Our take

For anything Roku actually bills, the exit is easy: turn off auto-renew at my.roku.com or on the device in a couple of clicks. The catch is scope, not friction. If Roku is only billing you for another service like Disney Plus or Sling, you cancel that one with the service directly.

Here's the honest answer: Hulu ended its free trial on June 15, 2026, after sixteen years, so new sign-ups are billed on day one. If price is the concern, the $1.99/mo student plan and Hulu's Black Friday annual deal (often under $2/mo) are the real bargains. And if you specifically wanted a trial run, plenty of streamers in our catalog still offer one.

This is DIRECTV's streaming product. No satellite dish, no two-year contract, and a real 5-day free trial you can cancel online. The catch isn't a contract, it's the clock: a card hold goes on at signup, and if you don't cancel by the end of day five, the first month bills at full price. And these packages aren't cheap. Take the trial to sample live TV and sports before a big weekend. Set an alarm for day four, and cancel from Manage My TV Subscription if it's not for you.
