Disney Plus, the popular streaming service from the House of Mouse, has discontinued its free trial offer, dashing hopes for those looking to sample its content without commitment. Initially introduced at the service's launch, the free trial lasted for seven days but was withdrawn six months later in various regions, including the US, UK, Canada, and Australia.
Why No Free Trial?
Disney's decision to discontinue the free trial aligns with its strategy to focus on subscription-based revenue streams rather than offering trial periods. Despite occasional speculations about the trial's return, there are currently no plans to reinstate it.
Instead, Disney is concentrating on its ad-supported plan to attract more subscribers and generate additional revenue.
