Netflix is raising prices again by $1 to $2 for every plan
Netflix is becoming one of the more expensive streaming services on the market. On Friday, the basic plan in the US jumped from $9 to $10, the standard plan to $15.49, up from $13.99, and the premium plan to $20 -- a $2 increase. Netflix said it's making the change so that it can continue offering more entertainment options.
New customers will see these price increases immediately, and they'll make their way to existing customers "over the coming weeks," Netflix said. Current customers will get an email notification 30 days before their prices change, according to Netflix's Plans and Pricing page.
The increases place Netflix squarely in a battle with HBO Max for the title of the highest-priced streaming service. Both Netflix and HBO Max offer a $10 basic tier that comes with more limited service. Netflix's basic service only allows one stream at a time, and though it is ad-free, it lacks the ability to stream in high definition. Meanwhile, HBO's entry-level service does come with HD, but includes ads. It also lacks the ability to access the first-run movies that appear in theaters and simultaneously on the streaming service

(19,061 posts)I have been a Netflix customer for 7 years now. The quality Documentaries, series, and movies I watch are excellent. I watch a lot of Historical /Fantasy dramas for Costume research because of what I do for a living. It comes out of my Business account as an expense. I will also note the price increase in my Bank statement. I watch more movies on Netflix than I do by watching a DVD or Blu-ray.
The Witcher
Peaky Blinders
The Power of The Dog
The Borgias
Shadow& Bone
The Cook of Castemar
Versailles
And so much more. I also have Disney+. That will be going up as well.
