When you sign up for the free trial, you'll still need to link a mode of payment and you'll automatically be charged at the end of the trial (unless you cancel before then).

To avoid being charged, make a note on your calendar when the 7-day trial ends. Otherwise, you'll be charged monthly.

How Do I Get My Free Trial Month of Paramount+?

Currently, the Paramount+ official website is only offering a 7-day free trial.
