Netflix is raising the prices of both the Standard two-stream HD plan, its most popular package, by about 8% — going from $12.99 per month to $13.99 and the Premium tier (with four streams and including 4K Ultra HD content) is going up by $2, from $15.99 monthly to $17.99 for U.S. customers. The price of the company’s Basic plan (with a single non-HD stream) will remain at $8.99 monthly.
New U.S. subscribers who sign up for Netflix’s Standard or Premium plans as of Oct. 29 will pay the higher rates immediately.
Current subscribers will see the new pricing over the next few months, according to a company rep. Members will be notified through email and also will receive a notification within the Netflix app 30 days ahead of their price increase. The timing will be based on the specific member’s billing cycle, according to Netflix.
Netflix last raised U.S. prices starting in the first quarter of 2019, when the Standard tier jumped 18%, from $10.99 to $12.99 per month. As the price hikes went into effect through Q2 and the back half of the year, Netflix’s cancellation rates rose but its revenue growth accelerated: The company’s full-year 2019 revenue climbed 28%, to $20.2 billion, outpacing the 20% net subscriber increase.
MacDailyNews Take: Dateline 2040: Netflix plans, which start at $99.99/month…
I’m going to lower the price Netflix charges me to $0 per month. This is just the motivation I needed.
Netflix did all the work of making online streaming a reality, and now the content owners want to push them out of the way with their own knockoffs. Consequently Netflix has to produce most of their own content now, and that is expensive. Fortunately they are doing well. But we will never again have what we once did. It is sad really. The price of success is having the old players all try to crush you.
Some of this is their own fault…you realize Netflix has been indicted for child pornography because of the creepy show ‘Cuties’?
Providers need to cater to their audience, and if you piss them off, tough. I just hope Apple doesn’t make the same mistake.
Content creators at the scale of Netflix, Apple, Amazon and all of Hollywood, aren’t concerned with catering to an audience, they already have a healthy chunk of the population brainwashed through generations of mass media programming. The “fascist” holdouts who don’t want their children groomed and sexualized are being silenced, censored and crushed by corporate psychopaths. Even a fleeting glance at Apple’s programming shows that they are as maniacally PC/SJW as any media company out there. Apple TV+ is basically a Rorschach of Tim Cook’s brain.
The lower end Red Zone (in America) is Windows and Android central that also applies to the world too Apple isn’t doomed…
It’s talk like that that got Trump elected.
