The streaming giant hiked the monthly price of its basic plan to $12 from $10 and its premium plan to $23 from $20.

The last time Netflix raised prices in the U.S. was in January 2022.
“As we deliver more value to our members, we occasionally ask them to pay a bit more,” Netflix said while announcing third-quarter earnings results. “Our starting price is extremely competitive with other streamers and at $6.99 per month in the US, for example, it’s much less than the average price of a single movie ticket.”
