Disney Plus price: Plans, cost, and ad tier differences
Disney Plus costs have increased multiple times since the service first launched in 2019, but it remains a competitively priced streaming option for the whole family. Plans start at $10 a month for the stand-alone ad-supported tier and increase when you bundle or go ad-free. Disney Plus ranks among the best streaming services we've evaluated, consistently providing a top selection of shows and movies for families around the globe. The app carries everything from classic Disney and Pixar films to newer Marvel and Star Wars releases. US viewers can also live stream select programming, including some sporting events. They can unlock even more content by signing up for a Disney Plus Bundle with Hulu and either HBO Max or ESPN Plus. Despite the aforementioned price hikes, we still think that Disney Plus is one of the best streaming apps you can sign up for, thanks to its deep back catalog and burgeoning slate of original programming. The prices are comparable to similar streaming services and even cheaper than some competitors, including Netflix and Peacock. Below, we've provided a full Disney Plus price breakdown for every plan and package, including popular bundles with other streaming services. How much does Disney Plus cost? There are a few different Disney Plus prices depending on whether you want to pay monthly, commit to an annual subscription, or bundle Disney Plus with Hulu, ESPN Plus, and/or HBO Max. Below is how much it costs to subscribe to Disney Plus as of Summer 2025. Disney Plus plan Price Disney Plus with ads (monthly) $10/month Disney Plus ad-free (monthly) $16/month Disney Plus ad-free (annual) $160/month Disney Plus (ads) and Hulu (ads) $11/month Disney Plus (ads), Hulu (ads), and ESPN Plus $17/month Disney Plus, Hulu, and HBO Max with ads $17/month Disney Plus (ad-free) and Hulu (ad-free) $20/month Disney Plus (ad-free), Hulu (ad-free), and ESPN Plus $27/month Disney Plus, Hulu, and HBO Max ad-free $30/month Disney Plus (ads), Hulu + Live TV (ads), and ESPN Plus $83/month Disney Plus (ad-free), Hulu + Live TV (ad-free), and ESPN Plus $96/month What's included in the regular monthly price? Disney Plus features differ slightly depending on which tier you sign up for: Disney Plus With Ads or Disney Plus No Ads. However, you can access the same shows and movies no matter which ad tier you decide. The Disney Plus With Ads plan includes: Ad-supported streaming for thousands of movies and TV shows Up to 4K UHD and HDR on select titles Ability to stream on four devices simultaneously Ability to add up to seven profiles The Disney Plus No Ads plan also offers these extra features: Ad-free streaming Downloads on up to 10 devices Dolby Atmos immersive sound on select titles How much does Disney Plus cost outside the US? Disney Plus is one of the more globally available streaming services, with many shows and movies streaming through the app around the world. Plans and prices vary from region to region. While the US only has two plans (With Ads and Ad-Free, both able to stream up to 4K), regions like Canada and the United Kingdom have Standard (With Ads), Standard (Ad-Free), and Premium (Ad-Free with 4K video quality). The exact offerings in the on-demand library are also subject to regional variability. For example, several shows available on Hulu only in the US stream on Disney Plus in the UK. Disney Plus' foray into live streaming is typically exclusive to the US. Here's how much Disney Plus costs in local currency in other major markets internationally: Can you get Disney Plus for free? When the app first launched, there was a seven-day Disney Plus free trial. However, the offer was removed years ago, and we haven't seen any signs of its return. Disney Plus (and Hulu and ESPN Plus) are included with Hulu + Live TV subscriptions. The ad-supported version of this package (which costs $83/month) occasionally offers a three-day free trial. Ad-supported Disney Plus (and Hulu and HBO Max) are also available through DirecTV 's MyEntertainment genre pack, which costs $35/month and includes access to 40+ live channels. This plan comes with a five-day free trial, so you can always try out Disney Plus during this brief period. As of writing, there aren't any active deals allowing free long-term access to Disney Plus, though the platform often partners with companies like Verizon to offer free or discounted plans through other services. Verizon currently offers the ad-supported Disney Plus, Hulu, and ESPN Plus bundle at a discounted rate of $10 a month if you select it as a perk on your Unlimited plan. Previously, Verizon offered ad-free Disney Plus for six months, but this promo is no longer available. We'll update this section if any new promotions become available. How does the Disney Plus price compare to the cost of other streaming services? The ad-free Disney Plus price is competitive when compared to similar streaming services like Max, Hulu, Peacock, and Netflix, but it's more expensive than other options like Paramount Plus and Apple TV Plus. The chart below shows that the ad-free Disney Plus price hovers toward the upper midrange of ad-free plans. Disney Plus ad-free price compared to ad-free competitors: What are the Disney Plus bundle options? If you want to watch sports and