What Else Is Free Through Roku?

Roku is known for offering different kinds of free trials, so it's worth keeping an eye out for the return of special promotions we've seen in the past. For instance, in September 2023, Roku was offering a free 3-month subscription to Apple TV+ for Roku device owners. And just a couple of weeks later, new users could snag a 6-month membership to DoorDash (a DashPass) for free as long as they had a Roku account with a Roku streaming or smart home device linked to it. Be sure to watch for these kinds of promotions to return, especially around big shopping holidays.
