Netflix confirms it’s raising prices again

Netflix has quietly hiked its prices once again. The streaming giant’s most affordable, ad-supported tier now costs $8.99 per month, up from the previous $7.99 monthly subscription fee, Netflix confirmed to TechCrunch in an email. The standard plan without ads also now costs $19.99 per month, a $2 increase from the previous $17.99 subscription fee, while the premium plan is also going up by $2 and will now cost $26.99 per month. It’s also getting more expensive to add extra viewers outside of your household. To add a user to an ad-supported plan, it now costs $6.99 instead of $7.99. If you’re adding an extra viewer to an ad-free plan, it now costs $9.99 as opposed to $8.99.
