Paramount Plus to cost $10 ad-free, to launch $5 tier with ads in June
Paramount Plus, a new streaming service replacing CBS All Access next week, will cost $10 a month to stream ad free on a premium tier when it launches March 4, and it will add a cheaper, $5-a-month “base” tier in June that is supported by advertising.
That cheaper tier marks a $1 discount to CBS All Access’ entry-level price, but this base tier will no longer have the live stream of CBS’ broadcast network, among other tweaks. People who already have CBS All Access automatically qualify to transfer to the comparable tier of Paramount Plus. Currently, CBS All Access costs $6 a month or $60 annually for its tier with advertising, or $10 a month or $100 annually to go ad-free — though it’s offering a year of the service at half price right now, which will carry over to Paramount Plus.
The Paramount Plus premium tier will include the breadth of everything on Paramount Plus, including live streams of the CBS Network and local channels. Even though this is the ad-free tier, some advertising will persist in the live channels.
