  "account": "To obtain Paramount+ online at no cost, a clever workaround exists. Paramount+ does not offer a direct free trial anymore, but it can be accessed as an add-on channel to Prime Video. With a seven-day free trial, potential subscribers can test the Premium plan before committing to the service. After the trial period, the Essential Plan, which provides access to TV shows, movies with limited commercials, and the inclusion of Showtime, is priced at $8.99 per month or $89.99 per year. For those who prefer an ad-free experience, the premium plan, now $13.99 per month ($139.99 per year), includes Showtime, access to local CBS station, and more.",
