Disney+ has launched a summer promotion that reduces the cost of its first six months across all three subscription tiers, making it cheaper than Netflix's basic ad-supported plan. The deal brings the standard with ads plan down to £4.99 per month, equivalent to roughly 16 pence per day, compared to Netflix's standard with ads plan at £5.99 per month.
Three Plans, Significant Savings
The standard plan with ads is available for £4.99 per month for the first six months, after which it rises to £5.99. The standard plan without ads is reduced to £7.99 for the initial six months, then £9.99 thereafter. For those wanting the premium experience, the premium plan costs £10.99 per month for six months, then £14.99. The key difference between standard and premium is the number of concurrent streams: premium allows four streams simultaneously, while standard permits two.
Content Library and Recent Additions
Disney+ hosts the Marvel and Star Wars franchises, along with acclaimed series such as Paradise and The Bear. The platform also features the classic Disney catalogue including Toy Story, Cinderella, and 101 Dalmatians. Recent additions include The Devil Wears Prada 2 and Avatar: Fire and Ash, as well as The Testaments, a series based on Margaret Atwood's bestselling novel.
Comparison with Other Streaming Services
Netflix's standard with ads plan starts at £5.99 per month. Amazon Prime Video costs £8.99 monthly, offering shows like Clarkson's Farm, Young Sherlock, and Jack Ryan. Apple TV+ is priced at £9.99 per month and features Severance, Silo, Widow's Bay, Slow Horses, and Ted Lasso.
