Our recommended free trial of HBO Now
Usually we like to keep it simple and go for the direct free trial. However if you are into your free trials like we are then Amazon Channels seem to be a much better option.
It has free trials to dozens of great streaming services, is quick and easy to do, easy to cancel and we never have to keep giving our details over to numerous streaming services. Our main links on this page will take you to the Amazon Channels free trial of HBO Now. In addition to the ease of singing-up you also do not need to keep downloading the various apps as it all works on the Amazon Prime account.
How much will HBO cost after the free trial
As a stand alone service HBO costs $14.99 per month on all platforms where it is available as a standalone addon (or directly). So this will be the case for…
- Amazon Channels
- Hulu
- HBONOW.com
However, if part of Hulu or Amazon you will also be charge for these if they are also part of your free trial
Amazon will charge you after 30 days for the prime subscription of $12.99 per month
Hulu will charge you after its 1-month free trial of $5.99
As for AT&T TV you will be charged whichever package you have chosen, which start at about $65 per month after 7 days.
When should I cancel the free trial to avoid being billed?
We recommend for all trials to cancel 24 hours before your renewal date. This way you will avoid all charges easily and if any issues arise then you have time to amend before you are billed.
