Does Max Have a Free Trial in 2024?
There is no free trial for Max, but there is now a way to access its streaming library through an unexpected service.
Since HBO (now Max) joined the streaming service wars, they have been a force to be reckoned with due to their extensive Warner Bros. media library. Home to culture-forming shows (Games of Thrones, House of the Dragon, The Sopranos, The Newsroom, etc.) and movie sagas (The Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, Mad Max, The DC Universe, The Dune Saga, etc.), Max continues to be one of the best streaming services out there.
As streaming has evolved and changed throughout the years, streaming services have also been changing in structure, content rights, and pricing. Despite the increase in competition, Max does not currently offer a free trial in 2024.
That being said, Max and Disney have joined forces to create a new, affordable super-bundle that gives users access to Max, Disney+, and Hulu all under one, convenient billing cycle.
Can You Get Max for Free in Other Ways?
Although Max doesn't have a free trial directly, you can still technically get it "free" through other means. As of August 2024, users who sign up for an annual DashPass membership through DoorDash will gain access to Max (with ads) at no additional cost. This will grant those users with a $240 annual value for only $96/year. To upgrade to an ad-free plan through DoorDash, it will simply tack on an additional $10.99/month; a benefit well worth the cost.
What Max Alternatives Have Free Trials?
Luckily, if you are looking for a free streaming service trial, there are still multiple competitors that offer quality content and a chance to sample their streaming library for free. Check out these various alternatives below:
