How much is your streaming service really worth?
With another platform price hike, we break down what subscribers actually get for their money
It’s that time again….another streaming service is raising its price.
On December 8th, Disney+ raised its price by $3.00 launching a new ad-supported tier. Viewers interested in a lower price point who don’t mind watching ads can now subscribe for $7.99 a month as opposed to the $10.99 per month ad-free tier.
The hike comes nearly one month after Netflix launched its much-discussed ad-supported option of its own and is purportedly an effort by Disney to decrease churn and increase profitability.
