Hulu is Increasing its On Demand Plans by This Much on October 8th

If you’re a fan of streaming platform Hulu, you may want to know that the service will be increasing by $1 in price starting next month.

Hulu is raising the price of its on-demand plans by a dollar starting on Oct. 8. The platform’s most popular ad-supported plan will cost $6.99 per month while the ad-free version will cost $12.99, the company said.

The price increase follows $1 price hikes by its sister services Disney+ and ESPN+. The changes do not apply to the Disney bundle or live TV plans and will apply to new and current subscribers.

The Disney bundle includes Disney+, ESPN+ and Hulu for $13.99 per month.

Disney said in its fiscal third-quarter 2021 earnings report it had nearly 174 million subscriptions across Disney+, ESPN+ and Hulu at the end of the quarter and said 42.8 million are paid Hulu subscribers and 39.1 million of those subscribe to its on-demand service, which doesn’t include live TV.

This year Disney had increased the cost of ESPN+ by a dollar per month to $6.99 after the service agreed to a slew of new sports rights deals. The company also increased the price of Disney+ by a dollar to $7.99 per month in March. This was the first time the company increased rates since the service’s debut.
