Long gone are the days, when Netflix used to offer a limited free trial and the “watch free” option that let non-subscribers watch the first episodes of selected shows without spending a single penny. The streaming service used these tactics to attract a new user base by providing them with a great experience and persuading them to upgrade to one of the paid plans.
But soon, users started abusing the “Netflix free trial 3 months” offer. They used to take advantage of the free trial period, cancel it, and then use a different email address to enjoy another free trial. To minimize this loss, Netflix dropped its free trial & watch-free offerings in October 2020.

Netflix offers multiple subscription plans to meet your entertainment needs.
- Basic with Ads = $6.99/month (Watch on 1 supported device at a time. Some content will be unavailable.)

How Can I Get Netflix For Zero Cost | Legit Ways To Enjoy Netflix Free Subscription (2023)
Before, we get started, keep in mind the following things:
- Netflix no longer offers a 30-day or 3-month free trial.
- You cannot legally obtain a Netflix free subscription for a lifetime.
- The streaming service offers a free one-month trial of its DVD rental service.
1. Ask a friend:
Netflix does not allow sharing of account details with anyone other than the account holder. But you can ask your friend to share their credentials.
This is probably one of the most convenient ways that will help you to get Netflix at no cost. With a number of people using the paid service, you can ask them to share the Netflix account login information. This will let you watch the streaming service for free as you are not the one paying for it. The only constraint to this is not all people can watch Netflix content at the same time.
As Netflix allows up to 4 screens at max for the Premium plans, and if more users try to join, it will let you log in but won’t let you watch anything unless it is downloaded offline. So, you can use this trick to watch your favorite shows and movies on Netflix. Use the app on your device and download the TV Shows and movies at the time, when the account is free. Stream them later in offline mode.
