In bad news for video streamers, the price for Disney+ and Hulu is will increase on October 17 for US customers.
As PC Mag reports, Disney buried the news in a press release about continuous playlists, arguing that the feature makes Disney+ “among the best values in streaming today.”
Subscribers may disagree, as the price hikes will also hit ESPN+ and the Hulu + Live TV plan. Here’s the breakdown:
Disney+
- Ad-supported Disney+ Basic is increasing from $7.99 to $9.99 per month.
- Ad-free Disney+ Premium is going up from $13.99 to $15.99 per month.
- Annual ad-free Disney+ Premium is also jumping from $139.99 to $159.99.
- The Disney Bundle Duo Basic, which includes ad-supported Disney+ and Hulu, goes from $9.99 to $10.99 per month.
Hulu
- Hulu’s ad-supported plan is rising from $7.99 to $9.99 per month.
- Annual fee for ad-supported Hulu jumps from $79.99 to $99.99.
- Ad-free Hulu is increasing from $17.99 to $18.99 per month.
- Hulu + Live TV (with ads) is rising from $76.99 to $82.99 per month.
- Ad-free Hulu + Live TV will go from $89.99 to $95.99 per month.
ESPN+
- ESPN+ is going from $10.99 to $11.99 per month.

It appears the only plan not getting an increase is the ad-free Disney Bundle Duo Premium, which will remain at $19.99 per month.
