Disney’s streaming service now supports the package with ESPN + and the ad-free version of the sister Hulu service.
Initially announced during Disney’s Investor Day event in December, Disney + now offers the option to include the top tier of Hulu along with ESPN + for $ 19 a month, while the package typically costs $ 13 a month with Hulu advertising. The new ad-free package option was launched late last week, the company told Gizmodo. Individually, Disney + costs $ 7 a month, ESPN + $ 6 a month, and Hulu, advertising, charges $ 6 a month, which means you’ll actually get a third free service by grouping all three.
Technically, these grouping options were already available through Hulu. In December, the company confirmed to Gizmodo that package subscribers could get Hulu without ads with Disney + and ESPN + if they subscribed through the Hulu website instead of the Disney service. Incoming subscribers will have to go through Hulu if they want additional options included with the package, such as Hulu with live TV (which also has options for Hulu compatible with ads or without ads).
Please note, however, that these prices will change. Starting next month, the Disney + package with Hulu, advertising, is expected to increase by $ 14 a month, according to the company announced in December. Only Disney + will also get a price jump of $ 7 to $ 8 starting March 26 (and up to $ 80 a year starting at $ 70). There is still no official word on what the ad-free version of the package will cost when changing prices, a spokesman told Gizmodo this week.
Despite its new pricing, Disney will match up for three services with what Netflix subscribers pay for just one according to the company’s standard plan. When it comes to getting the most out of your dollar (price increases are taken into account), the Disney + package still offers one of the best general options for the money.
