Hulu and Disney Plus finally become one this year as the pair have merged into one unified, money-saving streaming bundle. And now it's time for you to reap the benefits as a subscriber.
While users still have to have their own login, you can now purchase the services as well as HBO's Max streaming platform as the as part of the Disney Plus, Hulu, and Max bundle.
This money-saving deal gathers all three platforms into one super-streamer that you can save up to 38% on when you subscribe. You can get in on the deal for just $16.99 per month for the ad-supported option, which is $8.98 less than its normal price of $25.97.
You can also opt for the ad-free tier, which is $29.99 monthly and 38% off its normal price of $47.97. Anyone can take advantage of the bundle, so you're good to go even if you're a former subscriber coming back to the service.
But there are plenty of other ways to try out what Hulu and Disney Plus have to offer by way of trials, discounted services, and other perks you may not have been aware of. We've outlined them below so you can see what each has to offer without a hassle.
Does Disney Plus or Hulu have a free trial?
Interestingly, while Disney Plus does not have a free trial, Hulu’s standalone service does. New users can sign up for a 30-day Hulu free trial of the ad-supported tier or a 3-day trial of Hulu + Live TV on the official website. Currently there are no free trials available for the Disney Bundle or any of the ad-free options. If you're interested in signing up for it, you'll have to take the plunge without a test drive.

Disney Plus, Hulu and Max bundle
The Disney Plus, Hulu and Max bundle is currently another option that's available, as previously stated.
You can save up to 38% on when you subscribe to this multi-streamer service. It's $16.99 per month for the ad-supported option, which is $8.98 less than its normal price of $25.97.
The ad-free tier is also available, which is $29.99 monthly and 38% off its normal price of $47.97.
There is no trial available for the triple-service bundle, but you can sample each one individually should you be curious about what's available on each platform and how the services perform. This is, however, one of the most economical ways to maintain all three streamers if you're interested in doing so.
