FULL STORY ======================================================================

When HBO launched its very own streaming platform, HBO Max , last year, there wasn't much need to lull in customers, already renowned for producing gritty, quality TV shows and movies. That said, it still boasted a HBO Max free
trial, allowing new customers to give the service a try for a period of
7-days and see if it was the platform for them.

Much like Disney Plus, though, after a while the HBO Max free trial disappeared - but has it gone for everyone? Find out below if any kind of
free trial is available and alternative, cheap ways to subscribe to HBO Max and its plethora of superb content. Best HBO Max movies Disney Plus free

From the platforms launch in May 2020 until early December, the HBO Max free trial was available to help uncertain newbies decide whether the fledgling streaming service was for them. It provided 7 days of complimentary access, not only to Warner Brothers' 100-year-old film library, but iconic HBO series like The Sopranos, and third-party content from the likes of New Line Cinema and Studio Ghibli.

The reason for axing the trial (just like Disney Plus did last year)? A WarnerMedia representative only said that we frequently update and iterate
our offers to provide flexible ways for potential subscribers to access all that HBO Max has to offer, and noted that they were following a precedent already set by Disney Plus and Netflix.

The announcement came shortly before the release of Wonder Woman 1984 , which was made available both in cinemas and through HBO Max. And if you were
hoping it may be introduced in time to watch Justice League (the Snyder Cut)
- all four hours of it! - then we're afraid that the service hasn't played ball.

Halting the free trial at a time when the pandemic had crippled theatrical exhibition was a way to recoup some of that lost box-office revenue, while equally baiting film fans with the exclusive release of a popular property. And it will be hoping to keep subscribers hooked by replicating this approach with all 17 of its 2021 releases.

WarnerMedia's VOD platform certainly was one of the pricier streaming
services out there in comparison to the likes of Hulu, Netflix, and Disney Plus. That was until it announced a new plan in June 2021, offering a With
Ads plan for $9.99 a month . Depending on what you're after from your HBO Max subscription, this could be a great choice for those on a budget.

While you will be inundated with ads and will miss out on some content, this cheaper HBO Max price still gets you tons of TV shows, movies, and other exclusive titles.

Alternatively, you can pay a monthly rate of $14.99 to get all this without ads in its Ad-Free plan, and also be able to watch brand new WarnerBro releases at home on the same day as their cinematic release at the movies. You'll also be able to watch titles in 4K as well as HD, and download to
watch offline anytime.

You can save money by committing to an annual plan rather than its monthly rate - With Ads will cost you $99.99 a year, while Ad-Free will cost $149.99
a year.

It's worth noting you can significantly reduce that amount, or even get HBO Max for free if you qualify.
