“Not published” means we did not find a renewal price stated by the vendor on the date we checked. It is not a claim that the price changes on renewal, and it is not a claim that it doesn’t.
The cheapest published year on the streaming ledger, at $79.99 — or $7.99 a month, which is $95.88 over twelve months, so prepaying saves $15.89.
Two qualifications, both from Peacock’s own help page. The first is that this tier is described there as one “that is being tested”, so it may not be offered to everyone, and a price you cannot be sold is not really a price. The second is what it leaves out: Select excludes Peacock’s films, its originals and its live sport, which is most of the reason people subscribe to Peacock.
It is on the ledger because it is published, dated and cheap, and because a $79.99 year is a useful floor to measure the rest of this category against. It is not on the ledger as a recommendation. This desk does not make those.
