Thinking about signing up to Disney+? You'll want to know how much it'll cost you.

That's where this guide comes in. Below, I'll tell you everything you need to know about one of the best streaming services' various price bands (FYI, you can quickly see the cheapest fees for some nations in the list below):

Additionally, you'll be able to see if there are any money-saving deals to be had in early 2026, how the cost of Disney's main streaming platform compares to its rivals, and more. So, read on to see whether the House of Mouse's primary streamer is worth the financial outlay.

Disney+ prices: the basics

Since it originally launched in the US over six years ago, the price of Disney+ has only gone in one direction: up.

As of January 2026, US users must pay $11.99 per month for its ad-supported plan and $15.99 every 30 days for the ad-free tier. You'll be looking at paying $189.99 for an annual subscription for the latter experience, too.

On British shores, the ad-based option is £5.99 a month, the standard ad-free tier costs £9.99 per month, and the ad-free premium plan will set you back £14.99 per month. Annually, the ad-free tiers are £99.90 and £149.90 respectively.

Where the rest of the world is concerned, here's how much a monthly ad-supported Disney+ subscription will cost you:

Unimpressed by the amount of money you'll have to part with? There are a couple of ways to circumvent Disney+'s current price points.

For starters, the introduction of the Disney+ password sharing crackdown means you can't share your account with people who live in a separate household to you for free anymore. Family members or friends who want to continue using your account need to be added as an 'Extra Member' to your subscription.

In the US, that means paying an additional $6.99 (with ads) and $9.99 (without ads) per month. Meanwhile, UK customers 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 you're paying more to add someone else to your account. However, as long as they reimburse you, or even share the load with you, it's a cost-effective alternative to owning separate accounts.

As for any actual cost-saving deals, there is one to take advantage of in the US and UK.

Where the former is concerned, new and returning customers can save 58% by grabbing this Disney+ and Hulu bundle offer, which represents a near-$24 saving compared to if you subscribed to them separately. FYI, the deal ends in mid-February.

Meanwhile, from January 15 to 28, a Disney+ promo offer that'll save you cash across a three-month period is available to new and returning UK consumers. Sign up today and you can save £6 across the aforementioned timeline with the ad-supported tier, £9 for the standard option, and £15 for the premium plan.

How does the Disney+ price compare to other streamers?

Disney+ notwithstanding, there are seven other major streaming services competing for your attention and money.

The big question, though, is which one is right for you. Without signing up – or, if one is available, making use of a free trial – to a specific platform to see what new movies and TV shows they offer, there's no real way to tell if they're worth the investment before you take the plunge.

That's where I come in. I've compiled a table of each platform's cheapest non-ad-supported tier below, so you can see – at a glance – how they compare to each other. If you're short of cash and can only afford one per month, it'll give you a better sense of which one is best to try first from a money-saving standpoint, too.

Is Disney+ worth the price?

In short: yes, but only just about. Disney+ isn't exactly cost-effective 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 plan is worth investing in.

As one of the oldest studios around, Disney has built up an extensive – and mostly excellent – back catalog of films and shows

Animation-wise, there are lots 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 natural history documentaries by way of National Geographic. It even features adult-oriented content via the recently integrated Hulu app (outside of the US), too, so it's not the completely kid-friendly streamer that many 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, including Netflix and Prime Video. Frankly, though, it doesn't need to. There's over a century's worth of content to enjoy on the service, so a Disney+ subscription is definitely worth considering.

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

Which countries is Disney+ available in?

Initially, Disney+ was only available in the US, Canada, and the Netherlands.

Since its November 2019 launch, it's rolled out to many other nations – 106, to be exact – including Australia, New Zealand, the UK, numerous European countries, Japan, and nations in Latin America.

Is a Disney+ free trial currently available?

A seven-day free trial was introduced when Disney+ was originally released, but one hasn't been available for years now.

If you're in the market for a new phone contract, there may be a way to try it for free if you can find a deal with Disney+ thrown in as part of a bundle. Alternatively, you can look at third-party websites to see if they've got a deal running. For more information, check out our Disney+ free trial guide.

Failing all of that, you can shift the cost onto a loved one and ask for a Disney+ gift card for your birthday, Christmas, or another special occasion. Hey, it's technically free if you didn't pay for it!
