Disney+ price: the basics
After its initial launch in the US almost seven years ago, the price of Disney+ has only in one direction: up.
As of July 2026, those in the US have to spend $11.99 per month for its ad-supported plan and $15.99 every 30 days for the ad-free tier. You're looking at $189.99 for an annual subscription for the latter experience, too.
In the UK, an ad-based subscription costs £5.99 a month, the standard ad-free tier is £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.
As for the rest of the world, here's how much a monthly subscription to Disney+'s ad-supported tier will set you back:
- 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$9.99 a month with ads
- New Zealand: from NZ$9.99 a month with ads
Disney+ deals: are there any available?
Not in the traditional sense. There is a way to save money, but you'll have take advantage of the Disney+ password sharing crackdown to do so.
Don't know what that is? Let me explain: in 2024, Disney began cracking down on account sharing. Essentially, that means you can no longer access the account of anyone who lives in a separate household to you, and vice versa. Family members and/or friends who wish to continue using your account — or, again, vice versa — needed to be added to an existing subscription as an Extra Member.
You can't do that for free, either. In the US, an additional $6.99 (with ads) and $9.99 (without ads) per month is needed to add a Extra Member to someone's account. Meanwhile, those in the UK need to fork out £4.99 for the ad-supported tier, or £5.99 every 30 days for the ad-free offerings.
Okay, but how can this save you some money? if you split the cost of a monthly subscription between everyone who wants to use the same account, you'll not only share the financial burden, but also keep some cash in your back pocket. Instead of paying $9.99 a month for the ad-free tier, then, two of you can spend just $4.98 every 30 days simply by adding the other person to one of your existing accounts. Simple!

How does the Disney+ price compare to other streamers?
Not sure whether you should pick Disney+ over its streaming rivals? I don't blame 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, you might have choice paralysis ahead of making the big decision.
That's where I come in. Below, I've rounded up each platform's cheapest ad-free tier and their price points, so you can compare them and make a more informed decision on which one you should go for, especially if funds are tight.
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, but only just. Disney+ isn't cheap on the ad-free subscription front but, if you can stomach adverts and are working to a budget, its ad-supported plan is a great alternative.
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, including Star Wars and Marvel, its own original movies and TV shows, and flora-, fauna-, and location-based 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 competitors, so you won't be able to stream originals from the likes of 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.
Disney Plus price: FAQs
Which countries is Disney+ available in?
Since its November 2019 launch in the US, Disney+ has been rolled out in 106 nations. Those include — but aren't limited to — 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 since late 2021.
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+ included 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!
