Subscribing to Netflix is easy... but choosing the right Netflix plan is much less so. Between price changes, "with ads" options, the number of screens, 4K, and the false promises of "1 month free Netflix," it's easy to get lost.

In this comprehensive guide, we will look at:

  • how to subscribe to Netflix in just a few minutes;
  • How much does a Netflix subscription cost (2024 price / 2025 price)?
  • Netflix subscription: how many screens (1 screen, 2 screens, 4 screens) and how many profiles on Netflix;
  • the difference between Netflix Standard and Premium (HD vs Ultra HD/4K);
  • realistic deals (gift cards, boxes, co-subscriptions);
  • and pitfalls to avoid (free Netflix account email and password, "buy Netflix account," generators, etc.).

1) How to subscribe to Netflix (and open an account)

To subscribe to Netflix, the most reliable way is to go through the official Netflix pages (website or app) and create your Netflix account.

Simple steps (web or app)

  1. Go to the Netflix sign-up page, then choose a plan.
  2. Create your account (email + password).
  3. Add a payment method.
  4. Select your profile and start watching.

To manage your subscription, the most useful page is your account area (often found at account.netflix.com / netflix.com account). This is where you can change your plan, check your billing, manage profiles, and more.

Tip: if you search for "Netflix welcome," remember that everything is done from the Netflix home page in the app, but your plan is managed under "Account."

2) Netflix prices: how much will a Netflix subscription cost in 2025?

The question comes up in a thousand different ways: how much is a Netflix subscription, how much does Netflix cost, Netflix price, Netflix package price, Netflix pricing...

In France, Netflix offers (at the time of writing) three main plans: Standard with ads, Standard, and Premium. Several mainstream sources and distributors (e.g., operators) display these prices.

Netflix subscription price 2025 (France)

  • Standard with ads: $7.99/month
  • Netflix Standard: $14.99/month
  • Netflix Premium (Ultra HD/4K): $21.99/month

If you see "Netflix without ads price," this usually corresponds to the Standard (without ads) or Premium (without ads) plan.

Netflix subscription price 2024 (useful reference)

In 2024, many comparisons still mentioned lower prices, notably €5.99 (Standard with ads) and €13.49 ( Standard without ads) before the 2025 increase.
That's why we still see searches such as " Netflix subscription price 2024 " and " Netflix prices 2024" circulating.

3) Netflix subscription: how many screens, how many profiles?

How many Netflix screens according to the plan?

This is THE practical question: Netflix subscription how many screens / how many screens, number of Netflix screens, Netflix number of screens, Netflix 1 screen price, Netflix 2 screens price, Netflix 4 screens price...

In summary:

  • Standard with advertising: generally 2 devices/screens simultaneously
  • Standard: usually 2 screens simultaneously
  • Premium: typically 4 screens simultaneously (ideal for a family/shared living situation)

So:

  • “Netflix 1-screen subscription”: Netflix no longer necessarily has a dedicated “1-screen” offer in France, but if you live alone, the ad-supported or Standard offer may be sufficient (you don’t use 2 screens).
  • "Netflix subscription for two screens": Standard with ads and Standard are often the closest to this requirement.
  • “Netflix 4 screens / Netflix 4 screen”:this is typically the Premium offer.

How many profiles on Netflix?

A Netflix account can have up to 5 profiles (handy for separating recommendations and viewing histories).
And if you're looking for how to add a profile on Netflix, everything is done from the profile management section: creation, modification, deletion.

Not to be confused: profiles (up to 5) ≠ simultaneous screens (2 or 4 depending on the offer).

4) Difference between Netflix Standard and Premium subscriptions (HD/4K)

We often see: difference between Netflix subscription, difference between Netflix Standard and Premium, difference between Netflix Standard and Premium, difference between Netflix subscription, Netflix Standard or Premium, Netflix Premium Ultra HD.

Netflix Standard (ad-free)

  • usually 2 screens simultaneously
  • video quality generally Full HD (1080p)
  • no advertising

Netflix Premium (Ultra HD / 4K)

  • usually 4 screens simultaneously
  • Ultra HD/4K video quality (if your TV/screen and connection allow it)
  • no advertising

What about the "Standard with ads" offer?

