How much does Netflix cost?
How much does Netflix cost? Netflix offers three plans: Netflix Basic for $9.99 per month; Netflix Standard for $15.49 per month; and Netflix Premium for $19.99 per month. All three plans allow users to watch unlimited movies and TV shows, as well as stream on laptops, smart TVs, phones or tablets.
Netflix Basic allows users to watch Netflix on one screen at a time and download TV shows and movies for offline viewing on one phone or tablet. Netflix Standard allows users to watch Netflix on two screens at a time, download TV shows and movies for offline viewing on two phones or tablets, and stream Netflix in HD. Netflix Standard allows users to watch Netflix on four screens at a time, download TV shows and movies for offline viewing on four phones or tablets, and stream Netflix on Ultra HD.
Netflix also offers two DVD plans: a Standard plan for $9.99 per month and a Premier plan for $14.99 per month. Both plans allow users to rent unlimited discs per month, have no late fees, offer free shipping and returns, and let subscribers cancel at anytime. The Standard plan allows users to check out one disc at a time, while the Premier plan allows users to check out two discs at a time.
Netflix Chief Executive Officer Reed Hastings also announced in April 2022 that Netflix will add a more affordable, ad-supported plan “over the next year or two.” “Those who have followed Netflix know that I have been against the complexity of advertising, and a big fan of the simplicity of subscription,” he said. “But as much as I am a fan of that, I am a bigger fan of consumer choice. And allowing consumers who would like to have a lower price, and are advertising-tolerant, get what they want, makes a lot of sense.” He added, “It is pretty clear that it is working for Hulu, Disney is doing it, HBO did it. We don’t have any doubt that it works.
Does Netflix have a free trial?
