How many people can watch at the same time

If you need more simultaneous streams or want to keep viewing separate from other household members, you would need to purchase additional Paramount Plus subscriptions outside of Walmart Plus. However, most households find four simultaneous streams sufficient.
What happens if you cancel Walmart Plus
If you cancel your Walmart Plus membership, your access to Paramount Plus ends when ready. Any shows you were watching become unwatchable, and you cannot start new content. Your Paramount Plus account does not convert to a free tier — it straightforward stops working.
If you want to keep watching Paramount Plus after canceling Walmart Plus, you would need to subscribe to Paramount Plus directly. You can do this on the Paramount Plus website or app. Pricing for a standalone Paramount Plus subscription varies — the service offers both ad-supported and ad-free tiers at different price points.
Comparing Walmart Plus to a standalone Paramount Plus subscription
Walmart Plus at $98 per year includes Paramount Plus plus other benefits: free shipping on Walmart.com orders, fuel discounts at Walmart gas stations, and early access to online deals. If you shop at Walmart regularly or use the fuel discount, the total value may exceed what you would pay for Paramount Plus alone.
A standalone Paramount Plus subscription costs less if you only want the streaming service and do not use Walmart's other benefits. However, if you already pay for Walmart Plus for shipping or fuel, adding Paramount Plus at no extra cost is a straightforward way to access the service. The decision depends on whether you use Walmart's other membership perks.
| Service | Cost | What's Included |
|---|---|---|
| Walmart Plus with Paramount Plus | $98/year or $12.99/month | Paramount Plus, free shipping, fuel discounts, early deal access |
| Paramount Plus standalone (with ads) | $5.99/month | Paramount Plus only |
| Paramount Plus standalone (ad-free) | $11.99/month | Paramount Plus only, no ads |
