Since its inception in 2007, Netflix has solidified its position as a leading streaming platform, delivering top-tier shows and films like Stranger Things, Squid Game, and Black Mirror, among countless others.
While Netflix remains a household name, recent changes have shifted the landscape. The platform has tightened restrictions on account sharing beyond households, prompting many to reassess their subscriptions. With a growing array of competing streaming services and bundles, subscribers are increasingly selective to manage rising monthly costs. If you’re considering adjusting or canceling your Netflix plan, the pricing details below can guide your decision.
Whether you’re a first-time subscriber, returning for a must-watch show or movie, setting up your own account after years of sharing, or exploring your options, this guide details Netflix’s current plans to simplify your decision-making process.

As of April 2025, Netflix offers three tiers—Standard with Ads, Standard, and Premium—each with distinct features and pricing. Below, we provide a concise overview from Netflix, followed by a detailed breakdown. The Basic plan, previously priced at $9.99/month, was discontinued for new or returning users in July 2024, though existing subscribers can retain it until they switch plans or cancel.
Netflix ushered in 2025 with another price increase, effective from January 21, 2025. For details on adding extra members to your subscription, visit the Netflix help page for a comprehensive breakdown.

Launched on November 3, 2022, in multiple countries including the US, Australia, and the UK, the Standard with Ads plan was long-awaited by budget-conscious subscribers.
Priced at $7.99/month, this ad-supported tier includes nearly all movies, TV shows, and unlimited mobile games like Oxenfree and Spiritfarer. It supports streaming on two compatible devices at once, ideal for shared households. Content streams in 1080p (Full HD), an upgrade from the 720p offered in the former Basic plan.
The Standard plan is Netflix’s most popular choice, balancing cost and features for households with multiple viewers.
At $17.99/month, it’s $10 more than the ad-supported tier but offers significant upgrades. It provides ad-free access to Netflix’s full library in 1080p (Full HD), delivering crisp visuals for most viewers. The plan supports streaming and downloading on two devices simultaneously, making it ideal for shared use. You can also add one extra member outside your household for $6.99/month, a practical solution given Netflix’s stricter account-sharing policies.
Extra members use their own Netflix account and password, with you covering the cost—a great option for supporting family or gifting a subscription.
The Premium plan, Netflix’s top-tier offering, delivers the platform’s best features for a premium price.
At $24.99/month, it provides ad-free access to the entire library in up to 4K (Ultra HD), perfect for those with cutting-edge TVs. It supports streaming on four devices at once, ideal for large households or groups. Downloads are available on up to six devices, ensuring flexibility for offline viewing. The plan also includes Netflix spatial audio, which delivers immersive 3D sound without requiring advanced audio equipment.
Additionally, you can add up to two extra members outside your household for $7.99/month each, enhancing accessibility for friends or family.
