For the first time since October 2017, the cost of Netflix is going up, and change will show up on your bill soon.
Netflix provides three streaming plans, each one separated by the number of screens allowed to stream from the same account at one time and the resolution quality, in addition to its traditional DVD service. According to the Wall Street Journal, only two plans will be seeing a change in the monthly subscription rate. The basic plan will now be $8.99 per month, while the company’s most popular plan will be increased from $11 to $13 per month.
A Netflix spokesperson said the price hike will the company continue to invest in original productions and improve the user experience.
