Netflix trial month – does it exist?

In the past, Netflix offered a trial month in which you could test the streaming service for free. We show you what you need to know about the trial month and how to register.

Netflix trial month: All important info

Netflix is by far the most popular video on demand service in the world. As with Amazon Prime, Maxdome and Co. you could sign up for a free trial month until mid-2020.

• In the meantime, however, this has come to an end. If you want to use Netflix, you will have to dig into your pocket from day 1.
• Netflix charges 7.99 euros per month for the basic subscription (all prices as of January 2022). However, this only allows you to use Netflix on one device at a time and in weak SD quality. The basic subscription is therefore not a real option.
• For 12.99 euros per month, you can stream in HD quality on two devices at the same time. For 17.99 euros, four parallel streams in 4K quality are possible.
• There is also the option of a basic subscription with advertising, for only €4.99. However, you will have to cut back on the variety of content and download options, as these are not available here.

How to register

Unfortunately, you can no longer try Netflix for free. We explain below how to sign up for the regular subscription.

• Open the Netflix website, enter your mail address in the appropriate field and click on the “Get started” button.
• Click on “Next”, enter your desired password and click on “Next” again.
• Now select the desired model. Here you have the choice between Basic, Standard and Premium. As a rule, the Standard subscription makes the most sense.
• Now leave a payment method. You can choose between credit card, direct debit, PayPal or a Netflix gift card.
• If your payment method is accepted, your Netflix subscription will start from now on. If you do not like the service, you can cancel Netflix at any time.
• Tip: Using your Netflix subscription on a Smart TV is a little easier with Amazon’s Fire TV Stick. With the extra Netflix button and the option to select specific content via voice control, you can get to your favourite series faster. There are also several options for subtitles and audio.
