In the new year of 2025, we’ll witness Netflix raising their subscription costs for the first time (and likely not the last). Earlier price adjustments aimed at encouraging users towards their new ad-supported plan. However, even this tier is now subject to a price bump. Wondering how much Netflix has increased its prices? Here’s an overview of the affected plans and the extent of the increase in Netflix’s January 2025 subscription price changes.

Every Netflix Subscription Plan Is Increasing in Cost in January 2025

Looks like it’s going to be more expensive to watch your favorite shows on Netflix! The company has announced a price hike for all of its subscription plans in the United States, including those with and without ads. To put it simply, the Standard plan with Ads will now set you back $7.99 per month, while the Standard Plan without Ads will now cost $17.99. Lastly, the Premium Plan is going up to $24.99 per month. So, grab your popcorn and get ready for a bit more expense when it comes to your Netflix subscription!

How much will Netflix’s Standard with Ads Plan Cost After These Latest Price Increases?

Starting from January 2023, the Netflix plan that includes ads will be priced at $7.99 monthly. This is the first time an adjustment in cost has affected this ad-supported plan since its introduction in 2022. Previously, this plan was offered for $6.99 per month. Following the recent increase in Netflix subscription fees, the price of the ad-supported plan has gone up by one dollar every month.

How much will Netflix’s Standard (No Ads) Plan Cost After These Latest Price Increases?

Previously priced at $15.49 per month, Netflix’s Standard Plan without Ads will now set you back $17.99 monthly – a significant jump in cost by $2.50. This is their most popular plan; let’s wait and see how this price increase affects it.

How much will Netflix’s Premium Plan Cost After These Latest Price Increases?

Netflix’s top-tier subscription (the one without ads) is seeing another substantial price hike, bringing its cost to $24.99 per month. Previously, this plan was set at $22.99/month, and the new price represents a $2 increase.

Other Cost Increases Hitting Netflix in 2025

Besides the rise in subscription prices, the cost for adding additional members to a Netflix plan without ads will also increase from $7.99 per month to $8.99. On the other hand, the price for adding an extra member to the ad-supported Netflix plan stays the same at $6.99.

For those intrigued, the only ad-supported plan on Netflix right now is the Standard with Ads option. On the other hand, both the Standard without Ads plan and the Premium Plan from Netflix are ad-free. However, these tiers vary not just in the number of supported devices but also in the number of additional members you can add to your account as part of Netflix’s password-sharing policy adjustment.

The Price Increases Start Coming, and They Don’t Stop Coming

Starting from January 21st, new customers can expect an increase in prices. Current customers will notice these adjustments in their upcoming bills. The price rise applies to users of Netflix in the United States, Canada, Portugal, and Argentina.

Each year, I find myself paying a bit more for Netflix’s continuous investment in quality content and enhancing the member experience. As much as I appreciate their efforts to improve, it seems advertisements are becoming increasingly invasive and shows are being canceled at an alarming rate. Here’s hoping that the price increase we’re experiencing now is a one-time thing for 2025.
