In case you missed it, multiple streaming services have increased their prices this year, and a few have joined forces to offer bundles. Roku on Thursday announced the addition of more than 30 bundles for viewers in the US and Mexico, with savings of up to 33% per month depending on which options you sign up for. Howdy, Roku’s own ad-free, $3-per-month streaming service is included in the offerings.
These aren’t limited-time deals, either — customers will find multiple combinations of two streaming services packaged together that include offerings like Starz with AMC Plus, AMC Plus with Hallmark Plus or HBO Max and Cinemax. You can shop for these bundles on your Roku devices, in the phone app or on the web via the Roku Channel. Below is a sampling of the streaming duos available in the US and their monthly prices. If you want to see the full list of bundles, head here, but check the subscriptions section on your Roku device for pricing on every offering.
- HBO Max and Cinemax: $23 per month ($28.48 without bundle)
- Starz and MGM Plus: $14 per month ($20 without bundle)
- Howdy and Hallmark Plus: $9 per month ($11 without bundle)

If you already have a subscription to a premium service like Starz or Howdy, it’s possible you can change to one of these bundles without worrying about being billed twice, according to Roku. Customers will only need to cancel their current plan and then switch. The company also said it plans to roll out more streaming bundles in the future.
