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.
