Disney has announced a series of price hikes for its various streaming services, with almost every offering and bundle being affected.

The price changes take effect Oct. 17, 2024, according to the announcement.

• Disney+ with advertising jumps $2 per month from $7.99 to $9.99 a month
• Disney+ ad-free sees the same increase, from $13.99 to $15.99
• The “Duo Basic” with ads that combines Disney+ with Hulu is increasing by $1 to $10.99
• “Duo Advanced,” which removes ads, remains the same at $19.99
• Hulu with ads also goes up $2 from $7.99 to $9.99
• Hulu ad-free will only increase $1 to $18.99

The Hulu + Live TV pricing is particularly interesting.

YouTube TV costs $72.99 per month at normal price. You could buy that plus ad-free Hulu for $91.98 and save a few bucks. YouTube TV and Hulu’s Live TV offering do offer a slightly different channel collection, though YouTube tends to have at least five or so more depending on market.
