What's the difference between price increases and ad plans?

Price hikes and ad-supported plans are different sides of the same coin: both are ways for streamers to increase profits. If a streamer wants to avoid the dreaded "price hike" accusation, then it will remove certain features, one of them being ad-free viewing. Amazon Prime, for example, can offer the same price it's had for years because it now includes ads. More recently, AMC+ got to lower its steep price by introducing ads, while Netflix got rid of its famous Basic plan to further push its ad-supported plan as the cheapest one you can get on the platform. Basically, more ad revenue = more costs saved for the streamers.

Why do streaming services increase their prices?

Between rising production costs, dwindling subscriber growth, and labor strikes, streaming services are having to shell out way more money than they used to. It was easy to sell low at first when the competition wasn't as cutthroat and the market was not as saturated. But now that everyone is on board the cord-cutting ship, prices are going back up to the way they were.

Which streaming service has increased its price the most?

That honor goes to Netflix, which has consistently been upping its price since 2019. It's followed closely by Sling TV, Disney+, and Hulu, despite all three of these services offering some pretty affordable bundles.

Which streaming service has never increased its prices?

Amazon Prime has never increased its price since it introduced Prime Video as a standalone service in 2016. Perhaps in an attempt to retain that reputation, it now has ads but gives viewers the option to remove them for an extra $2.99/month.

When will Netflix increase its price next?

Historically, Netflix has introduced a price change every 1 to 2 years. Since the platform dramatically raised its prices early last year, Netflix will likely increase its price again later this year or early next year.
