You now have to dig deeper into your pockets for Netflix’s streaming offer. However, not all subscriptions experience a price increase.
Netflix has been cracking down on sharing passwords across a household since last year, while also introducing a cheaper subscription with ads. Users remained loyal to the service: Netflix reported increasing customer numbers after the action against account free riders began. This also gives the streaming market leader the confidence to increase prices.
In recent months, subscriptions have gradually become more expensive in various countries. In the home market of the USA, the premium subscription now costs $22.99. Netflix points out, among other things, that an attractive range of programs requires high investments.
For the “Basic” subscription, which was already only available to existing customers but could no longer be rebooked, you now have to pay 9.99 euros instead of the previous 7.99 euros. The website “Moviepilot” first reported on the price increase.
