As the home of Silo, Shrinking, The Studio, Severance, and other shows that start with the letter “S,” Apple TV+ is sneakily making the case that it’s one of the best streaming services for original content. And at $9.99/mo and no ads, it’s also one of the best values in streaming. Now, Apple is running one of its best promotions in months.

Right now, you can get Apple TV+ for $2.99 a month for the first three months. This offer is available for new and eligible returning customers. At the end of the trial, the subscription renews at the $9.99/mo rate.
How Much Is Apple TV+?
Apple TV+ is ad-free, and the regular rate is $9.99/mo. Subscribers can share an account with up to five family members. Netflix’s Standard monthly plan, in comparison, costs $15.49 per month.
The Apple TV app is also home to MLS Season Pass, which requires a separate subscription. MLS Season Pass costs $14.99/mo or $12.99/mo for Apple TV+ subscribers and includes live access to every regular-season match, plus the playoffs and finals. An Apple TV+ subscription is not required to sign up for MLS Season Pass, but the free-to-download Apple TV app is. Apple TV+ is also home to Friday Night Baseball without a separate subscription.
Once you start your Apple TV+ subscription, you can watch shows and films through the Apple TV app. An Apple TV device is not required — Apple TV is available on Roku, Fire TV, Chromecast with Google TV, native TV operating systems like LG, Sony, and Vizio, as well as gaming consoles like PlayStation. Apple TV also (finally) launched an app for Android.
What to Watch on Apple TV+
Apple’s emphasis on original programming makes it one of the more unique (and affordable) streaming services. Unlike studio-backed streamers like Paramount+ or Max, which have deep vaults of content to draw from, or Netflix, which has extensive distribution deals, Apple TV+ primarily hosts Apple-produced TV shows and movies.
Original films include the Martin Scorsese-directed Killers of the Flower Moon and the Brad Pitt and George Clooney two-hander Wolfs, while shows include Silo, Severance, The Morning Show, and Slow Horses. The streamer is also bringing back its signature hit, Ted Lasso, for a fourth season. Beyond its originals, Apple TV+ also hosts the Charlie Brown holiday specials and distributes Major League Soccer through its separate MLS Season Pass subscription.
If you’re comparing the cost of Apple TV+ to other streamers, like Netflix, it’s still one of the most budget-friendly streaming services out there right now.
Does Apple TV+ Have a Free Trial?
Apple TV+ offers a 7-day free trial, and a monthly subscription costs $9.99. There are a few other ways to get longer trials. Certain eligible Apple hardware purchases come with a three-month Apple TV+ free trial.
