Disney+ price: how much does each plan cost, are any deals available, is it cheaper than Netflix, and more

I hope you're ready for another Disney+ price hike, because another one is on the way.

It might be one of the best streaming services around – depending on who you ask, anyway – with a library to rival the biggest entertainment studios. However, with Disney+ UK users already being asked to pay more as of September 30, 2025, and Disney+ set to get more expensive in the US from mid-October, most of us will have to pay more for the privilege of subscribing to it.

• US: Subscribe to Disney Plus from $9.99 per month
• UK: Subscribe to Disney Plus from £5.99 per month
• Australia: Subscribe to Disney Plus from AU$13.99

Want to take advantage of the lower price that Disney+ is available at right now? You're in luck. Below, I'll run you through each subscription tier and how much money you'll need to part with to open an account.

Further into this article, you'll find answers to other burning queries about Disney's primary streamer, such as whether a free trial period is currently offer, if there are any money-saving deals that you can take advantage of, and how the cost of Disney+ compares to its rivals. So, what are you waiting for? Hop to it!

Disney+ prices: the basics

Since launching in the US in November 2019, Disney+ has steadily become more expensive everywhere that the streamer is now available.

As of September 2025, US users have forked out $9.99 per month for its ad-supported plan and $15.99 every 30 days for the ad-free tier. Unfortunately for users stateside, those prices are going up from October 21, with the ad-supported tier's cost rising by $2 a month and the ad-free offering set to become $3 more expensive.

UK users have had no time to adjust to potential price rises. Indeed, Disney hiked the cost for new, returning, and current customers on September 30, 2025. Now, those of us who live here must pay a monthly fee of £5.99 for the ad-supported option, £9.99 for the standard ad-free tier, and £14.99 for its ad-free Premium plan. Annually, the ad-free tiers have gone up to £99.90 and £149.90 respectively.

There's no word on when these price increases might become more widespread. For now, then, people outside of the US and UK can make use of the current price bands to stream the best Disney+ movies and best Disney+ shows around. For example, Australian Disney+ users can still watch it in 4K and with Dolby Atmos support for AU$17.99 per month. Meanwhile, the Standard plan is slightly cheaper, though you won't get as much bang for you buck with this AU$13.99 per month option.

For more details on the cheapest plans available in other nations, read on:

• US: from $9.99 a month with ads
• UK: from £5.99 a month with ads
• Europe: from €5.99 a month with ads
• Canada: from CA$8.99 a month with ads
• Australia: from AU$13.99 a month with ads
• New Zealand: from NZ$14.99 a month with ads

Peeved about having to pay more – in the US, anyway – from mid-October onwards? Disney+'s password sharing crackdown, which began in 2024, might be a way to circumvent this price rise if you've had enough streamers forcing you to stump up more of your hard-earned cash.

You see, Disney doesn't allow anyone who lives in a separate household to access your account for free. Family members or friends who want to continue using your Disney+ account need to be added as an 'Extra Member' to your subscription. In the US, you'll need to pay an additional $6.99 (with ads) and $9.99 (without ads) per month. Meanwhile, UK consumers will need to fork out £4.99 for the ad-supported tier, or £5.99 every 30 days for both of the ad-free offerings.

Okay, that means your monthly fee is higher than it would be without adding an extra member. However, as long as you get them to pay you back, or even go halves with you on the total cost of whatever tier you're signed up to, this is a far cheaper alternative than two or more of you having separate accounts. So, if you're looking to avoid next month's price increase, this is your best way around it.

How does the Disney+ price compare to other streamers?

Disney+ notwithstanding, there are seven other major streaming services that want you to watch – for a fee, of course – their original and licensed content.

The main problem that many people have, though, is deciding which streamer is right for them. Without signing up – or, if one is available, making use of a free trial – to a specific service to see what new movies and TV shows they offer, there's no real way of telling if it's worth the outlay.

That's where I come in. Below, I've rounded up the price of each platform's cheapest non-ad-supported tier. That way, you can see – at a glance – how they compare to each other and, if you're short of cash and can only afford one per month, get a better sense of which one is best to try first from a financial perspective.

Is Disney+ worth the price?

In short: yes. Disney+ is on the pricier side when it comes to its ad-free tiers but, if you can stomach the odd advert or two, and are working to a budget, its ad-supported subscription is definitely worth investing in.

As one of the oldest studios around, Disney has built an extensive – and mostly excellent – back catalog of films and TV series. On the animation side of things, there are plenty of classic animated Disney movies and Pixar delights to enjoy. Disney+ is also home to numerous big franchises, such as Star Wars and Marvel, its own Original movies and TV shows, and nature documentaries by way of National Geographic. It even features adult-oriented content via Hulu (US) and Disney+ Star (internationally), so it's not the solely kid-friendly streamer that lots of people make it out to be.

Disney+ doesn't license content from its streaming rivals, so you won't be able to stream originals from its competitors, such as Netflix and Prime Video. Frankly, though, it doesn't need to. There's over a century's worth of content to enjoy at home, so a Disney+ subscription is worth the investment.

And, hey, if you're not fussed on what's new on the platform for any given month, you can just cancel your Disney+ subscription and reopen your account when there's something that takes your fancy.
