- Disney+ and Hulu announce significant price hikes
- Disney+ monthly subscription will increase by $1, and Hulu’s ad-free plan will rise by $2
- New prices will take effect from October 8
Disney+ and Hulu are set to increase their subscription prices in the coming weeks, which means consumers will have to pay more to enjoy ad-free streaming. The price hikes were revealed recently, and they show a significant rise in the cost of both streaming platforms.
Starting from October 8, Disney+ will raise its monthly subscription by $1, which means it will now cost $7.99 per month or $79.99 per year. This increase comes as the streaming service continues to expand its content library, offering more choices for subscribers.
On the other hand, Hulu’s ad-free plan will witness a steeper increase of $2, bringing its monthly cost to $12.99. This change is due to “increased investment in fresh content and product features,” according to the streaming service. However, the Hulu ad-supported plan remains unchanged at $5.99 per month.
It is important for users to note that the new prices will only affect those who sign up after October 8. Existing subscribers will be charged the increased prices once their current billing cycle ends. With the ever-growing competition in the streaming world, it remains to be seen how these changes will impact consumer behavior and loyalty towards these platforms.
