Netflix is a streaming service with a ton of great content, including original shows and movies that you can’t watch anywhere else. Between rising membership costs and tough economic times, not everyone can afford a subscription, but there are a few ways to watch Netflix for free.
Netflix’s basic subscription only lets you watch one show or movie at a time, but the standard and premium subscriptions let you watch multiple things on multiple devices. The standard subscription lets you watch up to two things at a time, and the premium subscription lets you stream up to four shows or movies at a time.
Netflix’s basic plan doesn’t support HD streaming, so if you know someone with a Netflix subscription, chances are they have the Standard or Premium plan. If they’re willing to add you as an additional member to their account, you can log in and watch whatever you want without interrupting their binge-watching.
Netflix lets you create up to five separate profiles under one household, each with separate watch lists and recommendations. Profiles let you share your account without your friends or family clogging up your recommendations with shows you have no interest in.
