It’s getting quite pricey to observe your favorite shows without interruption.
Starting Oct. 12, Hulu will increase its ad-free subscription from $14.99 to $17.99 monthly.
Disney+ may even see a jump from $10.99 to $13.99 for its monthly ad-free plan.
And before you and your close circle determine to chip in for a shared account, it’s best to know that Disney CEO Bob Iger also announced Wednesday that the corporate is “actively exploring ways to handle account sharing and the most effective options for paying subscribers to share their accounts with friends and families.”
In other words: a crackdown on password sharing, perhaps much like what Netflix introduced in May, is coming to Hulu.
What’s more, the corporate introduced a recent ad-free Disney+ and Hulu bundle — without ESPN+ — called “Duo Premium,” available Sept. 6 for a monthly fee of $19.99.
If commercials don’t trouble you, and also you pay $7.99 a month for standalone Hulu or Disney+, your bills shouldn’t change.
Neither will the corporate’s “Duo” Hulu and Disney+ plan with ads. That may even remain unchanged at $9.99 monthly.
Disney+ launched in November 2019 for just $7 a month for ad-free content.
The Walt Disney Company streaming services’ price hikes come as Netflix’s standard plan totals $16 — unless you should add an additional member outside of the household. That’ll cost one other $8.
Max’s monthly ad-free plan is $15.99, while Peacock subscriptions range from $6 to $12.
