U-NEXT provides services ranging from movies / dramas / anime to e-books such as manga and magazines. After watching a movie, you can easily check out the original manga or original drama, which is very convenient because you can dig deeper into your favorite works without having to go through the trouble of using different apps or services.
U-NEXT also has a 31-day free trial, let's take a look at what plans are available and how to cancel the free trial.
U-NEXT has two plans, a monthly plan and a monthly plan 1490. It's hard to tell them apart by looking at the titles. Here are the differences between these two plans in terms of prices, services, and so on.
This is an all-in-one service plan that includes unlimited viewing, unlimited magazine reading, and 1,200 points for a monthly fee of 2,189 yen (tax included).
1 point = 1 yen and can be used for various U-NEXT services.
If you do not have enough points to pay for all-you-can watch movies, you will be charged separately.
This is a service plan specially prepared for long-term customers with an annual contract and a monthly fee of 1,639 yen (tax included) that allows unlimited viewing of movies and use of the unlimited magazine reading service. No points will be awarded.
If you do not have enough points to pay for all-you-can-view movies, you will be charged separately.
Please note that a penalty fee of 5,000 yen (tax-free) will be incurred if you cancel within one year.
The service breakdown for the above two plans, Monthly Plan and Monthly Plan 1490, is as follows.

All you can watch videos for 1,089 yen
Unlimited magazine reading 550 yen
1,200 points: ¥550
Monthly Plan 1,490

If you cancel during the free trial period, you will not be charged any monthly fees.
There are no monthly charges during the free trial period, but you will be billed for paid items such as rental and purchased items. Please be aware of this.
If you sign up for a free trial, we will notify you of the last day of the free period to the email address you registered when you signed up.
After you cancel your subscription, you will no longer be able to watch the videos immediately, but if you are on a monthly plan with AppleID billing, you will be able to watch the videos until the scheduled end date.
The service will automatically continue as a paid service on the day after the last day of the free period.