additional movies and TV shows from non-Disney sources, you can save some money by choosing one of the Disney Plus bundles with Hulu and ESPN Plus or HBO Max. You can bundle Disney Plus with Hulu as part of the Basic bundle, which costs $11 a month for ad-supported streaming. You can upgrade the bundle to ad-free Premium for $20 a month. The Disney Plus (ads), Hulu (ads), and ESPN Plus bundle costs $17 monthly. You can also bundle Disney Plus (ad-free) with Hulu (ad-free) and ESPN Plus for $27 a month. The bundle can save you more than 40% off the regular combined price of all three services. The Disney Plus, Hulu, and ESPN Plus bundle is also included with all Hulu + Live TV subscriptions. Live TV with the ad-supported trio costs $83/month, while live TV with ad-free options costs $96/month. It's important to note that only Disney Plus and Hulu are ad-free with this higher tier. ESPN Plus will always have advertisements due to the nature of live TV. Alternatively, you can save by bundling Disney Plus with Hulu and Max. You can sign up for the three services with ads for $17 a month, or opt for ad-free streaming for $30 a month, saving you up to 38% compared to subscribing to each individually. Disney Plus/Hulu/HBO Max Bundle with Ads This triple-value bundle gets you ad-supported access to Disney Plus, Hulu, and HBO Max for just $17 a month. That's $13 off the regular combined cost of all three services and provides you with a huge selection of shows and movies to enjoy. Check price at Disney Plus Disney Plus/Hulu/HBO Max Bundle without Ads This package offers ad-free streaming access to Disney Plus, Hulu, and HBO Max for $30 a month. That's more than $20 less than the regular combined cost of all three services. However, while Disney Plus and Hulu both provide 4K support, the HBO Max plan included with this bundle is limited to HD video quality. Check price at Disney Plus You can find detailed instructions for bundling different versions of Hulu with Disney Plus and ESPN Plus in our Disney Plus bundle guide, where we also break down how to watch ESPN Plus or Hulu from within the Disney Plus app. Does Disney Plus charge for password sharing? Streaming services have increasingly begun to crack down on password sharing, and Disney properties are no exception. Disney Plus does not allow members to share their passwords with users outside their households. However, this doesn't necessarily mean that you have to pay for a new subscription. Instead of signing up for a brand-new plan, there's an Extra Member option for both the ad-supported and ad-free versions of Disney Plus. Extra Member add-on subscriptions cost an additional $7 a month for Basic and $10 a month for Premium. You can also get Extra add-ons for the Disney Bundle Duo Basic ($8 a month), Disney Bundle Duo Premium ($11 a month), Disney Bundle Trio Basic ($12 a month), and Disney Bundle Trio Premium ($15 a month). When was the last Disney Plus price hike? The last Disney Plus price hike was on October 17, 2024. The increase impacted every plan across Disney Plus, Hulu, and ESPN Plus. Most tiers of the service increased by an average of $2 a month. The ad-supported base Disney Plus tier was previously $8, the ad-supported Disney Plus and Hulu bundle was $10, and the ad-supported bundle trio was $15.

YouTube wipes out thousands of propaganda channels linked to China, Russia, others
Google announced Monday the removal of nearly 11,000 YouTube channels and other accounts tied to state-linked propaganda campaigns from China, Russia and more in the second quarter. The takedown included more than 7,700 YouTube channels linked to China. These campaigns primarily shared content in Chinese and English that promoted the People's Republic of China, supported President Xi Jinping and commented on U.S. foreign affairs. Over 2,000 removed channels were linked to Russia. The content was in multiple languages that supported Russia and criticized Ukraine, NATO and the West. Google, in May, removed 20 YouTube channels, 4 Ads accounts, and 1 Blogger blog linked to RT, the Russian state-controlled media outlet accused of paying prominent conservative influencers for social media content ahead of the 2024 election. Tim Pool, Dave Rubin and Benny Johnson — all staunch supporters of President Donald Trump — made content for Tenent Media, the Tennessee company described in the indictment, according to NBC News. YouTube began blocking RT channels in March 2022, shortly after Russia invaded Ukraine. The active removal of accounts is part of the Google Threat Analysis Group's work to counter global disinformation campaigns and "coordinated influence" operations. Google's second quarter report also outlined the removal of influence campaigns linked to Azerbaijan, Iran, Turkey, Israel, Romania and Ghana that were found to be targeting political rivals. Some campaigns centered on growing geopolitical conflicts, including narratives on both sides of the Israel-Palestine War. CNBC has reached out to YouTube for further comment or information on the report. Google took down more than 23,000 accounts in the first quarter. Meta announced last week it removed about 10 million profiles for impersonating large content producers through the first half of 2025 as part of an effort by the company to combat "spammy content."

