The big question on everyone's minds before they decide to sign up to Disney's primary streamer, though, is how much it'll cost. In this article, TechRadar's entertainment experts – one of whom is yours truly – will guide you through the various tiers you can subscribe to, as well as the price of each one.

I'll also answer other big queries you have about the service, including whether you can try before you buy with a free trial, if there are any money-saving deals to be had, and how Disney+'s pricing compares to other market leaders.

Here, then, is everything you need to know about the cost of Disney+.

Disney+ prices: the basics

Since its November 2019 launch in the US, the cost of Disney+ has grown stateside and in other world region it's since debuted in.

The most recent Disney+ price rise came into effect last October and saw US customers – new, returning, and current – stump up a couple more bucks for the privilege of accessing its seemingly unlimited library of content. As of May 2025, then, the ad-supported plan costs $9.99 a month, while the ad-free tier will set you back $15.99 a month.

In the UK, the Standard (without ads) plan is £8.99 per month and the Premium plan costs £12.99 every 30 days. Thankfully, the Standard With Ads plan hasn't changed. This tier is priced ay £4.99 per month, so you can stream the best Disney+ movies and best Disney+ shows for a relatively cheap fee as long as the odd advert break doesn't irk you.

As for Australia, Disney+ became more expensive Down Under in March 2024. Well, by way of a new more expensive tier, anyway. If you want to stream Disney+ in 4K and with Dolby Atmos support, you'll have to stump up AU$17.99 per monthe. The Standard plan is slightly cheaper, though, with a AU$13.99 per month price point.

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

• US: from $9.99 a month with ads
• UK: from £4.99 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

Last year's price hikes came amid the global rollout of Disney+'s own password sharing crackdown.

Essentially, Disney no long allows people, who live in a separate household to you, to use your account for free. Anyone who wants to needs 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. UK consumers will need to fork out £3.99 (with ads) or £4.99 (without ads) every 30 days.

This is a far cheaper alternative than someone signing up for their own account (just make sure you bill those extra members for the additional cost you'll have to pay!). Nevertheless, it stings that the world's leading streamers are coaxing more money out of hard-working people.

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.
