After the trial
The current direct offer lists the basic Crime Central plan at $5.99 per month or $59.99 per year and the bundle with Lifetime Movie Club and History Vault at $9.99 per month, plus applicable tax. The selected monthly or annual plan automatically renews for the same billing period at the then-current rate unless canceled before the trial ends. Partner-platform prices and billing rules can differ, so use the price displayed where you subscribe.
Eligibility
The seven-day trial is for first-time A&E Crime Central subscribers and is not available with promotional discounts or gift codes. A valid payment method is required: the direct website accepts credit card or PayPal, while supported app stores may allow their own payment methods or sufficient store credit. The trial day begins at signup and each day ends 24 hours later. Crime Central is a separate true-crime subscription; it does not act as a TV provider or unlock the full A&E app or current A&E channel premieres.
