Update, October 18, 2026: discovery+, Shudder, BritBox and Pandora were added to the dataset, each read from its own page. The streaming page now lists 50 plans from 20 services; Pandora Plus ($5.99 a month) is now the lowest standard monthly price on record, and discovery+ ($6.99) the lowest among video services. The baseline figures below are from the first 10 services; every addition is in the page’s change log.
Update, September 28, 2026: Later the same day, six more services were added to the dataset: YouTube TV, Fubo and Philo (live TV), Crunchyroll, AMC+ and TIDAL. The streaming dataset now covers 43 plans from 16 services. Crunchyroll’s three plans and AMC+ Premium also have annual prices, and all four follow the rule described below, so all 15 annual prices now in the dataset equal ten monthly payments plus $0.09. The rest of this post describes the ten-service baseline.
Deldur’s second dataset tracks what streaming subscriptions cost in the United States. On September 28, 2026 the plans or help pages of ten services were read directly: Netflix, Disney+, Hulu, HBO Max, Peacock, Paramount+, Apple TV, YouTube Premium, Spotify Premium and Apple Music. The baseline has 27 plans, each with its standard monthly price, its annual price where the page shows one, and every condition the page prints about ads, trials, eligibility and households. The full tables with source links are on the streaming prices dataset page, and every later change will be logged there with the old and new figure.
Bundles: $11.99 to $26.48 a month less than buying separately
| Bundle | Bundle price | Same plans bought separately | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| Disney+, Hulu Bundle (both with ads) | $12.99/mo | $24.98/mo | $11.99/mo |
| Disney+, Hulu Bundle Premium (no ads) | $21.99/mo | $42.98/mo | $20.99/mo |
| Disney+, Hulu, HBO Max Bundle (with ads) | $21.99/mo | $35.97/mo | $13.98/mo |
| Disney+, Hulu, HBO Max Bundle (no ads) | $34.99/mo | $61.47/mo | $26.48/mo |
The bundles come with conditions printed on the same pages: the services are accessed “from each service separately”, and the HBO Max bundles are “Available only for direct-billed purchases.” Bundle prices are listed monthly only.
Every annual plan is ten monthly payments plus $0.09
Eleven plans in the dataset have both a monthly and an annual price: two from Paramount+, three each from HBO Max and Peacock, and one each from Disney+, Hulu and YouTube Premium. All eleven follow the same arithmetic. Each annual price equals ten monthly payments plus $0.09; HBO Max Premium, for example, is $22.99 a month or $229.99 a year. That makes every annual plan 16.6% cheaper than twelve monthly payments, from $17.89 a year on the $8.99 Peacock Select and Paramount+ Essential plans to $45.89 on HBO Max Premium. Peacock describes it as “12 months for The Price of 10”, and HBO Max as “16% savings”. YouTube’s $159.99 annual plan “Doesn’t automatically renew”. Netflix states that it does not offer annual plans, and Apple TV, Spotify and Apple Music showed none. The full annual table is on the dataset page.
Disney+ and Hulu prices changed five days before the baseline
The Disney+ and Hulu help pages both say their listed prices apply to new subscriptions as of September 23, 2026, and that people who subscribed earlier “will see a price change in your billing cycle on or after October 21, 2026.” The current prices are $12.49 a month for Disney+ with ads and $21.49 for Disney+ Premium ($214.99 a year), and $12.49 for Hulu with ads ($124.99 a year) and $21.49 for Hulu Premium. Deldur’s record starts on September 28, so the prices before the change are not part of this dataset.
Lowest standard monthly price at each service
| Service | Lowest-priced plan | Monthly |
|---|---|---|
| Netflix | Standard with ads | $8.99 |
| Peacock | Select (with ads; excludes sports, movies and Peacock Originals) | $8.99 |
| Paramount+ | Essential (ad supported) | $8.99 |
| YouTube Premium | Premium Lite | $8.99 |
| HBO Max | Basic with Ads | $10.99 |
| Apple Music | Individual | $11.99 |
| Disney+ | Disney+ (With Ads) | $12.49 |
| Hulu | Hulu (With Ads) | $12.49 |
| Spotify Premium | Individual | $12.99 |
| Apple TV | Apple TV | $14.99 |
What is not in the baseline
Amazon Prime Video and Amazon Music are not included. Live TV plans, ESPN and NFL+ bundles, and Apple One are also left out for now.
Every figure above was read from the service’s own page on the date stated, and nothing is estimated. Prices charged through an app store, a phone carrier or a TV provider can differ. Deldur has no financial relationship with any service in this dataset; how the site works is explained on the About page, and reported errors are handled as described on the Corrections page.
