What you get during the trial
The CuriosityStream free trial unlocks access to the CuriosityStream plan on the platform you choose. The service centers on documentaries (content focus), though availability can vary. Because it’s offered as a Channel across Prime Video, Apple TV, and Roku Premium Subscriptions—and also Direct—the exact presentation and features depend on where you sign up.
Keep a couple of notes in mind while you test it out:
- Documentaries first: The library focuses on non‑fiction. That’s the core of what you’ll explore in the CuriosityStream free trial.
- Library rotation: The catalog can shift as licenses change. Favorites can come and go, so sample widely during your trial.
- After the trial: Plans are listed as $2.99/mo or vary by plan. If you like what you see in your CuriosityStream free trial, pricing is straightforward on each platform.
Because the service runs as a Channel on multiple platforms, the CuriosityStream free trial is especially convenient if you already watch inside Prime Video, Apple TV, or The Roku Channel. If you prefer to keep things outside a marketplace app, choose the Direct option instead.
Which platform is best for your trial?
All listed platforms offer a CuriosityStream free trial, but they work a little differently in practice:
- Prime Video Channels, Apple TV Channels, and Roku Premium Subscriptions keep playback and billing inside their apps. That means a single ecosystem for viewing and payment while you try CuriosityStream free.
- A Direct subscription keeps everything with CuriosityStream. Pick this if you don’t want your trial and billing managed by another platform.
Two practical implications while you evaluate the CuriosityStream free trial:
- Channel subscriptions do not give you a separate app login. Playback and billing stay inside the platform app you chose.
- If you switch later (for example, from a Channel to Direct), your watchlist and progress usually do not carry over because they are tied to your platform account.
If you’re undecided, start the CuriosityStream free trial in the app you already open the most. Convenience matters when you’re deciding what to keep after the trial ends.
