One of the best deals for cord cutters is now live online, with Hulu’s new student discount. While a Hulu subscription regularly costs $7.99 a month, students can get access to the streaming service for just $1.99 a month — a whopping 75 percent off. That’s less than $2 a month to stream thousands of hours of shows, hit movies, documentaries, specials and Hulu Originals.

The Hulu student discount applies to all accredited college and university students, with verification performed through SheerID. Hulu says you can keep the $1.99 subscription price for as long as you’re enrolled in school. This is the cheapest Hulu price we’re seeing online.

Not a student? There are a number of other Hulu deals that you can take advantage of right now, including Hulu’s live TV streaming service giving subscribers a rare discount on the Hulu + Live TV streaming bundle.

GET: HULU + LIVE TV DEAL

The new Hulu deal gets you the Hulu + Live TV streaming bundle (with Disney+ and ESPN+) for just $76.99 a month — that’s a savings of 20% versus paying for all three services separately.

There is no promo code required to claim this Hulu deal, though pricing may change without notice so we recommend locking in the offer while it’s still live.

Is There a Hulu Free Trial?

Looking for a Hulu free trial? Both the Hulu on-demand and Hulu + Live TV plans offer free trials, though at different lengths. The on-demand Hulu streaming plan offers a 30-day free trial (with ads) that’ll let you stream Hulu shows, movies and special online free.

Hulu + Live TV doesn’t always offer trials, but you can get a 3-day free trial to the live TV streaming plan right now. Cancel before your free trial is up to avoid being charged.

What Are the Best Hulu Bundle Deals?

As mentioned, the Hulu + Live TV bundle includes more than 95 live TV channels, plus full access to Hulu, Disney+ and ESPN+ (which also includes live sports streaming). You also get unlimited DVR storage to record live TV and watch it back on demand.

Don’t need live TV? You can also get a Hulu deal as part of the popular Disney Trio Bundle, which gets you Disney+, Hulu and ESPN+ for just $14.99 a month — a savings of 44 percent versus purchasing each streamer separately. The price includes unlimited on-demand streaming for all three services with occasional ads.

GET: DISNEY BUNDLE DEAL

The cheapest Disney Bundle deal, meantime, is on the “Disney Bundle Duo,” which gets you Disney+ (with Ads) and Hulu (with Ads) for $9.99 a month. That’s an incredible value for both different streaming services, considering other streamers like Apple TV+ are $6.99 on their own.

GET: DISNEY BUNDLE DUO

Of course, you can also just get Hulu on its own for $7.99 a month, which includes access to all their on-demand TV shows, movies, documentaries and more.

GET: HULU SUBSCRIPTION

While Hulu offers new promos from time to time (I.e. for National Streaming Day), the latest deal comes on the heels of Disney’s ongoing carriage dispute with Spectrum Cable and parent company Charter Communications, which has seen customers lose access to ABC, ESPN, FX and Freeform on their television sets. Hulu is no doubt hoping to win over Charter customers with the new offer, as those channels are all part of the channel lineup on the Hulu + Live TV plan.
