There\u2019s no denying that streaming services just keep getting more expensive<\/a>, with Peacock<\/a> and Max<\/a> being the latest streamers to raise prices across their ad-free plans. We\u2019re also seeing a number of services \u2014 including Max \u2014 dropping support for free trials, ensuring no one other than paying subscribers can access their trove of content. Fortunately, if you haven\u2019t previously subscribed to Max, you can sign up for a rare weeklong trial<\/a> through the end of today, June 23rd. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n Admittedly, a week isn\u2019t enough time to burn through Max\u2019s extensive back catalog of original programming, which includes newer shows like Hacks<\/em>, the animated sci-fi epic Scavenger\u2019s Reign<\/em><\/a>, True Detective: Night Country<\/em>, and last year\u2019s excellent adaptation of The Last of Us<\/em>.<\/a> It is enough time to revisit Dune: Part Two<\/em><\/a> and your favorite Studio Ghibli film, though, as well as the first couple of episodes of the new season of House of the Dragon<\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Max\u2019s current seven-day trial extends to all three subscription tiers, all of which are set to auto-renew at the end of the trial period if you don\u2019t cancel your subscription beforehand. The annual ad-supported plan starts at $9.99 a month or $99 a year, while the ad-free plans \u2014 both of which allow for offline downloads \u2014 start at $16.99 a month or $169.99 annually. Max doesn\u2019t typically offer free trials, so if you\u2019re unsure as to which plan is right for you, now is a good opportunity to find out.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
