In Q3’23, our ads membership increased nearly 70% quarter-over-quarter and now accounts for ~30% of all new sign-ups in our 12 ads countries.” “Our immediate priority is building our ad membership so that Netflix becomes an essential buy for advertisers, which is key for advertising to become material to our business. The answer to that question also can be found in the more recent shareholder letter: You’re probably wondering why Premium subscribers are being asked to pay more for their already expensive subscriptions while the ad-supported customers get to keep the cheaper pricing at $6.99 per month. Why Netflix Is Raising Prices on Ad-Free Content Previously, Netflix CFO Spencer Neumann had indicated that the streaming service did not plan to increase prices on customers after rolling out an extensive plan for charging customers for account sharing earlier in 2023. Our starting price is extremely competitive with other streamers and at $6.99 per month in the US, for example, it’s much less than the average price of a single movie ticket.” For the UK and France, our pricing for Ads/Basic/Standard/Premium are UK £4.99/£7.99/£10.99/£17.99 and 5.99€/10.99€/ 13.49€/19.99€, respectively (like the US, our Ads and Standard plans in UK and France are unchanged). In the US, our ads ($6.99) and our Standard plans ($15.49) will stay the same, while Basic will now be $11.99 and Premium $22.99. Starting today, we’re adjusting prices in the US, UK and France. “While we mostly paused price increases as we rolled out paid sharing, our overall approach remains the same - a range of prices and plans to meet a wide range of needs, and as we deliver more value to our members, we occasionally ask them to pay a bit more. Netflix unveiled the price increase as a part of its 2023 Third Quarter Shareholder Letter. What Netflix Is Saying About the Price Increase You can read more about what the tiers have to offer here: Netflix visualization Here’s a look at Netflix’s new pricing model: Subscription Tier The “Standard with ads” and “Standard” subscriptions remain the same price and were unaffected by this price hike. That ad-free subscription went from $9.99 to $11.99 per month for the customers who are still signed up for that option. Netflix also raised the price of its “Basic” subscription, which it stopped offering to new customers in July 2023. That means users who were paying $19.99 per month will now pay $22.99. The “Premium” subscription tier, which is Netflix’s top-of-the-line option, saw a price increase of $3 per month. Netflix raised the price on two of its ad-free subscriptions effective October 18, 2023.
