GoKawiilDiscovery+ Raises Subscription Prices Up to 20% for New Users
Discovery+ has increased its ad-free plan from $10 to $12 per month and its ad-supported tier from $6 to $7, effective immediately for new subscribers. Existing subscribers will see the new rates applied starting with bills issued on or after November 12, following a 30-day notice period.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The increase follows closely on the heels of Paramount Skydance's acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery, though a Skydance spokesperson told Ars Technica the pricing changes were planned before the merger's closing date was known. This marks the third price hike for Discovery+ since its 2012 launch, suggesting streaming services continue to raise costs as content and subscriber expectations evolve.
- Discovery+ ad-free plan rises from $10 to $12; ad-supported plan rises from $6 to $7
- New prices apply immediately to new subscribers; current subscribers get 30 days' notice, effective with bills from November 12
- Skydance says the hike was planned independently of the Warner Bros. Discovery merger, not in response to it
