Netflix Is Raising the Prices of Its Standard and Premium Plans for New and Existing Members. The price to Netflix and chill just went up! The streaming platform’s standard plan — which offers HD streaming on up to two different devices simultaneously — will cost $13.99 up from $12.99. The service’s premium plan — which provides up to four ultra HD streams — is now $17.99 up from $15.99. There will be no change in price to the basic plan, which offers a single-streaming option. The new prices take effect Thursday for any new members signing up. As for current members, users will receive a notification within the app 30 days ahead of the price increase. Timing will be based on the specific member’s billing cycle and will be rolled out over the course of the next few months. Explaining the update, a Netflix spokesperson tells People that it was done so that the streaming service can continue to “offer more variety of TV shows and films.” “We understand people have more entertainment choices than ever, and we’re committed to delivering an even better experience for our members,” the spokesperson says. “We’re updating our prices so that we can continue to offer more variety of TV shows and films — in addition to our great fall lineup.”
