Philo, an underrated budget live TV streaming service, is offering a brand-new deal, which allows new users to save about 24% on their first month of service.
The new Philo deal reduces your introductory month from $33 a month to just $25 a month before the service renews at its then-standard rate. Customers are free to cancel at any time. The deal is listed as a “limited time offer,” although we’re not seeing a specific end date in the terms and conditions.
Philo ranks as the top budget pick we’ve tested in our guide to the best live TV streaming services. While the streaming service is missing major sports and news channels, it has carved out a niche for itself within the entertainment and lifestyle space. The streamer carries 70+ channels in its paid plan, including hits like AMC, the Hallmark Channel, HGTV, Lifetime, MTV, Nickelodeon, and TLC, among others. All paid Philo subscriptions also automatically unlock access to the ad-supported tiers of HBO Max and Discovery Plus, in addition to the AMC Plus library.
Below, you can find answers to some frequently asked questions about Philo. For a comprehensive overview of the service, you can check out our official Philo guide.
Philo Subscription
If you want your streaming service to cost less per month than a single trip for the family to Starbucks, Philo is made with you in mind. It features over 70 channels for just $33 a month, but it is missing popular sports and local networks.
FAQ
How do I get the Philo deal?
As long as you’re a new user, the Philo deal will automatically be applied when you sign up. You won’t need to enter a promo code. You can start the sign-up process by clicking “Get this deal” on the Philo homepage. You’ll be prompted to enter your email, verify your email, and then input your payment information.
How often does Philo offer deals?
This is a rare deal from Philo. Given that the streaming service is relatively cheap, we don’t typically see introductory offers.
Is Philo worth it?
Whether Philo is worth it depends on the streaming needs of your household. If you have other ways to get sports and news (or you don’t care about those channels in the first place), Philo is a solid option. In our time spent testing out the service, we found that it’s a great entertainment and lifestyle hub if you’re just looking to scroll and has a surprisingly ample on-demand catalog.
The service is also a solid option for those seeking niche entertainment channels, such as MTV, which aren’t available live via standalone services like Paramount Plus and instead require a live TV streaming service or cable package to watch.
