Disney raises Disney+ and Hulu prices, the fourth price hike in as many years; the ad-free tiers will each cost $21.49/month, an increase of $2.50 (Rick Porter/The Hollywood Reporter)

Subscribing to a bundle is now almost exactly half the price of individual plans for each streamer.

Disney+ and Hulu have recently raised prices for the majority of their subscription plans, according to the latest update. The most significant hikes affect the ad-free "Premium" plans. The new pricing, effective immediately, sees an increase of around two dollars per month compared to the previous rates. Disney+ and Hulu Premium, which previously cost $18.99 per month, and the bundle priced at $19.99, now cost $20.99 each.

However, ad-supported plans are not entirely immune to the price hike. They have only seen a minor increase of $.50 per month. The bundle pricing for Disney+ and Hulu, which includes ads, remains unchanged at $12.99 per month. Disney's strategy seems to be encouraging users to opt for the combined bundle rather than subscribing to just one service, as the cost difference between the bundle and the standalone service is minimal at just $.50.
