Co-subscriptions are easy to understand, but it's a good idea to check how they work before you get started. Here are the answers to the most frequently asked questions.
Sharesub offers cost-sharing for all subscriptions that include a group plan. However, be sure to review the terms and conditions for sharing services, and avoid subscriptions from other countries: this may limit the available content or even block access to the account.
Your peer-to-peer transactions are processed in accordance with European regulations (PSD2): the identities of the organizers are verified, and payments are held for one month to allow for any refunds.
Members are free to leave at any time, but will not receive a refund for the current month. This allows the organizer to retain a higher participation fee, and the available spots will be moved to the top of the list to fill the group quickly.
No, most of the time, services are shared via an invitation link or an email invitation. You then join the group using your own username and password to ensure the confidentiality of your data. In the few cases where this is necessary, a secure manager is made available to you. You may also sometimes use a dedicated profile, protected by a PIN.
The right streaming subscription depends on the catalogue, the number of simultaneous streams and whether you accept ads. The comparison below covers the closest ad-supported plans in the UK, all limited to 2 streams at once, with a cost per person based on 2 places.
Practical guides, comparisons and tips to cut the cost of your video subscriptions for good.
In United Kingdom, HBO Max Premium costs £14.99 / month and allows 4 simultaneous streams. Split between 4 people, that comes down to £3.75 each. On Sharesub, a place costs £5.04 / month, fees included.
Shared offer on Sharesub, for up to 4 members. The best cost per place when the group is full.
One place in a HBO group, all fees included, no commitment.
HBO launched in the UK and Ireland on 26 March 2026 with four plans. The two ad-supported tiers are the cheapest: Basic with Ads has no offline downloads, while the ad-supported Standard plan adds 30 downloads a month. Both allow 2 streams at once, which suits two people well. Standard and Premium remove the ads, and Premium adds 4K, Dolby Atmos and 4 streams.
Until March 2026, the only way to stream HBO series in the UK was a NOW Entertainment membership at £9.99 a month. Since 26 March 2026, HBO Max has been available directly: Basic with Ads at £4.99, the ad-supported Standard plan at £5.99, Standard at £9.99 and Premium at £14.99. There has been no price rise since launch, so HBO Max Premium still costs £14.99 / month, or £3.75 each when it is split between 4 people. NOW Entertainment now includes HBO Max at no extra cost, but the direct ad-supported plan remains the cheaper route.
Going direct is already cheaper than a NOW Entertainment membership, and sharing brings the cost down to £3.75 per person when both 4 places are used.
Prices vary from one country to another: broadcasting rights, taxes and local price levels all differ. Here are the prices nearby, for comparison.
HBO deals are occasional: a discounted annual plan, a launch offer through a broadband provider, or months included with a NOW membership. There is no free trial. Sharing a subscription brings a recurring saving instead: the price is lower every month, not only during a promotion. On Sharesub, a place in HBO Max Premium costs £5.04 / month, fees included, around 66% less than the full subscription.
The most reliable option is the ad-supported plan, HBO Max Premium, with its cost split between the people who actually use it. On Sharesub, a place costs £5.04 / month, fees included, instead of £14.99 for the full subscription. Paying annually is the other lever: it works out at roughly two months free over the year.
In United Kingdom, HBO Max Premium costs £14.99 / month for 4 simultaneous streams. Split between 4 people, that is £3.75 per person / month. On Sharesub, free places in a group are promoted so that it fills up quickly.
A place costs £5.04 / month, fees included. You save around 66% compared with the price of the full offer. Payment is monthly with no commitment: you can leave the group at any time, and the current month remains due.
Every member keeps their own HBO profile, with their own watchlist, viewing history and recommendations, so nobody's Continue watching gets mixed up. On the Sharesub side, everyone manages their own place from their own account, from the monthly payment to the receipts.
You pick a group that has a free place and book it at the price shown, £5.04 / month, fees included. The organiser then adds you from the subscription management page, and you watch HBO under your own profile as soon as the payment is confirmed.
There is no free trial in the UK. A monthly subscription can be cancelled at any time from the subscription section of your account, at no cost: access stays open until the end of the period already paid for. Sharing works the same way on Sharesub: no fixed term, and only the current month remains due.
Not in the standard plans. In the UK, TNT Sports is sold as a separate add-on through HBO Max, with its own monthly price, and bundles combining the two appear on Sharesub under their own name and their own price per place.
Sharesub adds a service fee to the price paid by members. It is already included in the price shown for a place (£5.04 / month). Payments are processed by Stripe, a licensed payment provider. As a financial service, Sharesub can verify organisers' identity and hold funds for the relevant period, so that a refund is possible if the month is not used.
