Streaming just got a little pricier for Aussies, with Disney+ announcing a fresh round of price hikes. It’s the second increase in just over a year, and it’s sure to get viewers talking.
What’s Changing?
The Standard plan has climbed to $17.99 a month, while Premium now sits at $24.99. Annual plans have also gone up, meaning loyal subscribers will feel the pinch even more over time.
But it’s not all bad news. There is a new, cheaper option on the table.
A Budget Option Arrives
Disney+ has rolled out a Standard with Ads plan for $9.99 a month. It still offers HD streaming and two screens at once, but there is a catch. Ads are included, and downloads are no longer available.
It is a clear trade-off. Save money or keep the ad-free experience.
What It Means for Viewers
These changes show a bigger shift happening across the streaming world. Platforms like Netflix have already moved in a similar direction, blending higher prices with ad-supported tiers.
For Australians, it means more choice but also more decisions. With costs creeping up, it might be time to rethink which services are really worth keeping in your monthly lineup.
