Watching films on Netflix is becoming more expensive. The US streaming provider has increased the prices for some of its subscriptions.
Netflix is becoming more expensive in Germany. The most expensive “Premium” subscription with 4K picture quality and 3D sound now costs 19.99 euros instead of 17.99 euros, according to information on the Netflix website for Germany. For the “standard” subscription with a full HD image and fewer devices that can be used at the same time, the price increases from 12.99 to 13.99 euros. On the other hand, the subscription with advertising costs 4.99 euros per month.
Netflix has been cracking down on sharing passwords across a household since last year, while also introducing a cheaper subscription with ads. Users remained loyal to the service: Netflix reported increasing customer numbers after the action against account free riders began. This also gives the streaming market leader the confidence to increase prices.
In the USA the subscription is even more expensive
In recent months, subscriptions have gradually become more expensive in various countries. In the home market of the USA, the premium subscription now costs $22.99. Netflix points out, among other things, that an attractive range of programs requires high investments.
For the “Basic” subscription, which was already only available to existing customers but could no longer be rebooked, you now have to pay 9.99 euros instead of the previous 7.99 euros. The website “Moviepilot” first reported on the price increase.
