Netflix already pulled its Basic tier in Canada last month, and with the company directing more and more users toward its ad-supported plan, it’s not really surprising. Unfortunately, it seems this move was on the cards for a while. You can find all the full details of Netflix’s plans and pricing here. You can’t download films and TV episodes to your device, and it does mean sitting through adverts while you watch.
Signing up to ‘Standard With Ads’ will cost users just $6.99 (£4.99) a month but the service is fairly no-frills compared to the others. Unfortunately, users trying to keep their streaming bills low have just one option. However, if users opt for the ‘Premium’ plan at $19.99 (£15.99) a month, they can enjoy four simultaneous streams as well as films and TV shows in 4K Ultra HD and HDR. However, those who are currently subscribed can keep the plan until they either switch plans or cancel their account.Īt the moment, the cheapest ad-free option is Netflix’s ‘Standard’ plan at $15.49 (£10.99) a month, which allows two simultaneous streams. Users can no longer sign up for the ‘Basic’ plan, either for new users or users rejoining the plan.
