Roku offers users various channels and services to stream and watch their favorite content. Some of these channels require a paid subscription to access their content, and it can be easy to forget which subscriptions you have subscribed to. Managing Roku subscriptions is an important step in tracking spending and ensuring that you only pay for the services you use.

This guide will walk you through managing your Roku subscriptions, including viewing active subscriptions and canceling unnecessary subscriptions, using Roku Remote or the browser on any device. With these tips, you can streamline your Roku subscriptions and avoid unnecessary spending on your bill.

Does Roku require a subscription?

The Roku does not require a subscription, and there is no monthly fee.

Once you purchase the Roku device, you can access various free channels, such as YouTube, PBS, and the Roku Channel, at no additional cost.

However, some channels on the Roku platform require a subscription to access their content. Examples of these channels include Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime Video, HBO Max, and Disney Plus. To access the content of these channels, a separate subscription is required.

In addition to subscription services, the Roku platform has free and paid channels that offer premium content, such as sports events, live news, and movies. For example, you can access sports content on channels such as ESPN, NBA, and NHL or live news on channels such as ABC News Live and Reuters TV.

At the same time, it should not be confused with the Roku Smart Home Subscription. The Roku Smart Home Subscription is a service that allows you to monitor and control your smart home devices via your Roku TV or streaming device. That is, it has nothing to do with channel subscriptions. A Roku Smart Home subscription lets you use your Roku remote or voice commands to control compatible smart home devices such as lights, thermostats, and locks. You can also receive alerts and notifications to your Roku device when smart home devices, such as motion sensors or doorbells, are triggered.

How do I see all my Roku subscriptions?

Go to your ROKU account at roku.com. In the Account Management section, click or tap on “Manage Your Subscriptions“. Once the “My Subscriptions” page loads, you’ll see all your Roku Pay subscriptions. You’ll also see your due dates and renewal dates, grouped under Current Subscriptions and Past Subscriptions. You can manage your subscriptions. Below I’ll tell you how to do this step by step.
