Netflix Raises Prices Across All Plans, Premium Now Costs $27/Month

[MacRumors]

Netflix is increasing its prices, with all plans set to get $1 to $2 more expensive. The ad-supported plan is now $8.99 per month, up from $7.99/month, while the Standard plan is $19.99 per month, up from $17.99 per month. Netflix's most expensive Premium plan is $26.99 per month, up from $24.99 per month. Extra member add-on pricing is also increasing by $1.

Prices are increasing for both new and existing Netflix subscribers as of March 26. New members will see the higher prices today, with the pricing rolling out to existing subscribers in the coming weeks. Subscribers will be alerted a month before the new prices are applied to them.

In a statement to Variety, Netflix said that it is updating its pricing because it delivers more value to customers.

Our approach remains the same: We continue offering a range of prices and plans to meet a variety of needs, and as we deliver more value to our members we are updating our prices to enable us to reinvest in quality entertainment and improve their experience by updating our prices.

At $27 per month, Netflix Premium is the most expensive standalone streaming service subscription option. The standard Netflix plan now costs the same $20/month that Netflix used to charge for the Premium plan back in 2023.

There have been no changes to the plans with the exception of the price increase. The Standard with ads plans continues to have ads and some locked titles, with 1080p content able to be watched on two devices at a time.

The Standard plan is ad-free, and it also supports watching on two devices in 1080p. The Premium plan provides 4K HDR streaming on up to four devices, along with spatial audio.

Good luck.

Never been more glad to have T-Mobile.

These people are insane. Netflix isn’t worth $10 a month with the “shovelware” content they throw on there. I have it free with my phone plan and I still almost never use it.

 

[ShivneelSingh]

Is it worth it?
I feel like HBO Max has better movies.

 

[awshucks]

I am more of a YouTube person. Good thing I am not interested in any streaming services!

 

[iMac The Knife]

I only sign up for a month every now and then to binge watch a show or two. But, too many of these streaming companies are raising their prices far to often anymore.

 

[jbachandouris]

My son who no longer lives with me is now on his mother’s account. Might be time to cancel.

 

[jonnyb098]

Aaaaaand we are basically back to cable. All these services add up to like $80/month. Youtube TV is $83.

Hahahaha it feels like I read this exact story just months ago. It's like Ted Sarandos keeps pressing SEND SEND SEND for the same email every time he wants a new yacht.

Remember when Netflix was $7.99, in full quality, no ads and sharable? The *************** continues.

 

[DJTaurus]

Netflix aka the 6/10 average IMDb content 😛

Never been more glad to have T-Mobile.

LOL whats funny is i also get it free.. And dont ever watch Netflix.. I am just glad i aint paying for a service i dont use.

The reality is that this will never end. The ad-tier + password crackdown helped with large growth and with that tapering off, the only way to keep it going is price hikes.

The best way to deal with this is still streaming switching. Subscribe to one or two each month, binge watch your list, cancel and move on to others for the next month.

I remember when it was $7.99 for streaming (no ads) and by mail.

 

[ghostface147]

I watch WWE, so I don’t have a choice but to subscribe.

 

[Artemiz]

They basically got everyone hooked on Netflix and now keep raising prices every year. No more than a dozen decent movies and a couple shows.

The corporate greed knows no bounds.

YouTube Premium forever!!

Netflix spent 5+ BILLION on a 10 year deal with the WWE for wrestling. I unsubscribed that day and haven't been back. At $27 a month, you could buy 185,185,185 months of subscriptions for your customers for that price. 185 million months people, that's over 15 million years of free subscriptions. If Netflix wants to keep subscribers, start making better business decisions.

 

[GizmoDVD]

Hahahaha.

Gosh, people are going to love paying more for this.

 

[ZipZilla]

I cancelled after the last increase. Haven't missed it.

 

[neliason]

I don’t understand how people keep a year round subscription to Netflix. The content is limited and most of it is unwatchable garbage. I’ll subscribe for a month and run out of things to watch in two weeks. All the services are like that.

 

[Slo Pesci]

Alldebrid + Infuse.

Netflix who? 😂

 

[HeroOfTime32]

I finally cancelled beginning of the year. Can't believe I never did earlier. Gladly keeping $240/yr in my pocket.

 

[Corefile]

Cancelled it years ago when they started taking the Michael.

 

[sw1tcher]

Called it and right on schedule.

What I'm wondering now is will Netflix stick to their price increase schedule or will it change? If they stick to their schedule, then the next price increase annoucement will be in Oct. 2026. But with Netflix's announcement last April that they're going to stop reporting subcriber numbers in 2025 to focus on revenue growth numbers, I'm thinking we'll see a price increase sooner, maybe in June or July 2026 instead.

Price increase came earlier than I expected.
