What is Paramount Plus
We’ve mentioned some of the features of Paramount Plus, but what exactly is it? This term defines itself as a paid streaming platform operated by Paramount Global , which offers you tons of original and third-party TV series .
In full Netflix or Disney+ style, you can view movies and TV series acquired by the platform on the screen of your smart TV or on your smartphone. Simply create an account and choose the subscription plan you prefer, then access the main catalog with the best quality content.
Surely in Italy it is not the longest-lived platform, in fact, Paramount films have been appearing on the Italian territory for only a few months, but you can count on productions of the highest level, as well as an enviable video quality.
We recommend using Paramount Plus not only on your smartphone, but also on Smart TVs, there are no compatibility problems. Unlike NOW , Paramount Plus is also available on Android TVs , you don’t necessarily have to own a Smart TV, Sony, Samsung or LG. Devices such as Amazon Fire TV , Apple TV and TIM Vision also allow the installation of the dedicated Paramount Plus software, therefore, you will be covered on any audio/video source.
How much does Paramount Plus cost
We anticipated you that Paramount Plus is a subscription platform, which implies a cost for viewing its content online. Although the cost of the subscription may vary over time, this platform usually costs 7.99 euros per month or 79.90 euros per year.
If you were a Sky Cinema subscriber , you would have the Paramount Plus subscription already included in the package. But in addition to this solution, which can hardly be applied to everyone, in most cases one opts for registration on Amazon Prima Video or on Paramount Plus itself.
In fact, if you already have a Prime Video account, you could also activate the Paramount Plus channel in the dedicated section, effectively eliminating an extra application on your smart TV or smartphone.
