They also looked at which five streaming platform free trials are most searched for in each state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><strong>Max<\/strong> took first place\u00a0with 193,811 Google searches per month across America for \u201chbomax free trial.\u201d The streaming platform,\u00a0which recently rebranded following the merging of HBO Max and Discovery+,\u00a0was the most in-demand free trial in 41 states, including New York, California, Texas, and Colorado. It also appeared in the top five most searched for terms across all 50 states.<br><br>Max\u2019s ranking may be in part due to several newly announced titles, including a <em>Max Original\u00a0Harry Potter series\u00a0<\/em>and <em>The Big Bang Theory<\/em> spin-off. The service does not currently offer a free trial and has not since 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Hulu<\/strong> came in a close secondwith 161,313 Google searches on average each month for the term \u201chulu free trial.\u201d The streaming platform was the most sought-after streaming free trial in nine states, including Arkansas, Louisiana, and New Hampshire. It also appeared in every state’s top five most searched for terms.<br><br>Increased interest in Hulu could be due to the fact that they recently released the trailer for a \u2018Futurama\u2019 revival, which will premiere towards the end of July, exclusively on Hulu US. Hulu currently offers a one-month free trial to its customers.<br><br><strong>YouTube TV<\/strong> took the third spot\u00a0with 132,001 monthly searches for the term \u201cyoutube tv free trial.\u201d It was also in the top five most googled searches for free trial across all 50 states. YouTube TV currently offers a 7-day free trial.<br><br>YouTube TV taking the third spot could be driven by the company’s interest in sharing as much content with the broadest audience possible. The Google-owned streaming platform is currently testing automatic AI-powered video dubbing through its research division \u2018Aloud.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><strong>Peacock<\/strong> took fourth place\u00a0with 125,883 searches each month for the term \u201cpeacock free trial.\u201d\u00a0The streaming platform, a subsidiary of NBCUniversal Television and Streaming, is also in the top five searched for terms across every state nationwide.<br><br>The popularity of Peacock could be due to its marketing efforts to share itself as the first service with a free option for streaming. Peacock currently doesn\u2019t offer a free trial to premium content but has a free-with-ads tier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><strong>Netflix<\/strong> came in fifth place\u00a0with 85,206 monthly searches for \u201cnetflix free trial.\u201d To put that into perspective, that\u2019s roughly 2,840 searches per day. Netflix, originally named \u2018Kibble,\u2019 appeared in the top five most searched-for free trials in 39 states, including Pennsylvania, Illinois, Michigan, and Ohio.<br><br>Netflix doesn\u2019t currently offer its customers a free trial. However, Netflix has recently begun to cash in on the incredible talent displayed in cooking shows, with the opening of \u2018NETFLIX BITES\u2019, a pop-up restaurant in Los Angeles that will feature the talents of beloved Netflix chefs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sixth place went to <strong>Disney+<\/strong>,with Americans searching for \u201cdisney plus free trial\u201d 60,844 times per month. The streaming platform, which only appeared in the top five search results for Connecticut, has also\u00a0lost an average of 3.2 million subscribers\u00a0each quarter since Q4 2022, according to Disney’s official second-quarter report released in May 2023.<br><br>A fact that Disney may be attempting to change with efforts such as hosting the international streaming of Futurama\u2019s season 11 reboot when it\u2019s released on July 24th. Disney+ does not currently offer any kind of free trial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><strong>Starz<\/strong> placed seventh,with 60,132 monthly searches dedicated to \u201cstarz free trial\u201d across America each month. Starz, which rebranded to Lionsgate+ in 35 countries, appeared in three states’ top five most popular search terms, including Delaware, Georgia, and Idaho. Starz doesn\u2019t offer a free trial currently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In eighth place is <strong>ESPN+<\/strong>, with 37,425 searches for the term \u201cespn plus free trial\u201d each month. ESPN+ was among the top five most searched for free trials in seven states, including Montana, North Dakota, Nebraska, and Kansas. ESPN+ does not offer a free trial currently.<br><br><strong>FuboTV<\/strong>,with 41,518 searches for \u201cfubotv free trial,\u201d ranked ninth, while<strong>\u00a0Paramount<\/strong>+, with 35,954 searches for \u201cparamount plus free trial,\u201d ranked tenth. FuboTV offers a 7-day free trial, while Paramount+ provides a 30-day free trial.<br><br>Commenting on the findings, a spokesperson for\u00a0<em>CSGOLuck<\/em>\u00a0said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>“The gradual decline in subscriber numbers across various platforms hints at possible ‘streaming fatigue’ among American users.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cWith an overwhelming number of platforms each requiring a subscription fee, many customers can not afford to subscribe to several services, so instead opt for free-trials where possible, in order to watch content exclusive to a single service.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMany providers have caught on to the fact that customers are often canceling before the end of their free trial period, so have done away with this option altogether, in favor of an ad subsidized model for those who can\u2019t afford to pay for the full service.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p><br><strong>The 10 most searched streaming platform free trials:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure
