Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN+ will raise their prices once again starting October 17

[Karlston]

Get ready for even more price increases for major streaming services. Today, Disney announced it will increase the individual prices for its Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN+ services on October 17. The price increase will come just one year after a similar hike in October 2023.

 

Variety has the low down on what's going up and by how much for people in the US:

 

• Disney+ Basic (With Ads): $7.99 to $9.99 a month
• Disney+ Premium (No Ads): $13.99 to $15.99 a month
• Hulu With Ads: $7.99 to $9.99 a month
• Hulu With No Ads: $17.99 to $18.99 a month
• ESPN+: $10.99 to $11.99 a month
• Disney Bundle Trio Basic (Disney+, Hulu with ads, ESPN+): $14.99 to $16.99 a month
• Disney Bundle Trio Premium (Disney+, Hulu with ads, ESPN+) $24.99 to $26.99 a month
• Hulu + Live TV (With SVOD Ads) $76.99 to $82.99 a month
• Hulu + Live TV (No SVOD Ads) $89.99 to $95.99 a month

Not everything is getting a price increase. The bundle plan with Disney+ and Hulu with ads will stay at $10.99 a month, while the Disney+ and Hulu bundle plan without ads will stay at $19.99 a month.

 

There will be a few extra features coming to Disney+ users in the near future. Starting on September 4, users will be able to access a 24/7 stream of the ABC News Live channel. They will also be able to access a preschool content playlist. Sometime later in the fall, four more playlists will be added for Disney+ Premium subscribers: Seasonal Content, Throwbacks, Real Life, and Epic Stories.

 

In late July, another bundle deal that combines Disney+ and Hulu with Warner Bros Discovery's Max service launched. It costs $16.99 a month for the ad-plans bundle and $29.99 a month for the bundle without ads. Both offer at least 35 percent off the normal cost compared to buying each service on its own.
