Philo, like other online streaming services, automatically bills you monthly. You can cancel any time, though. This makes Philo considerably more flexible than traditional cable and satellite.

The downside, however, is if you don't know how to cancel Philo, or you forget to do so before the next billing cycle starts, you will be charged for the month. If you cancel in the middle of your billing cycle, however, you can continue watching until the cycle is done.
