It is popularly known for its TV and internet services. The streaming box of Xfinity already offers many contents, but support for subscription services like Paramount Plus is a huge advantage.

Pricing and plans of Paramount Plus

Another thing to discuss before getting into the steps of streaming is to discuss the pricing of Paramount Plus. Some people misunderstand that the Paramount Plus service is free of cost for Xfinity users. It is false; you must purchase a separate Paramount Plus subscription. Even though it offers limited to content with ads, it is advised to go for a subscription to unlock the full collection. Here are the plans that Paramount Plus offers;

• Paramount Plus Essential plan: $4.99/month & $49.95/year.


• Paramount Plus Premium plan: $9.99/month & $99.99/year.
