Philo price (October 2026) and how to cancel
In the US (as of 2026-10-18), Philo's Help packages page and subscribe page list Essential at $25/month (7-day free trial for new customers) and Bundle+ at $33/month (includes AMC+ plus access to HBO Max Basic with Ads and discovery+; no free trial on Bundle+). Cancel anytime in your Philo account settings, or in the third-party store if that platform bills you. Free Channels remain available without a paid plan.
Philo says there is no contract. Uninstalling the app does not cancel.
Essential is the cheaper live-TV base; Bundle+ is only worth it if you will actually open the included apps.
