If you notice your Netflix bill looking a little higher than usual, it’s not a mistake.
The streaming platform announced in a Tuesday letter to shareholders that it would introduce price increases on all of its plans in the United States, Canada, Portugal and Argentina. Price changes will go into effect on the next billing cycle, and new members will see updated prices immediately.
It has been a little over a year since Netflix adjusted any plan prices when it introduced the standard with ads plan in October 2023.
Here’s what to know about the price increase.
Netflix will be increasing the price of all three plans in 2025. The last time all three plans had a price increase was in 2022, before Netflix had introduced the standard plan with ads.
Netflix has increased prices across two or more plans in 2014, 2017, 2019, 2020, 2022, and now 2025.
One positive to look at is that the standard plan with ads costs the same that the basic plain did in 2013 when the platform first took off.
In the same vain, the price for the standard plan has increased 180%, and the premium plan has increased 208% in the same 12 year period.
*Netflix removes the basic plan and replaces it with the standard plan with ads in 2023.
