What’s Happening:
- Variety has reported that the cost of Hulu will be going up for those who use the service as standalone and not as part of a bundle.
- Hulu’s ad and non-ad services will be going up by $1 to $11.99 and $12.99 starting on October 8, 2021.
- The change won’t impact the pricing for Hulu + Live TV plans nor the Disney Bundle plan, giving streamers another reason to go for the bundle which can be purchased for $13.99 with ads on Hulu and $19.99 without ads on Hulu, but gives customers the addition of Disney+ and ESPN+.
