How much does a Netflix subscription cost?

How much does a Netflix subscription cost? In most cases, this is an easy answer. But when it comes to streaming apps, prices are constantly changing, especially in this case.

Though the service originated as a cheap alternative to pricey cable television bills, a Netflix subscription has seen its fair share of price increases over the last decade.

Of course, Netflix is still relatively cheap when compared with traditional cable television packages. And there are a few different Netflix plans that are designed to fit your needs.

Depending on which Netflix package, the monthly subscription cost varies. So, how much is a Netflix subscription, and what are the differences between the different tiers available?

Netflix subscription price – all the extras you should know

You can add extra member slots for a cool $7.99 each per month. Because, you know, why not make your friends and family pay for their own account when you can foot the bill?

But hold your horses! There’s a little asterisk attached to this offer. That Standard with ads plan might not be available through all third-party billing partners and packages.

So, you’ll have to do some legwork and check with your provider to confirm availability. Because who doesn’t love a good wild goose chase?

And about those extra members, they get their own account and password. But don’t worry; you’re still the one picking up the tab.

The number of extra member slots you can add? Well, that depends on your plan. Because, of course, it does.

The Basic package gets you unlimited access to TV shows and movies on one device as well as downloads on one phone or tablet.

The ad-supported tier will have the same features as the Standard package, except there will be a few minutes of ads every hour.
