Netflix revolutionized the industry of movies and shows with its subscription-based streaming service. The company gave the starting step to popularize this segment, and now there are dozens and dozens of distinct subscription-based streaming platforms. Inorder to better understand its users, Netflix is offering Netflix free plan for Android users.
These companies are continuously fighting for the user’s preference. They fight to offer exclusive movie franchises, exclusive shows, and of course, more appealing prices than the competition. Today, Netflix is disclosing a new free plan for Android and it comes as a big surprise. As a result, we’re here wondering, what is the catch?
Netflix Free Plan For Android Users
The free plan has already begun rolling out in Kenya and should be available to more users over the next few weeks, however, there is no news of if and when it will be available in other countries. Users will be needing to register to enjoy the free Netflix plan but they won’t be required to make payment. As a strategy to gain more users, Netflix hopes that users will eventually pay for a subscription.
According to official reports, it’s an Ad-free Android exclusive plan that does not require any payment information from users when signing up. Those interested just need to sign up with a valid e-mail and confirm they are above 18 years of age. Unfortunately, there is still a catch in this promising plan. The available catalog is cut down to 25 percent of all movies and shows found in the platform’s paid tier.
Furthermore, users on the new Android free plan won’t be able to cast content to TVs and other devices. Moreover, the app does not provide the option to download titles on devices for offline viewing. Anyway, other key Netflix features are still available. That includes personalized recommendations, multiple profiles, ad-free playback, and parental controls.

According to Netflix, the plan is a degustation for users in the country. The company wants to test how many free users will eventually switch over to the paid service. For now, there is no confirmation if the free plan will reach other regions. But we don’t think that will be the case for some countries where the current plans are well established. That would be a big surprise, and of course, a step forward against other competitors such as Amazon Prime, Disney+, and HBO Max.
Netflix To Enter The World Of Cloud Gaming
The giant of streaming is continuously testing new things, features, and areas of interest. Recently, the company revealed that it will soon enter the world of cloud gaming. It has launched on Android its first take on gaming, but it uses the app as a mirror and the subscription as a pass for downloading paid games from Play Store. Unsurprisingly, the first games available through the platform are the Stranger Things games.
Despite this humble beginning, we believe that the company will be able to offer AAA games in the upcoming years, and of course, a real “cloud-gaming” platform.

You are right, Andrew. The free access for Android users is a good move from Netflix, though the move is limited to one region which is Kenya for now, time will tell when it will be extended to other countries
This is good news, this means I can now enjoy watching more movies from Netflix for free but it seems most movies will not be available on the free Netflix plan for Android but nonetheless, this is good news and thanks for sharing
Yes, depends on your region because as the news said, Kenyans are to enjoy this free plan but i believe it will be extended to other region soon
Good news indend. I have been waiting for the day Netflix will be officially free and I dont mind the free plan is only useable on Android platform. Hopefully it will extend from Kenya to other countries
The free Netflix plan for Android is a good move to gain more viewers and possible subscribers to the Netflix streaming service and another way to enable more people view contents on Netflix
