Starting on October 8, the price increase will be $1, bringing the ad-supported tier up to $6.99, and the ad-free tier to $12.99. It\u2019s not a huge price increase \u2013 though it is a 17% increase on the ad-supported tier and 8% on the ad-free tier. But that means an extra $12 per year for Hulu.<br \/>\nThe Disney bundle will likely get a price increase as well. Though, Hulu has not confirmed that just yet. Currently, it\u2019s $13.99 for ad-supported Hulu and $19.99 for ad-free Hulu. Which looks very attractive now with these price increases on Hulu.<br \/>\nThis follows Hulu Live TV getting a price increase last year, and ESPN+ getting one earlier this year. So it wouldn\u2019t be too crazy to expect to see a Disney+ price increase in the near future.<br \/>\nWhy the price increase?<br \/>\nMost companies don\u2019t really tell us why they raising prices, other than a blanket \u201crising costs\u201d explanation. Hulu does license a lot of content from other providers, and makes its own original content too. Between those two things, it\u2019s likely raising prices to combat those costs. And production under COVID-19 rules likely didn\u2019t make it easier or cheaper to do so.<br \/>\nBut this is the first time that Hulu has raised prices in many years. Meanwhile, Netflix prices go up almost annually. With their cheapest plan now being $8.99. Almost twice what it used to be.<br \/>\nHulu is the biggest part of Disney\u2019s direct-to-consumer business, altogether it has 174 million subscribers by the end of the previous quarter. Hulu hasn\u2019t been growing as fast as Disney+, but it has also been around for well over a decade. So that\u2019s part of it. Disney+ meanwhile had 100% year-over-year growth. A lot of that can be attributed to its aggressive pricing and the pandemic.<br \/>\nThe post Get Your Pitchforks Ready: Hulu Prices Are Going Up In October! appeared first on Android Headlines.&#013;<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Hulu-AH-NS-07-600x338-1.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\">&#013;<br \/>\nSource: ndroidheadlines.com&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s not a big surprise, but Hulu is raising the prices on its on-demand service.
