Here’s the breakdown in the price increase:

On December 8, Disney+ with ads will cost $7.99 a month, which is the same price that Disney+ currently costs, without ads. On that date, the premium, ad-free version of Disney+ will now cost $10.99 a month or $109.99 a year. This is a $30 yearly increase.

In addition, Hulu will also increase their prices for both its ad-supported and ad-free tier beginning on October 10.

The ad-supported tier, which currently costs $6.99 a month ($69.99 a year) will now be $7.99 a month. The ad-free tier, currently $12.99 a month, will be bumped up to $14.99 a month. There is no yearly subscription option for this tier.

ESPN+ will also increase in price from $6.99 a month to $9.99 a month on August 23.

THR reports that the streaming bundle will also be adjusted in price, too.

The basic plan, that includes Disney+ with ads and Hulu with ads but no ESPN+, will cost $9.99 a month. Subscribers who want ESPN+ in their bundle will have to pay $12.99 a month for all three services with ads.
