Hey there, my fellow tech enthusiasts! It’s your pal Nuked here, ready to bring you the latest news from the world of streaming services. Today, we’ve got some updates on Disney Plus and Hulu that might leave your wallet feeling a little lighter. Brace yourselves!

Starting from October 12th, Disney Plus is taking another leap in price and will now cost you $13.99 per month for the ad-free experience. And if you’re a fan of Hulu’s no-ads tier, get ready to shell out $17.99 per month for that pleasure. Ouch! But fear not, my friends, for Disney has a little treat in store to soften the blow.

Introducing the new combo subscription! This magical bundle will give you both Disney Plus and Hulu’s ad-free experiences for just $19.99 per month. Sounds like a sweet deal, right? Well, mark your calendars because it will be available starting September 6th.

Now, let’s talk about these price hikes. They’re definitely not pocket-change, my friends. It was only a year ago when Disney raised the cost of Disney Plus to $10.99 per month. And don’t even get me started on ad-free Hulu, which jumped up to $14.99 at that time. Now it’s even more expensive than Warner Bros. Discovery’s Max service, which charges $15.99 monthly for its ad-free tier.

But wait, there’s more! If you’re a fan of the triple play combo that includes Disney Plus (no ads), Hulu (no ads), and ESPN Plus (with ads), you better brace yourself because that will now cost you $24.99 per month.

And let’s not forget about Hulu with Live TV. The version with ads is rising to $76.99, while the commercial-free version is jumping to $89.99 per month from its current price of $82.99. Phew, that’s quite a jump!

In the good old US of A, Disney’s streaming portfolio has grown so much that it needs a table to keep track of all the options and tiers. They even included one in their press email today, just to make things crystal clear. And guess what? They’ve added the upcoming “Duo Premium” plan to the mix.

Now, if you’re looking to save a few bucks, you can opt for the “Duo Basic” plan, which costs $10 less but comes with ads. Just remember, neither plan allows you to pay upfront for an annual subscription, so keep an eye out for any future changes.

Oh, and one more thing! Disney is cracking down on password sharing between its services, so make sure you’re not caught in the act. And if you’re in Europe or Canada, get ready because the with-ads tier of Disney Plus will be rolling out in select markets starting November 1st.

Well, my friends, that’s all for now. Stay tuned for more tech updates and remember to keep those streaming budgets in check. Until next time!
