Huly and Disney+ price hikes: How the new prices compare to Netflix, Apple TV, HBO Max
Gas, groceries, smartphones, and your favorite streaming platform.
The cost of all those things just continues to go up.
The latest streamer to roll out a price hike? Disney+ and Hulu.
Just one year after Disney last raised the price of Disney+ and Hulu monthly subscriptions, they're doing it again.
Disney+ and Hulu will now cost $21.49 each per month for the ad-free tier and $12.49 per month for the tier with ads.
That's an increase of $2.50 and 50 cents per month, respectively.
The Disney+/Hulu bundle subscription continues to be a bargain when compared to the individual service subscriptions, but even those bundled plans are going up in price, too.
The ad-free Disney+/Hulu bundle will now cost $21.99 per month, and the ad-supported bundle will cost $12.99.
That's a bump of $2 per month and 50 cents per month, respectively.
How Disney+ and Hulu pricing compares to other streaming platforms Virtually all streamers have raised prices in the last 12 months, but gas and groceries are necessities in a way that streaming platforms are not. (Well, maybe that's not the case for some binge watchers.) So, if one could only afford one or two streaming services per month, they may be wondering how they rank when it comes to affordability.
Netflix last raised its prices in March.
Like Disney, Netflix also bumped the cost of its monthly subscription plans by $1 to $2.
The price for a standard ad-free Netflix subscription is now $19.99 per month and $8.99 per month for the ad-supported plan.
Netflix also offers a Premium subscription, which includes 4K and additional simultaneous viewing devices, for $26.99 per month.
