Another day, another streaming service price hike. Those who sign up for the ad-free Discovery+<\/ins><\/a> plan starting today will now pay $9 per month, up from $7. The ad-supported plan isn’t changing in the US, though, as it will still cost $5.<\/p>\n

There’s a similar price hike in Canada, as the ad-free plan is going up from $7 CAD to $9 CAD. Those north of the border will need to pay extra for the ad-lite plan too \u2014 that’s increasing from $5 to $6 per month.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Existing subscribers will still pay their existing rate for another month. The price increase will be applied to their account on their next billing cycle on or after November 2.<\/p>\n

It’s the first time that Discovery+ has increased prices on monthly plans in the US and Canada since the service debuted in the countries in January 2021<\/ins><\/a>. The price hike “will allow us to continue to provide can\u2019t miss-stories in the food, home, relationships, true crime, paranormal genres \u2014 plus so much more,” Discovery+ said in a press release and an email to users.<\/p>\n

Along with generating more revenue from subscribers, Warner Bros Discovery may be using the price increase to push customers to switch to a Max subscription instead. Max includes all of the Discovery+ content<\/ins><\/a> and much more. It’s a pricier affair, though, with the base ad-supported plan costing $10 per month<\/ins><\/a>.<\/p>\n

We’ve seen many streaming services increase prices in recent months, including various music services<\/ins><\/a>. The Disney+ premium and Hulu ad-free plans will become significantly more expensive next week<\/ins><\/a>. Netflix, meanwhile, looks set to increase prices again after the actors’ strike ends, according to a Wall Street Journal<\/ins><\/em><\/a>\u00a0<\/em>report.<\/p>\n