  • lower prices, but with advertising
  • usually 2 screens simultaneously

5) One month free Netflix, free trial, Netflix 30 days free: myth or reality?

Many people are still searching for:

  • 1 month free Netflix, Netflix 1 month free, Netflix 30 days free, Netflix one month free, free month Netflix, free trial Netflix, Netflix trial offer, Netflix trial period...

Important note: Netflix states that it does not offer free trials (at the time this help page is available).

What about the "1-month free gift codes"?

Requests such as " Netflix gift code for 1 month free " or " Netflix promo for 1 month free " are common. In practice, be wary:

  • Netflix sells gift cards to pay for subscriptions, but this does not equate to an "automatic free month."

6) Subscribe to Netflix for a year: Netflix subscription for 1 year, annually, 2025

We see Netflix 1-year subscription, Netflix annual subscription, Netflix annual subscription, Netflix 1-year subscription.

Netflix generally operates on a monthly basis, with no long-term commitment: you pay each month, and you can cancel whenever you want.

A good habit to get into if you want to “think about the year”:

  • Calculate your cost over 12 months (e.g., Standard x 12).
  • then compare with an optimization strategy (family sharing, pooling, bundling subscriptions).

7) How to change your Netflix subscription (immediately or not?)

Frequently asked questions: change Netflix subscription, how to change Netflix subscription, how to change subscription on Netflix, Netflix change subscription, immediate Netflix plan change.

Netflix specifies:

  • Upgrading to a more expensive plan can be applied quickly.
  • Switching to a cheaper plan usually takes effect on the next billing date.

The procedure is simple: go to the "Change offer" page from your account.

8) Free Netflix: what's legal... and what smells like a scam

There is a huge difference between:

  • “pay less,”
  • and "Netflix free for life."

Expressions such as free Netflix, watch Netflix for free, get Netflix for free, free Netflix without an account, free Netflix, free Netflix, and free Netflix are circulating widely... but most of these "miracle tips" are either false or risky.

Avoid: free accounts, generators, cracking

If you come across:

  • free Netflix account 2024/2025, Netflix free account, Netflix account free, free account of Netflix,
  • free Netflix account email and password,
  • Netflix account generator / Netflix account generator,
  • buy Netflix account, buy Netflix account free, abt Netflix / abt Netflix free,
  • or worse, how to crack Netflix...

…in 99% of cases, you are dealing with:

  • stolen credentials,
  • scams,
  • phishing attempts (fake login pages similar to account.netflix.com),
  • or security risks (malware, card theft, etc.).

The idea is not to "play" with your account: you could lose access, get blocked, or expose your data.

The only "clean" ways to reduce the bill

  • choose the right package (Advertising / Standard / Premium),
  • use commercially purchased gift cards,
  • take advantage of operator offers when they are available,
  • pool resources when possible within a clear framework.

9) Netflix with Free/box: "free Netflix box," "which provider offers Netflix for free"?

Questions such as how to subscribe to Netflix with Free, free Netflix with Free, free Netflix box, and which operator offers Netflix for free are frequently asked.

In practice:

  • Some operators offer Netflix included or as an option in packages.
  • But "free" often means "included in a more expensive package" (so compare carefully).

If you use a provider (bundled offer), keep in mind that changing your Netflix plan may depend on the partner. Netflix also mentions this in its plan change documentation.
And distributors such as Orange clearly display Netflix prices via their TV service.

10) Netflix tip: pay less without cheating

If you use Netflix regularly, the real "Netflix tip" is not to look for a "free Netflix account," but to optimize your subscription budget.

The classic problem: you pay for a plan that is too large for your needs.

Many people purchase Premium "just in case," then only use one screen:

  • you pay for 4 screens,
  • but you watch alone on one screen most of the time.

A simple approach: pooling available seats (co-subscription)

When a subscription offers multiple screens, there is automatically "unused capacity." The principle of co-subscription is to share this cost rather than bear it alone.

A platform such as Spliiit connects people who have available spots on their memberships with others who are looking to join a spot, while managing payments and connections.

In practical terms, if you are hesitating between a Netflix 2-screen subscription and a Netflix 4-screen subscription:

  • either you choose a package tailored to your immediate needs,
  • Either you pool your resources to access a more comfortable package (and sometimes 4K) while splitting the bill.
