How much does Peacock cost for students?
Eligible college students can get Premium for $1.99 per month for 12 months. Students must verify their status using a third-party service. Note that the subscription will auto-renew at the end of the 12 months — after which continuing users will be responsible for the standard $5.99 monthly payments — but students can reapply each year and, if approved, get the $1.99 price for another 12 months.
Does Peacock offer a free plan?
Peacock no longer offers a free plan, though some cable TV providers may feature limited access as a promotion to new subscribers. Cable company Xfinity’s NOW TV service includes Peacock Premium.
How many people can use Peacock at once?
Peacock supports up to six profiles per household. Users can also set up kids’ profiles, provided the primary account holder doesn’t use a kid’s profile. However, only three devices can be streaming Peacock at the same time.
Is Peacock worth the price?
