2024 seemed like a golden age for streaming, offering an escape from cable’s grip with its promise of more choices, improved experiences, and reduced expenses. However, it feels lately that the streamers have forgotten about the quality-of-life aspect, preferring to pile on ads, price hikes, and every other trick in their arsenal to milk consumers dry. It’s becoming a constant battle to keep up with the relentless increase in streaming costs. But worry not! This year, we’ve decided to take charge. We’re closely monitoring each and every cost increase or price hike that occurs across all streaming platforms.

All the Streaming Price Hikes in 2025
1/7/2025 – Discovery+ Increases the Cost of its Ad-Free and Ad-Supported Plans
2025 saw our initial price adjustment on the first day of the year. Discovery+ raised the cost for both its ad-free and ad-supported streaming plans. If you’re a subscriber to this service, here are the changes you can anticipate. Starting from January 7th, 2025, the cost for Discovery+’s ad-supported tier will rise from $4.99 to $5.99, marking a $1 increase for the platform. This is the first price adjustment for the ad-supported Discovery+ since its launch in 2021. On the other hand, the ad-free tier of Discovery+ will also see an increase, rising from $9.99 to $10.99, a monthly cost hike of $1. However, it’s important to note that back in October 2023, Discovery+’s streaming costs were already bumped up from $6.99 to $8.99. This means over the past two years, the ad-free option on Discovery+ has seen an increase of $3 per month.