Google gets unexpected boost from ChatGPT
Google gets unexpected boost from ChatGPT originally appeared on TheStreet. For all the noise in AI, Google's () is looking to play a much quieter game. The tech juggernaut is focusing on scale, speed, and systems few see coming. 💵💰💰💵 Though the world watches chatbots and model wars, something a lot deeper is taking shape behind the scenes. This week, a subtle shift in how ChatGPT operates positions Google closer to the center of the AI action. It might not be loud or flashy, but if you know what to look for, it's a move that could potentially reshape the field. Google quietly builds AI cloud firepower, and it's starting to show Though its competition chases headlines, Google has been quietly racking up wins in the AI infrastructure game. Over the past three years, we've seen its global cloud market share climb from under 10% to roughly 12%. Though it's still behind Amazon Web Services' 32% and Microsoft's 23%, it's gaining fast. That bump helped drive a 28% gain in Google Cloud sales to $12.3 billion in Q1 2025, which is one of the tech giant's biggest growth engines. At the heart of Google's push are its custom Tensor Processing Units (TPUs), which are tailor-made to push deep-learning has shelled out billions into data centers, liquid cooling rigs, and AI-specific hardware to cater to the crushing demand for scalable AI compute. Perhaps Google's biggest edge is in its unmatched access to real-world data, from Search, Maps, YouTube, and Ads, giving it a vast training ground for next-gen models. Layer that up with tools like Vertex AI and pre-trained libraries, and developers can build and deploy a lot quicker and with less friction. That matters a ton where OpenAI's ChatGPT has become the gold standard of AI performance. With north of 800 million weekly users and billions of real-time prompts, any lag becomes news. Naturally, every cloud provider wants a piece of that load. Looking ahead, with global cloud spend heading towards $723 billion this year, Google's infrastructure stack looks increasingly competitive. More Tech Stock News: Elon Musk's xAI is already shockingly massive Rigetti shakes up quantum computing with bold advance Unsung AI stock pops after joining S&P 500 Its blend of custom chips, open-source AI tools, and strategic pricing is starting to shape the race. Google joins the ChatGPT cloud club, and that changes the AI playbook Google just landed a massive win in the AI infrastructure wars. ChatGPT maker OpenAI revealed it is using Google Cloud as one of its key providers, joining an illustrious list that already includes Microsoft, Oracle, and Nvidia-backed CoreWeave. It's a huge shift for OpenAI, which once relied mostly on Microsoft for its compute power. That exclusivity is gone, and with OpenAI diversifying, Google has stepped up to the move comes as OpenAI looks to ramp up compute capacity to meet rising demand for ChatGPT and its APIs. Google's infrastructure will now support OpenAI in countries like the U.S., the UK, Japan, the Netherlands, and Norway. By efficiently spreading its workloads across multiple vendors, OpenAI avoids over-dependence on any one player. It also gains pricing leverage and access to emerging chips, including Google's custom TPUs, reducing reliance on Nvidia's costly GPUs. It's a smart hedge, giving Google a foot in the door at a time when every major cloud provider is battling it out to be the go-to backbone for AI. Google already partners with Anthropic, though an OpenAI rival, and runs its own Gemini AI models. So this new deal complicates things with regard to resources, which will be split across AI customers. For Google, it's a major step toward narrowing the gap between AWS and Microsoft in terms of building cloud dominance. For OpenAI, it's another step toward resiliency. And for the AI race? It just got more layered and gets unexpected boost from ChatGPT first appeared on TheStreet on Jul 17, 2025 This story was originally reported by TheStreet on Jul 17, 2025, where it first appeared.

Jim Cramer on Alphabet: 'I Do Not Think It's the Leader'

Answering a caller's query about the company, Cramer said: 'Well, look, I do not think it's the leader, and I do think that it's going to be challenged because it has to balance the, basically, it's old Google business with a Gemini, and I don't think that's going to work out. But I also am, I was concerned about the Justice Department suit when I sold the stock. That was a mistake because I think all that would ever happen is they'd break it up and then you would get YouTube, you would get Waymo, and you'd get Search. So I don't like it, but I understand the long side thesis.' A user's hands typing a search query into a Google Search box, emphasizing the company's search capabilities. Alphabet Inc.
