As a standalone service, MLB.TV would run you $149.99 per year, or $29.99 per month.

The deal follows T-Mobile's introduction in January of “Hulu on Us," which gives Go5G Next subscribers free access to Hulu’s ad-supported service. As a standalone service, Hulu's ad-supported plan costs $7.99 per month, or $79.99 per year. This is in addition to Go5G Next subscribers' free access to Netflix and Apple TV+.
Other streaming services offering deals recently include U.K.-based music video streaming app ROXi, which is planning to launch in the U.S. soon with both a free ad-supported service and a fee-based, ad-free premium version.
The app, which will offer voice-activated music videos, will be available on more than 90% of smart TVs including Samsung, LG, Vizio, Roku, Comcast, TCL, Amazon Fire TV, Google TV and Android TV.
In addition, Walmart is offering the Paramount Plus Essential Plan for free for its new or existing Walmart Plus members. As a standalone, the streaming plan costs $5.99 a month or $59.99 a year.
