Warner Bros. Discovery on Tuesday raised the value for the ad-free subscription to its Max streaming service.
The move, which can take effect immediately for brand spanking new subscribers, hikes the monthly ad-free plan’s price by $1 to $16.99 a month.
It should also increase the annual ad-free plan price by $20 to an annual cost of $169.99.
Prices for Max’s ultimate ad-free tier, which incorporates features similar to the power to have 4 streams running at the identical time and 4K streaming options, will increase by $1 to $20.99 a month.
Current monthly subscribers will receive a notice informing them concerning the price changes 30 days before their plan renews, with changes reflected after their July billing cycle, while users with annual subscriptions won’t see a change until their renewal date.
The worth for the Max plan that features ads stays unchanged at $9.99 per thirty days.
