HBO Max Price to Increase Again

ually the third one implemented by the service within the last three years. The increases will be applied to their HBO Max Basic With Ads, HBO Max Standard, and HBO Max Premium plans.

Here’s a breakdown of the price increases:

– HBO Max Basic With Ads (stream on two devices simultaneously): Monthly +$1/month increase, now $10.99; Annually +$10/year increase, now $109.99
– HBO Max Standard (no ads, stream on two devices simultaneously): Monthly +$1.50/month increase, now $18.49; Annual +$15/year increase, now $184.99
– HBO Max Premium (no ads, 4K content, stream on four devices simultaneously): Monthly +$2/month increase, now $22.99; Annual +$20/year increase, now $229.99

For subscribers or potential customers concerned about the timing of the price increase, new subscriptions are already subject to the new prices. Existing customers will receive notifications 30 days in advance of their plan renewals, with the increases taking effect on their next billing date on or after November 20, 2025. Yearly subscribers will receive notifications 30 days before their accounts are renewed.

The announcement of the HBO Max price increase coincides with price hikes for Disney Plus, Hulu, and the Disney Plus and Hulu bundles. This has led to some backlash from consumers who have been experiencing a series of price increases in recent years. With streaming still being a relatively new form of viewership and competition among platforms intensifying, many services are looking to boost their profits with price increases.
