The Roku Channel has been growing a lot lately, constantly adding more channels to the collection. Discovery+ isn't the first premium service to get added to The Roku Channel, but it is the first platform to feature an ad-supported tier.

Discovery+ features two tiers; the ad-supported tier costs $4.99/month, while the ad-free plan is $6.99/month. Obviously, neither of them is super expensive, but it's still nice to have the option to pay less in exchange for some ads here and there. You get a lot of content for these subscription prices, so getting Discovery+ makes sense for The Roku Channel users.

Through The Roku Channel, Discovery+ increases its visibility among a user base that counts some 80 million people who are already enjoying lots of content, including Roku originals. According to Warner Bros. Discovery's quarterly report, Discovery+ has 24 million subscribers as of the end of the first quarter of 2022.
