That\u2019s right, Paramount+ is expecting a price increase in the near future, according to The Verge (is nothing sacred?).<br \/>\nThis is something that should have been expected. It seems that about every week, we get news of a price increase for streaming services. Apple TV+ hiked its price from $4.99\/month to $6.99\/month.<br \/>\nDisney+ will raise the price for its ad-free tier from $7.99\/month to $10.99\/month with a $7.99\/month ad-supported tier coming. This will take place on December 8th. As for Hulu, the ad-supported plan jumped from $6.99\/month to $7.99\/month, and the ad-free plan jumped from $12.99\/month to $14.99\/month.<br \/>\nYouTube Music is going to raise its family plan from $17.99\/month to $22.99\/month. Also, we can\u2019t forget the previous Netflix price hike which saw all of the plans jump up in price.<br \/>\nNow, Paramount+ is expecting a price increase<br \/>\nThis information comes from Paramount\u2019s Chief financial officer David Chopra. In a statement, he said that the company \u201csees opportunities to increase price on Paramount+\u201d. That\u2019s about the most PR thing anyone could say about a price increase.<br \/>\nThis \u201copportunity\u201d will arise because prices across streaming services are going up. In case you don\u2019t know, the economy is in a bit of a rough spot- as we all are after the Coronavirus pandemic. So, streaming services, especially streaming services that produce original content, are feeling economic pressure.<br \/>\nThis pressure is making its way down to the viewers in the form of higher monthly payments. So, it\u2019s surprising that Paramount+ held out this long.<br \/>\nAt this point, we have no idea How much a Paramount+ subscription will cost after the price increase. The company revealed that it rose the price of subscriptions in Canada from $5.99 CAD\/month to $9 CAD\/month.<br \/>\nThat\u2019s a pretty big jump. However, Chopra did say that the company wants the ad-supported plan to \u201cserve price-sensitive users.\u201d So, the plan may go up, but not by much.<br \/>\nThe situation with Paramount+ is much like with Spotify. Spotify has seen some major gains over the past year, but it\u2019s still increasing its price. In Paramount+\u2019s case, the company was able to add an additional 4.6 million subscribers this quarter, and that brings its total subscriber count to 46 million.<br \/>\nSo, the company is seeing an increase in paying subscribers. The fact that it has to raise its prices is a testament to how much the economy is affecting companies.<br \/>\nThe post Get ready to pay more for Paramount+ appeared first on Android Headlines.&#013;<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Paramount-Plus-ogo.jpg\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\">&#013;<br \/>\nSource: ndroidheadlines.com&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Streaming services across the board are raising their prices, so it seems about time for Paramount+ to jump on board.
