Paramount+ vs Peacock
The first table pairs the entry plan and the ad-free plan. Peacock Premium, the full catalog with ads, has no Paramount+ twin, so it stays in the full price table. What each cheaper plan gives up is the tradeoff stored on that plan.
Verdict
Entry plan with ads: Paramount+ Essential and Peacock Select are $8.99/mo. Annual price: Paramount+ Essential and Peacock Select are $89.99/yr.
Ad-free on demand: Paramount+ Premium is lowest at $13.99/mo. Peacock Premium Plus is $19.99/mo. Annual price: Paramount+ Premium is lowest at $139.99/yr. Peacock Premium Plus is $199.99/yr.
Same-kind plans
“No priced plan” means the catalog has no price for that row. An em dash means the row does not include that service. Neither one is a guessed price.
