Peacock is the latest streaming service to increase prices, details here
Another streaming service is getting more expensive. Peacock has raised the prices of all three subscription tiers, with increases of up to $3 per month or $30 per year. Peacock’s latest increase makes Premium Plus a $20 monthly subscription. However, Apple’s discounted bundles appear to remain unchanged for now.
Streaming platform Peacock has implemented price increases across all of its subscription tiers. The Premium Plus plan, which is mostly ad-free and supports downloads, now costs $19.99 per month or $199.99 per year, up from $16.99 and $169.99 respectively. The entry-level Select plan has risen to $8.99 per month or $89.99 per year, previously priced at $7.99 and $79.99.
Peacock Premium, the standard subscription, has increased from $10.99 to $12.99 per month and from $109.99 to $129.99 annually. This constitutes a significant 18% increase for the Premium tier. These changes are effective immediately for new and returning subscribers, while existing annual subscribers will see their rates begin to change starting September 17.
The new prices mean that annual plans are equivalent to paying for about 10 months at the old monthly rate. Peacock's latest price hike comes at a time when multiple entertainment services, including Apple's Apple Music and Apple One, have also raised their prices. The move allows Peacock to remain competitive in the market and deliver a wider variety of unique content across all genres, according to the streaming service.
