FAQs

Q1. How long is the free trial for Disney+ on Android Canada?

Disney Plus used to offer a free 7-day trial of the platform to new users. However, they stopped the free trial earlier this year after surpassing their subscriber goals. Currently, there is no free trial of the platform available in any market.

If you’re unsure about signing up for an annual package, take a month and give Disney Plus to see if it’s the right streaming service for you and your family. You can always upgrade to an annual package at the end of the month if you like it.

Q2. Is Disney+ on Android better than Netflix?

Netflix is a global streaming giant and household brand. However, it doesn’t offer the same variety of content in Canada as it does in the United States. As a result, you get a limited offering of content on Netflix Canada, making it less impressive than the US version.

Disney Plus might have a slender content library compared to Netflix, but it’s growing every day. As you expect Disney Plus to surpass Amazon and other streaming platforms to settle as the number-two contender under Netflix. Eventually, you see Disney Plus becoming a very strong streaming provider in the market.

A Netflix subscription costs you C$9.99 per month. However, with the basic package, you can only stream one movie or show at a time, and only in SD resolution. The standard package costs you C$14.99, with two streams, and you get HD resolution. The four-user Ultra HD Premium package is CAN$18.99.

Compare that top Disney Plus subscription at CAN$9 per month, or take an annual subscription for $90 with an upfront payment, saving you 10%.

Q3. Can you share your Disney Plus account?

Technically you should not be sharing your Disney Plus account outside of your own household. One Disney Plus account can be used simultaneously for 4 streams with up to 7 user profiles. Disney and all of the other streaming companies are well aware that accounts do get shared outside of the household with extended family and friends.

Q4. What’s included in Disney plus Canada?

Q6. What version of Android is needed for Disney Plus?

Your device needs to be running on Android 5.0 or above versions to stream Disney Plus. If your Android device uses an OS that is lower than 5.0, you won’t be able to use the streaming platform on your device.
