Netflix customers can get free one-month subscription at rival sites as provider brings in extra charges for 'sharing' customers

A number of Netflix rivals are offering free trials to tempt subscribers as the former 'chill' platform is criticised for its password charging extras, those who share details with family and friends face higher rates. Up until now, using someone elses log in has been a popular way at splitting the cost of the £6.99 subscription.

It means those who are more liberal with their account details will be charged an extra penny or too to do so, exactly £4.99 extra, bringing the total monthly cost to £11.98. It's an extra fiver per per who piggbacks on an account, be it a friend or family member living at another address, so the cost can quickly add up.

As Netflix users who split their account across multiple households are faced with extra charges, one rival streaming platform is offering a free full month of content. And you can watch from wherever with whoever as long as you have the correct log in and password.
