With a vast library of TV shows, movies, and original programming, Netflix is one of our picks for the best streaming services you can sign up for. But like its competitors, the price of Netflix varies depending on which subscription tier and features you choose.
Netflix pricing starts at $7 a month, but following a Netflix price hike in October 2023, you now have to pay $23 a month to get the best video quality without ads. And due to Netflix's recent crackdown on password sharing, it now costs an additional $8 a month to add an extra user to your account in the US. The fee will only apply to users who live outside of an account holder's household.
To help you decide which Netflix plan is right for you, we've put together a guide detailing how much Netflix charges for each of its membership tiers, along with details on each plan's features.
How much Netflix costs a month
In the US, Netflix currently offers three streaming plans: Standard with Ads, Standard, and Premium, ranging from $7 to $23 monthly.
It also costs more to add another user to a subscription plan. Standard and Premium subscriptions are the only plans that offer extra member additions. Standard allows one extra member slot for $8 a month. Premium offers up to two extra member slots for $8 each monthly.
Here's a breakdown of Netflix prices for each plan.
Subscription plan | Monthly price | With $7.99 monthly charge for an extra member | Streaming quality | Simultaneous streams | Access to content | Download support |
