Picking the best streaming service can be a tricky task. Finding a subscription-based TV provider that offers a bit of everything for everyone is important too. Whether you are looking for the latest movies and televisions shows, live sports, or TV channels and on-demand content, the one that has the best features and price plans to suit you really matters.
While fubo, DIRECTV, YouTube TV and Sling TV provide customers with dozens of live sports and, in some cases, hundreds of channels, the more affordable streaming packages like Amazon Prime, Netflix, Apple TV+ and especially Paramount+ gives people a much lower monthly cost.

Paramount+ is one of the most affordable streaming services. With a very low price point, it still boasts excellent choices for new and classic movies, with a selection of live channels that carry sports such as Major League Soccer (MLS) and exclusive rights to UEFA Champions League coverage in the US.
But of course while their live sports coverage and on-demand entertainment is great, there may come the time to, for whatever reason, cancel your subscription. A lot of places make you jump through hoops to cancel a streaming plan, but Paramount+ makes it incredibly easy, offering peace of mind in case you wish to have a break.

Can I pause my Paramount Plus subscription?
Unfortunately there is no option to pause your plan, meaning cancellation is the only way to take a break. You could look to alter your subscription option but if you have paid your fees for an annual plan, there is no partial refund policy. The good news is that cancellation decisions don't mean you have to create a new account if you change your mind, as your subscription details and account information is still stored.
