It’s getting quite pricey to watch your favorite shows without interruption.
Starting Oct. 12, Hulu will increase its ad-free subscription from $14.99 to $17.99 per month.
Disney+ will also see a jump from $10.99 to $13.99 for its monthly ad-free plan.
And before you and your close circle decide to chip in for a shared account, you should know that Disney CEO Bob Iger also announced Wednesday that the company is “actively exploring ways to address account sharing and the best options for paying subscribers to share their accounts with friends and families.”
In other words: a crackdown on password sharing, perhaps similar to what Netflix introduced in May, is coming to Hulu.

The platform allows you to display contact information, social media links, services, and products all in one shareable link. Optional features include appointment scheduling, WhatsApp-based storefronts, media galleries, and custom design options.
What’s more, the company introduced a new ad-free Disney+ and Hulu bundle — without ESPN+ — called “Duo Premium,” available Sept. 6 for a monthly fee of $19.99.
If commercials don’t bother you, and you pay $7.99 a month for standalone Hulu or Disney+, your bills should not change.
Neither will the company’s “Duo” Hulu and Disney+ plan with ads. That will also remain unchanged at $9.99 per month.
Disney+ launched in November 2019 for just $7 a month for ad-free content.
The Walt Disney Company streaming services’ price hikes come as Netflix’s standard plan totals $16 — unless you want to add an extra member outside of the household. That’ll cost another $8.
Max’s monthly ad-free plan is $15.99, while Peacock subscriptions range from $6 to $12.
