Peacock just raised prices again — here's how it stacks up against Netflix, Paramount+ and more
Peacock just announced another price hike. Here's how its three plans compare to competitors like Netflix and Paramount+.
Peacock recently increased its prices once again, raising rates for all of its plans by a minimum of $1 starting August 18. The Select plan jumps from $7.99 to $8.99 per month, Premium increases from $10.99 to $12.99 monthly, and Premium Plus hikes to $19.99. The company claims this is to remain competitive, but critics question whether the new prices justify the value.
Peacock Select, aimed at viewers of Real Housewives, provides limited content for $8.99. In comparison, Netflix's Standard with ads and HBO Max's Basic with Ads offer more for less. Paramount+ Essential, at $8.99, includes movies, original shows, and live sports. Prime Video, included with Amazon Prime, offers similar content for the same price.
Disney+ and Hulu, at $11.99, provide full libraries for a slightly higher cost. Peacock Premium, the mid-tier option, remains competitive despite its price increase but competes with entry-level plans from other services. Premium Plus, the niche product, offers even less value at the increased $19.99 price point compared to its competitors.
