How Much Does Paramount Plus Cost on Xfinity Flex and X1?

At the moment, Paramount Plus offers two subscription plans, starting at $4.99 per month ($49.99 per year), which is an ad-supported subscription plan.

If you want to get rid of ads and if you wish to access your local CBS station, you'll need to pick the 'Premium' plan. That one comes priced at $9.99 per month ($99.99 per year).

What Happened to 'CBS All Access' on Xfinity? Has Paramount+ Replaced It? 

Yes, Paramount Plus has replaced CBS All Access, which is no longer available on Xfinity. Still, that doesn’t mean that you need to re-subscribe to Paramount+, as your account has already been transferred to the new streaming service.

In other words, you don’t need to create a new account for Paramount Plus if you have been subscribed to CBS All Access in the past. Feel free to use your "old" CBS All Access credentials to log in to Paramount Plus. 

Paramount Plus Not Working on Xfinity? - Here's What to Do!

If Paramount Plus isn't working on your Xfinity TV box, there's a range of actions you can try. So, go through these troubleshooting steps:

• Ensure You Have a Compatible Device: Even some relatively new Xfinity TV boxes are not compatible with Paramount+. If that's the cause of your issue, you should see a message saying that you need to replace/upgrade your equipment. That means you should contact Xfinity and ask for a TV streaming box that supports Paramount Plus.
• Clear Cookies & Local Storage Data: In some cases, removing your apps' locally stored data can resolve streaming-related issues. So, navigate to Settings > Privacy > Clear Cookies and Local Storage Data. Pick 'OK' when asked to confirm your message.
• Restart Your Equipment: Another fix for streaming issues is to restart your equipment. That means you should restart your router, Xfinity TV box, and your TV. Feel free to plug all those devices out of their power source. Wait around 30 seconds, and then plug them back in. Wait until your router boots up (which could take a few minutes) and try streaming again.
• Ask for Assistance: The final step would be to turn to Xfinity and Paramount+. If you're unsure about the cause of the technical issue you're experiencing, it's best to contact both companies, providing as many details as possible.
