    Netflix Raises Prices Across All Plans, Premium Now Costs $27/Month
    -------------------------------------------------------------------
    Netflix is increasing its prices, with all plans set to get $1 to $2
    more expensive. The ad-supported plan is now $8.99 per month, up
    from $7.99/month, while the Standard plan is $19.99 per month, up
    from $17.99 per month. Netflix's most expensive Premium plan is
    $26.99 per month, up from $24.99 per month. Extra member add-on
    pricing is also increasing by $1.

    Prices are increasing for both new and existing Netflix subscribers
    as of March 26. New members will see the higher prices today, with
    the pricing rolling out to existing subscribers in the coming weeks.
    Subscribers will be alerted a month before the new prices are applied
    to them.

    In a statement to Variety, Netflix said that it is updating its
    pricing because it delivers more value to customers.

    Our approach remains the same: We continue offering a range of prices
    and plans to meet a variety of needs, and as we deliver more value to
    our members we are updating our prices to enable us to reinvest in
    quality entertainment and improve their experience by updating our
    prices.

    At $27 per month, Netflix Premium is the most expensive standalone
    streaming service subscription option. The standard Netflix plan now
    costs the same $20/month that Netflix used to charge for the Premium
    plan back in 2023.

    There have been no changes to the plans with the exception of the
    price increase. The Standard with ads plans continues to have ads and
    some locked titles, with 1080p content able to be watched on two
    devices at a time.

    The Standard plan is ad-free, and it also supports watching on two
    devices in 1080p. The Premium plan provides 4K HDR streaming on up to
    four devices, along with spatial audio.

    Yeah, f**k these guys!

    So glad I dropped them! (Though I am toying with the idea of getting
    them for exactly 1 month this summer...)
