Disney+ and Hulu Raise Prices for a Second Time

As streaming giants aim to maximize profits, is the cost to watch your favourite shows becoming too steep?

The streaming wars have just heated up as Disney+ and Hulu have increased their prices by up to 13%.


Starting this month, the respective ad-free plans for both services, which now include 4K and HDR, will cost £21.50 per month. The ad-supported plans will go up to £12.50 from £12.


Bundle deals, which typically include ESPN, have also seen price hikes. The Disney+ and Hulu bundle without ads will now cost £22, while the bundle with ads remains at £22 despite the hike in other bundles that include ESPN and Disney+.


Hulu's live TV option, which adds cable channels to its streaming service, has also seen a price increase of £10, bringing it to £30 per month.


Netflix, by comparison, starts at £20 for its most basic ad-free plan, and you can get 4K for £27. This means that unless you want the premium features, Disney+ and Hulu are now more expensive.
