This guide is your one stop shop to learning more about one of the best streaming services' subscription tiers, what each one offers, and, most importantly, their various price points.

- US: Subscribe to Disney+ from $11.99 per month
- UK: Subscribe to Disney+ from £5.99 per month
- Australia: Subscribe to Disney+ from AU$13.99
So, whether you want to know how much money you'll need to part with monthly or annually, are interested in finding out more about those cost-cutting Disney+ bundle deals, or even learn if a free trial is available, this article has answers to your biggest burning questions.
Disney+ prices: the basics
Since its initial US launch in November 2019, Disney+ has become more expensive worldwide.
As of October 2025, US users have to fork out $11.99 per month for its ad-supported plan and $15.99 every 30 days for the ad-free tier. Annually, you're looking at parting with $189.99 for the ad-free experience, too.
In the UK, the ad-supported option is now £5.99 a month, the standard ad-free tier costs £9.99 per month, and the ad-free Premium plan is £14.99 per month. Annually, the ad-free tiers are £99.90 and £149.90 respectively.
It's unclear if and when non-US and non-UK users will need to pay more to stream the best Disney+ movies and best Disney+ shows around. Once I hear anything about price increases in other nations and/or territories, you'll be the first to know.
For now, here's a quick rundown on the cheapest price points for Disney+ in select countries:
- US: from $11.99 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
Crucially, there's a cheap workaround that'll allow you to bypass any recent or upcoming price hikes: Disney+'s password sharing crackdown.
You see, Disney doesn't allow people who live in a separate household to you to access your account for free anymore. 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 the extra member attached. However, as long as they reimburse you, or even go halves with you on the total cost of the tier you're signed up to, it's a cost-effective alternative than everyone owning separate accounts.

How does the Disney+ price compare to other streamers?
Disney+ notwithstanding, there are seven other major streaming services that are competing for your attention.
The main problem that many people have, though, is deciding which one 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 they're 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.
Streaming service | Ad-free rate |
|---|---|
Disney+ | $15.99 a month |
Netflix | $17.99 or $24.99 a month |
HBO Max | $18.49 or $22.99 a month |
Hulu | $18.99 a month |
Paramount+ | $12.99 a month |
Apple TV | $12.99 a month |
Peacock TV | $16.99 a month |
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 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, so it's not the wholly 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 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 cancel your Disney+ subscription and reopen your account when there's something that piques your interest.
Disney Plus price: FAQs
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!
