Standalone Apple TV Plans
Apple TV+ Free Trial
Apple TV started out as Apple TV+ with a single paid plan priced at $4.99 per month. By June 2026, the service supports both monthly and yearly billing, with monthly subscriptions set at $12.99 per month.
Because there’s only one subscription tier, the plan you buy is the ad-free option. You’ll also get access to 4K streaming on essentially everything in the catalog. There is an annual subscription available as well, but you’ll need to sign in after subscribing to switch over to the yearly option.
What’s worth watching on Apple TV?
Apple TV’s lineup is centered on its own original shows and movies. Since the service launched, its library has expanded to include widely discussed titles such as Ted Lasso, Severance, and Shrinking.

Apple TV Bundles
See All Bundle Plans
There are two main ways to bundle Apple TV right now: through Apple One or via the Peacock Premium bundle.
Apple One is designed to combine multiple Apple services in one subscription, including Apple Music and Apple Arcade. Peacock Premium bundles follow a more traditional streaming-combo model aimed at saving money. You can also add Apple TV through the Prime Video add-on, but that route doesn’t come with any discount.
Free Trials
Apple TV includes several free trial options for new customers. If you’re subscribing to the service by itself, you can start with a seven-day free trial. If you recently bought an Apple device, you may qualify for three months of free service instead.
You can also get 30 days free through Apple One, but that offer only applies if you haven’t previously been subscribed to Apple TV.
