  "account": "The cost of streaming services continues to rise, with Disney+ and Hulu the latest to announce price increases. Disney+ and Hulu will now cost $21.49 each per month for the ad-free tier and $12.49 per month for the ad-supported tier. This represents a $2.50 and 50 cents increase respectively for the ad-free tier, and $0.50 increase for the ad-supported tier. The Disney+/Hulu bundle subscription has also increased, with the ad-free bundle now at $21.99 per month, and the ad-supported bundle at $12.99 per month.\n\nWhen comparing these price hikes to other major streaming platforms, Netflix, Apple TV, and HBO Max all raised their prices last year. Netflix increased its standard ad-free subscription to $19.99 per month and the ad-supported plan to $8.99 per month. Apple TV's annual plan increased to $119, making it the cheapest ad-free option at under $10 per month. HBO Max raised its Standard ad-free plan to $18.49 per month and the Premium tier to $22.99 per month.\n\nInterestingly, Disney offers a Disney+, Hulu, and HBO Max bundle, which may be the best deal if you plan to watch content from all three platforms. The ad-supported bundle costs $21.99 per month, while the ad-free bundle costs $34.99 per month. While these price increases may be a concern for some, it's important to consider the value each platform provides and how much you're willing to spend on streaming services.",
