. It feels like the last price increase for the streaming subscription wasn't that long ago, and the next cost increase is already coming. This time it doesn't just affect the standard and premium versions, but also the cheapest subscription: even those who have to endure Netflix with advertising will have to pay even more for it in the future. However, there is also good news. So far, this price adjustment has only been announced for the USA.
Netflix is becoming more expensive again, and this time for the first time this also affects the subscription with advertising
That's what it's about:Netflix is no longer the top dog and sole ruler in the streaming sector. But even if the offering has become less and less extensive and all-encompassing, the prices are still constantly increasing. Now even at the subscription level, which comes with advertising.
This renewed price increaseis the first in the US since October 2023. It is the very first to hit the advertising subscription since it was launched. The new prices could be loudPolygonhave to do with the fact that Netflix is becoming more and more classic television and is increasingly focusing on live events such as boxing matches and the like.
What will be more expensive and how much more expensive?At least the price increases are not too steep. Nevertheless, it is of course never nice for subscribers if nothing changes in the product itself, but it simply becomes more expensive. Here you can see the changes:
- The subscription level with advertising increasesfrom $6.99 to $7.99.
- The subscription level without advertising costsinstead of $15.49 then $17.99.
- The premium tier increases the price of$22.99 to $24.99.
What could that mean for us in Germany?
The good newsIn this matter, the price increases were initially only announced for the USA. This means that nothing changes to your subscription and the associated prices. At least not for now.

Will the new prices also come to us?The chances are not bad. In recent years, Netflix's prices have mostly been gradually increased everywhere. There are certainly international differences in prices, but we would rather not have too high hopes that Germany will miraculously be spared from this.
Do you watch Netflix, what subscription level have you subscribed to and what would be your pain threshold for the price to cancel?
