Hulu to Launch on Disney+ in Canada as Streaming Service Raises Prices
Exciting news for Disney+ fans in Canada! The streaming service is gearing up to increase the monthly cost of its commercial-free streaming packages by up to $3 starting in November. If you’re currently subscribed to the standard high-definition plan, get ready for a $3 bump to $15.99 per month. Meanwhile, the premium 4K package will see a smaller increase of $1, bringing it to $16.99 per month. Don’t worry, though, the price for the standard subscription with ad breaks will remain at $8.99 a month.
This price adjustment comes as Disney+ joins the trend of many streaming companies nudging viewers towards their more cost-effective ad-supported options, which help generate additional revenue from commercial spots. While it’s not the first time that Disney+ has increased prices in Canada, it aligns with similar moves made by other streaming platforms this year, including Netflix and Apple TV Plus.
In addition to the price adjustment, Disney+ will also be bidding farewell to its Star branding and welcoming Hulu in all international markets, Canada included. This change won’t impact the programming selection, but it is Disney’s way of better aligning Disney+ Canada with its U.S. and global counterparts.
It’s important to stay informed about these changes to ensure that your streaming experience meets your needs and budget. Keep an eye out for more updates as Disney+ continues to evolve and adapt to the ever-changing world of streaming entertainment.
