Disney+ is considered to be one of the best streaming services around. Indeed, with its seemingly unlimited amount of content, there really is something for everyone on Disney's primary streamer.
If you're thinking of signing up for the first time or are returning after previously canceling your subscription, you'll want to know how much it costs. In this guide, I'll tell you everything you need to know about every Disney+ price band and, depending on which tier you pick, what you'll get for your money.
- 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
There's plenty more besides in this article, too, including how the price of Disney+ compares to the House of Mouse's streaming rivals and if there are any money-saving deals to be had. So, without further ado, here's what's what when it comes to the cost of Disney+.
Disney+ prices: the basics
Ever since it first launched in the US in November 2019, the price of Disney+ has risen incrementally worldwide.
As of February 2026, US customers need to part with $11.99 per month for its ad-supported plan and $15.99 every 30 days for the ad-free tier. You're looking at paying $189.99 for an annual subscription for the latter experience, too.
In the UK, 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.
As for the rest of the world, here's how much a monthly subscription to Disney+'s ads-based 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$13.99 a month with ads
- New Zealand: from NZ$14.99 a month with ads
Disney+ deals: are there any available?
Thankfully, there is one way to get Disney+ at a reduced rate compared to the aforementioned price bands — and you need to take advantage the Disney+ password sharing crackdown to do so.
Confused? Let me explain. The account sharing crackdown, which began in 2024, means you haven't been able to share your account with people who live in a separate household to you for the last 18 months.
Family members or friends who have wanted to continue using your account, then, 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.
What's that got to do with saving money? Well, could split the cost of a monthly subscription (with the extra member fee added on top of) between you and one or more households. That way, you can not only continue to access the same account, but also share the financial load and all save some cash in the process. It's not ideal, but it's better than paying full whack for Disney+ by yourself.

How does the Disney+ price compare to other streamers?
Not sure whether you should pick Disney+ over its seven main streaming competitors? 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, there's no real way to tell if you've made the right decision.
That's where I come in. Below, you'll find a table of each platform's cheapest ad-free tier, so you can see how they compare. It'll indicate which one(s) might be worth investing in, especially if money is the primary factor you take into account when deciding which service to sign up for:
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 about. Disney+ isn't exactly cheap on the ad-free subscription front but, if you can stomach the odd advert or two, 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, 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.
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 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+ 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!
