a dedicated marine GPS, you'll know it often feels like stepping back in time. Clunky menus, confusing charts, and awkward route planning have long been part of the boating experience. That's finally starting to change.

As per a report by BusinessWire, Crest and Balise, the two pontoon brands under MasterCraft Boat Holdings, have announced a partnership with marine navigation app Savvy Navvy to bring a far more familiar experience to the helm. Beginning with select 2027 models, owners will be able to use Apple CarPlay and Android Auto to access Savvy Navvy directly from their boat's display. Instead of juggling separate navigation hardware or switching back and forth between your phone and dashboard, boaters will be able to access maps, routes, and trip information from the same infotainment screen they already use.

Chrome can finally stream Netflix in 4K, and Edge just lost bragging rights
Your 4K monitor can finally watch Netflix properly through Chrome

Microsoft Edge has long held one unusual advantage over Chrome on Windows. It could stream Netflix at the full resolution of your expensive 4K monitor. However, Chrome is finally crashing into that exclusive club. Netflix has updated its system requirements to list Google Chrome 117 or later as supporting playback at up to Ultra HD 2160p on compatible Windows computers.

Netflix has updated its system requirements to list Google Chrome 117 or later as supporting playback at up to Ultra HD 2160p on compatible Windows computers. Previously, Windows users generally needed Edge or the Netflix app to stream at 4K, while Chrome delivered a lower-resolution picture. The update appears to be arriving quietly. Google has yet to make a major Chrome announcement about it.
