We believe everyone should be able to make financial decisions with
confidence. While we don't cover every company or financial product on
the market, we work hard to share a wide range of offers and objective
editorial perspectives.
So how do we make money? Our partners compensate us for advertisements that
appear on our site. This compensation helps us provide tools and services -
like free credit score access and monitoring. With the exception of
mortgage, home equity and other home-lending products or services, partner
compensation is one of several factors that may affect which products we
highlight and where they appear on our site. Other factors include your
credit profile, product availability and proprietary website methodologies.
However, these factors do not influence our editors' opinions or ratings, which are based on independent research and analysis. Our partners cannot
pay us to guarantee favorable reviews. Here is a list of our partners.

AMC+ costs as little as $7.99 per month to stream content with ads, or you can pay a monthly or annual premium price for streaming without ads.
Content on AMC+ includes hundreds of movies, from independent films to fan favorites, along with series like “Mad Men” and “Sherlock.”
If you’re a movie buff or a fan of “The Walking Dead” spinoffs, here’s what AMC+ would cost you:
AMC+ subscription cost
AMC+ offers two basic options:
AMC+ Monthly with Ads
Cost: $7.99/month.
Includes: Full access to AMC+, Shudder and Sundance Now, plus six live TV channels.
AMC+ Monthly or Annual Premium
Cost: $10.99/month or $109.99/year.
Includes: All of the ad-based version’s viewing options but (mostly) without ads, and with the option to download content to watch later.
In most cases, subscriptions come with a seven-day free trial.
Other ways to subscribe to AMC+
You can also add AMC+ to your subscription to Prime Video, Apple TV+ or the Roku Channel. If you subscribe through another service, you would access your AMC+ content through that service, rather than through amcplus.com or the AMC+ app.
Prime Video: $7.99/month with ads or $10.99/month without ads.
Apple TV+: $10.99/month.
Roku: $7.99/month with ads or $10.99/month without ads.
Subscribers to AMC+ content can stream on up to five devices at the same time. That said, you can only set up one profile on the account.
Is AMC+ worth it?
If “The Walking Dead” is your comfort show or you chill to BBC America, it may make sense to make room in your budget for this streaming subscription. Not sure where it fits? Consider using the 50/30/20 budget, in which 50% of your money goes to needs, 30% to wants and 20% to savings and paying off debt.
In this kind of budget, streaming services would be on the “wants” side of things. You’ll have to decide if you’ve got space for more movie watching among your expenses. If you don’t, you may need to trim other costs, like eating out or monthly clothes purchases.
Another option: If your “wants” category is stretched, check out rewards categories for the credit cards you have — some cards offer streaming rewards, including as much as 6% cash back.
