The subscription also allows two supporting devices, Full HD, downloads on two devices at the same time, and the option to add an additional member who lives in another household – but this also costs 4.99 euros on top.
The most expensive model is the premium subscription at 19.99 euros instead of the previous 17.99 euros.

No sharing passwords and price increases
Netflix has been cracking down on sharing passwords between users from different households since last year. At the same time, the streaming service introduced a cheaper subscription with advertisements. In recent months, price increases have been gradually introduced in other countries. In the USA, a premium subscription now costs 22.99 US dollars (around 22 euros).
