Disney Plus is one of Netflix's closest competitors as the only place where you can stream the vast majority of the Disney and Pixar libraries, along with every Star Wars movie, Marvel films, original TV shows, NatGeo content and The Simpsons. Shows like Bluey, Andor and Daredevil: Born Again attract millions of fans, and its catalog of films include brand hits such as Moana, Mufasa: The Lion King and Deadpool & Wolverine. But now, its ad-based plan is $12 per month (more than Netflix, Peacock and HBO Max's ad-based plans), while the ad-free version is $19 a month.
Disney Plus is a family-friendly streaming TV choice that offers the most value when bundled with other services like Hulu or HBO Max; however, the Disney Plus and Hulu app merger is set for early next year. You can easily navigate Disney Plus with its hub tiles, and if you're also subscribed to Hulu or ESPN, you can watch content for both within the app. Like Netflix, however, it now charges an optional extra user fee if you want to share your account.
If you are a bundle lover, you should get one of Disney's money-saving packages. Ad-free Disney Plus is $19 monthly, and there are six bundles that range from $13 to $45 per month. $13 gets you basic Disney Plus and Hulu with ads, while ad-free Premium is $20. For $20 monthly, a triple basic package comes with Disney Plus, Hulu and ESPN Select all with ads, and the $30 premium version of that nets you all three streaming platforms, and only ESPN Select has ads. Upgrade to a bundle with ESPN Unlimited, and the ad-based package runs $36 a month, and the ad-free plan is $45 monthly.
Though it's not an official "Disney Bundle," there's an alternate package that combines HBO Max, Hulu and Disney Plus for either $20 or $33 a month, depending on whether you want to go with ads or ad-free.
