Disney Plus rate hikes confirmed, ad-supported tier coming December 2022
On Wednesday, Disney held its Q3 FY22 earning webcast where the world-wide entertainment company announced that its Disney Plus subscription service would see a price increase later this year. Hulu and ESPN Plus - two other Disney-owned streaming services - would also see rate increases.
Although Disney is increasing the pricing of its services (from USD7.99 to USD10.99 per month), it will be adding an ad-supported tier for USD7.99 per month. Hulu will go up from USD6.99 to USD7.99 for the ad-supported tier with the ad-free version going from USD12.99 to USD14.99. ESPN Plus is going from USD6.99 to USD9.99.

Disney Plus and Hulu's price increases are going into effect on December 8 - on the same day the Disney Plus ad-supported tier will launch. Meanwhile, ESPN Plus' new price change will go into effect much sooner, on August 23.
During the earnings call, Disney CEO Bob Chapek said that its ad tiers will have "lower ad load and frequency to ensure a great experience for viewers". Disney also won't run ads on kids' profiles.
