Disney is once again raising prices for Disney Plus, Hulu and ESPN Plus

Disney has increased the prices of its streaming plans, just a year after their last round of price hikes. The Mouse House announced the latest cost increase for most of its streaming plans in August; that change took effect Thursday. In September, the company also introduced optional account sharing fees for Disney Plus customers who want to share streaming access with someone outside their household.

Here’s how things fall apart.

Disney Plus with ads now costs $10, up from $8 per month. The ad-free tier got an increase of $2 and now costs $16, up from $14 per month. The Duo Basic with Disney Plus and Hulu bundle costs $11 per month. ESPN Plus is getting a monthly increase from $1 to $12. The Duo Premium subscription remains the same: $20 per month. All Hulu subscriptions have increased for the on-demand and live versions of the service. Standalone Hulu has a monthly price of $10 with ads and $19 for ad-free, while the live TV platform now costs $83 per month for the basic package and $96 for the premium version. The changes are shown in the diagram below.

Over the past year, Disney has announced a selection of bundled packages to customers, which could be the solution many subscribers choose to save. For example, Disney Plus, Hulu, and Max are now packaged together in one epic mega-bundle priced at $17 per month for the ad-based version and $30 per month for the ad-free version.

Disney also unveiled several new streaming product features on September 4, including ongoing playlists on Disney Plus and access to ABC News Live. Ahead of the 2024 U.S. presidential election, all subscribers will have access to the 24/7 premium news channel for live newscasts, breaking news, live events and in-depth special reports.

Disney’s streamers are the latest to experience a price increase. Earlier this year, Peacock saw a significant cost increase, thanks to the streamer’s coverage of the 2024 Summer Olympics. Max and Paramount Plus’ ad-free plans also saw notable price increases.
