Disney+ and Hulu raised U.S. monthly subscription prices Wednesday, with new rates taking effect immediately for new subscribers. Several bundles also cost more.

Disney+ raised its monthly subscription prices in the U.S. on Wednesday. Hulu increased its ad-supported and ad-free monthly rates by the same amounts.

The new prices took effect Wednesday for new subscriptions. Existing subscribers will move to the updated rates on or after October 21.

Monthly subscription and bundle prices are now:

  • Disney+ with ads: US$12.49, up from US$11.99.
  • Disney+ Premium without ads: US$21.49, up from US$18.99.
  • Hulu with ads: US$12.49, up from US$11.99.
  • Hulu without ads: US$21.49, up from US$18.99.
  • Disney+ and Hulu with ads: unchanged at US$12.99.
  • Disney+ and Hulu Premium without ads: US$21.99, up from US$19.99.
  • Disney+, Hulu and ESPN Select Bundle: US$21.99, up from US$19.99.
  • Premium version of that three-service bundle: US$32.99, up from US$29.99.

Disney+ previously increased prices in October 2025 and October 2024. It also raised rates in October 2023, when it announced plans to limit account password sharing.

In August 2025, Disney+ announced plans to fully integrate Hulu into a single app offering both services, scheduled to launch in 2026. Each subscription service will remain available separately, with both accessible through the unified app.

Disney already sells bundles pairing Disney+ and Hulu. A substantial portion of Hulu’s library, including anime, also already streams on Disney+ for people subscribed to both services.

Disney holds 100% ownership of Hulu after purchasing Comcast’s 33% stake for US$8.61 billion in 2023.

Before Disney took full ownership, anime available internationally on Disney+ streamed on Hulu in the U.S. Those anime continue to stream on Hulu and are now also available through Disney+ to subscribers of both services.
