How to Save on Rising Streaming TV Prices

The start of a new year often brings with it some unwelcome news for streaming TV subscribers: price increases. Gone are the days when streaming services were seen as a budget-friendly alternative to cable. Now, many popular platforms are following suit and upping their monthly fees.

Streaming giants like Netflix, Disney+, and Hulu have all announced price hikes recently. These increases can range from a few dollars to several dollars more per month, depending on the service and the level of subscription you have.

For example, Netflix’s standard plan, which allows for two simultaneous streams and access to HD content, went up by $1 to $14 per month. Disney+ also saw a bump in price, from $6.99 to $7.99 per month. Hulu’s live TV plan increased by $10, while their ad-supported and ad-free plans remained the same price.

It’s important to stay informed about these changes so you can budget accordingly and decide which streaming services are worth the cost for you. Keep an eye on your email or notifications from your streaming providers for announcements about any upcoming price hikes. And remember, you can always reassess your subscription choices and explore new options to find the best value for your entertainment needs.
