Disney+ today got its fourth price increase in four years. Hulu prices also went up.
Disney+ and Hulu’s respective standalone ad-free plans (which also support 4K and HDR) are each increasing 13 percent, from $19 per month to $21.50/month.
Disney+ and Hulu’s respective standalone plans with ads increased from $12 to $12.50.
The Walt Disney Company also increased prices for streaming service packages, including those with ESPN.
The price of the ad-free Disney+ and Hulu bundle increased from $20/month to $22/month. The Disney+ and Hulu bundle with ads ($13) didn’t get more expensive.
However, prices increased for Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN Select bundles with ads (from $20 to $22) and without ads (from $29 to $33).
Monthly subscription prices for Hulu + Live, which adds Internet-delivered cable channels to Hulu’s on-demand options, rose $10.
For comparison, Netflix is currently $9 a month with ads and starts at $20 a month without ads. There’s also an ad-free plan for $27 a month for premium features like 4K. That means Disney+ and Hulu are more expensive than the currently most popular streaming service, unless you want 4K or HDR.
