The subscription fee is pretty low as compared to all other online streaming services. There is a free 7-day trial and a $5.99/mo fee or $9.99/mo (commercial free) subscription plan. In September, CBS All Access’ revenue doubled up when Star Trek: Discovery was released, and their viewer base increase by almost 2.5x.

Final Words

CBS is one hell of a service which I have been using over the past 2 years. And in my experience, it is a great place apart from Netflix or Hulu. Some primetime shows are exclusive here on CBS and you won’t find them on any other services.

If you are a NFL freak and like to binge watch the older shows like Star Trek or The Price is RIght and more, CBS All Access is the real deal. But yes, after a while, it all becomes monotonous and it’s important to keep a check on your expenses online.
