Hulu announced last month that starting February 26 its new subscription prices would go into effect. This news came a week after Netflix announced it had raised prices on its three subscription plans. While Hulu has lowered its prices on its basic subscription plan by $2, bringing it down to $6, it’s also raising its prices on its Hulu Live TV plan and its Hulu No Ads Live TV plan. According to AdWeek, Hulu is making this move after finding that cutting its basic plan price helps accelerate subscriber growth.
New subscribers to Netflix will find these prices in the above chart. Netflix has become a huge production house, producing original content and reportedly spending $8 billion on its house-produced films and TV shows in 2018 alone. But its basic plan is $3 more than Hulu’s and that can make a huge difference for subscribers.
Starting today Hulu’s basic subscription plan with limited commercials drops from $8 to $6. It’s Hulu No Ads is staying at $12, meaning it will cost twice as much to get its basic plan with no ads. There’s a significant increase on its Hulu + Live TV plan which offers 2 simultaneous screens. The price for that plan is being raised from $40 to $45. And lastly, the Hulu No Ads + Live TV plan is going from $44 to $51. You can watch Hulu using a Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, Google Chromecast, XBox One or XBox 360, Playstation 3 or 4, or Wii.
With the basic Hulu plan you can watch such favorite shows as Grey’s Anatomy, Once Upon a Time, Scandal, New Girl, or How to Get Away with Murder.
