MGM Plus costs $5.99 per month with ads or $11.99 per month without ads
MGM Plus (formerly called MGM+) is a standalone streaming service owned by Amazon that shows films and television series from the MGM library. You pay a monthly fee and stream on demand — there is no contract, and you can cancel anytime. The service includes movies from MGM's back catalog, original series, and licensed content.
The ad-supported tier runs $5.99 per month. The ad-free tier runs $11.99 per month. Both tiers let you stream on up to four devices at once, though only one stream can play at a time on the ad-free plan (two simultaneous streams on the ad-supported plan). You can also add MGM Plus to an Amazon Prime Video subscription for $5.99 per month on top of your Prime membership.
Key Takeaways
- MGM Plus costs $5.99 monthly with ads or $11.99 monthly without ads, with no long-term contract required.
- The ad-supported plan allows two simultaneous streams; the ad-free plan allows one, though both support up to four registered devices.
- You can subscribe directly through MGM Plus or add it as a channel to an existing Amazon Prime Video subscription.
- The library includes MGM films, original series, and licensed television shows, but the full catalog changes as licensing agreements expire.
How to subscribe and cancel
You can sign up for MGM Plus directly at the MGM Plus website or through the MGM Plus app on your phone, tablet, or streaming device. You will need an email address and a payment method (credit card, debit card, or digital wallet). After you enter your information, your subscription begins when ready and you can start streaming right away.
If you already have an Amazon Prime Video subscription, you can add MGM Plus as a channel instead of subscribing separately. Log into your Prime Video account, go to the Channels section, and select MGM Plus. The $5.99 monthly charge will appear on your Amazon bill alongside your Prime membership.
To cancel, log into your account settings on the MGM Plus website or app and select the option to cancel your subscription. If you added MGM Plus through Prime Video, go to your Prime account settings, find the Channels section, and remove MGM Plus from your subscriptions. Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing cycle — you keep access until that date, then your subscription stops.
What content is available
MGM Plus carries films from MGM's library, which includes older Hollywood productions, action films, and dramas. The service also produces original series — these are shows made specifically for MGM Plus and not available elsewhere. In addition, MGM Plus licenses television series from other networks and studios.
The exact titles available change over time because streaming rights expire and new licensing deals are made. MGM Plus does not publish a complete list of every title in advance. You can browse the current catalog by opening the app or website and scrolling through categories, or you can search for a specific title to see if it is currently available. If a show or film you want to watch is not there, it may return later when the licensing agreement renews.
Simultaneous streams and device limits
On the ad-supported plan ($5.99 per month), you can stream on two devices at the same time. On the ad-free plan ($11.99 per month), you can stream on only one device at a time. Both plans let you register up to four devices to your account, so you can switch between devices — you just cannot watch on multiple devices simultaneously unless you are on the ad-supported tier.
This means a household with multiple people watching at the same time would need either the ad-supported plan or multiple subscriptions. If you live alone or watch one at a time, either plan works the same way in practice.
Ads on the ad-supported plan
The $5.99 per month plan includes advertisements during shows and films. MGM Plus does not publish the exact number of ads or their length, but the ad load is typical for ad-supported streaming services — you will see ads at the start of content, during breaks, and sometimes at the end. You cannot skip ads.
The $11.99 per month plan has no ads at all. Some original series on MGM Plus may have product placement or sponsorship mentions even on the ad-free plan, but these are not separate commercial breaks.
How MGM Plus compares to other streaming services
| Service | Ad-Supported Price | Ad-Free Price | Simultaneous Streams (Ad-Free) | Main Content Type |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| MGM Plus | $5.99/month | $11.99/month | 1 stream | MGM films, originals, licensed TV |
| Hulu | $7.99/month | $14.99/month | 2 streams | ABC/Disney shows, films, originals |
| Paramount+ | $5.99/month | $11.99/month | 4 streams | CBS/Paramount shows, films, originals |
| Apple TV+ | None | $9.99/month | 6 streams | Apple originals only |
MGM Plus is smaller than Hulu or Paramount+ and focuses on a narrower library — MGM's back catalog plus originals. If you want a wide range of current television shows, you may find more content on Hulu or Paramount+. If you want only prestige originals, Apple TV+ has a smaller but curated selection. MGM Plus works best if you are interested in classic films or MGM's original series specifically.
The main trade-off between MGM Plus and competitors is breadth versus focus. Paramount+ and Hulu offer more total titles and current network programming, while MGM Plus specializes in a particular studio's catalog. Your choice depends on what type of content you watch most often.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I watch MGM Plus on my TV?
Yes. MGM Plus has apps for most major streaming devices including Roku, Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV, Google TV, and Samsung Smart TVs. You can also cast from your phone to a compatible TV using Chromecast or AirPlay. Check the MGM Plus website to see which devices are supported in your region.
What happens if I cancel and then want to resubscribe?
You can resubscribe anytime by logging back into your account or creating a new one. There is no waiting period or penalty. Your viewing history and watchlist may or may not be saved depending on how long you were away — contact MGM Plus support if you want to know whether your account data was retained.
Is MGM Plus included with Amazon Prime Video?
No. MGM Plus is a separate subscription, though you can add it to your Prime Video account for $5.99 per month. If you subscribe to MGM Plus directly instead, you do not need Prime Video at all. Some Amazon Prime members get temporary free access to MGM Plus during promotional periods, but this is not a standard benefit.
Can I read shows to watch offline?
MGM Plus does not currently offer offline read. You must stream content while connected to the internet. Some other services like Netflix and Disney+ do allow downloads, so this is a difference worth considering if offline viewing matters to you.
Does the price ever change?
Streaming services change their prices periodically. MGM Plus has raised prices in the past and may do so again. If you are already subscribed, you will usually receive notice before a price increase takes effect, and you can cancel before the new price applies if you choose.
