Deal Alert: Philo Now $25 For First Month

Philo, the streaming service with more than 70 basic cable entertainment channels, is offering its first month for $25 in a time-limited promotion. The regular price is $33 a month.

The streamer’s terms of agreement do not say when the promotional price will no longer be offered. Note that you will be billed the regular $33 a month rate if you don’t cancel prior to the end of the first month.

Philo does not require any installation or cancellation fees. And you can cancel at any time. There are no contracts such as those required by some cable and satellite operators.

At $33 a month, Philo has the lowest price of all major live streaming services, including Sling TV, which is $46 a month. However, Philo does not carry sports channels, such as ESPN, Fox Sports, local channels or regional sports channels.

The decision to omit sports channels and network affiliates allows Philo to charge less because both groups are very expensive to carry. (ESPN, for instance, arguably charges more in carriage fees than any other channel.) They don’t have to pay as much in carriage fees so they don’t need as much subscriber revenue to succeed.
