US list prices before sales tax. Everything you enter stays in this browser: nothing is sent or stored.
This site tracks the US list prices of 16 subscriptions, 48 plans in all: streaming video, live TV, music, Apple's bundles and the delivery and warehouse memberships of Amazon, Walmart, Costco and Sam's Club. Each price was read on the service's own US page on November 1, 2026, or in the latest Internet Archive copy of that page when it could not be read live. Each change since 2022 is dated by two copies of the same page, the last one with the old price and the first with the new, or by the company's own filing. The record holds 90 changes, and 33 increases in 2026 alone. The calculator above adds up any list of plans for a year: monthly or annual billing, the months you keep each service, and what switching to annual plans would save. Its starting list, Netflix with ads, Disney+ with ads, Spotify, Prime and Costco, costs $658.52 a year paid monthly, at list prices before sales tax.

What the main video services cost
The on-demand video services now nearly all sell two kinds of plan: one with ads, around ten dollars a month, and one without, from about fifteen to more than twenty-five dollars for the top tiers. The table gives the cheapest and the most expensive plan of each service tracked here, as listed on its US page. Each name opens a page with every plan, what it includes according to the service, and its price history.
| Service | Cheapest plan | Top plan |
|---|---|---|
| Netflix | Standard with ads, $8.99 | Premium, $26.99 |
| Disney+ | Disney+ (with ads), $12.49 | Disney+ Premium (no ads), $21.49 |
| Hulu | Disney+, Hulu Bundle (with ads), $12.99 | Hulu Premium + Live TV, with Disney+ Premium and ESPN Select, $109.99 |
| HBO Max | Basic with Ads, $10.99 | Premium, $22.99 |
| Peacock | Select (with ads, no sports or movies), $8.99 | Premium Plus (no ads), $19.99 |
| Paramount+ | Essential (with ads), $8.99 | Premium (with Showtime, no ads except live TV), $13.99 |
| Apple TV | Apple TV (no ads), $14.99 | single plan |
Disney sells most of its catalog in bundles. The Hulu page lists the Disney+ and Hulu bundle at $12.99 with ads, the bundle with HBO Max at $21.99, and Hulu + Live TV at $99.99. Live TV is a separate price level: YouTube TV costs $82.99 a month for its main plan. The comparison tool sorts every plan by price, and the bundles page sets each bundle against the same services bought one by one.
Music and Apple's bundles
For one person, Apple Music costs $11.99 a month, Spotify Premium $12.99 and YouTube Premium $15.99, the last one also removing ads from YouTube. Spotify's Family plan, $21.99, covers up to six accounts at one address. Apple One starts at $21.95 for Apple Music, Apple TV, Apple Arcade and iCloud+ storage, less than Apple TV at $14.99 and Apple Music bought together. The music comparison and the family plans page go plan by plan.
Memberships: Prime, Walmart+, Costco and Sam's Club
Amazon Prime costs $14.99 a month or $139 a year, the price Amazon set in February 2022 and announced in its results release filed with the SEC. Walmart+ costs $12.95 a month or $98 a year and includes a choice of Peacock Premium or Paramount+ Essential. The warehouse clubs charge by the year only: Costco $65 for Gold Star and $130 for Executive since September 1, 2024, and Sam's Club $60 for Club and $120 for Plus, which now includes Walmart+. Each upgrade tier returns up to 2% of purchases; the warehouse club comparison gives the spending at which each pays for itself, and the Prime and Walmart+ comparison sets the two delivery memberships side by side.
How prices moved since 2022
The record on this site counts 90 changes of list price, every one of them an increase. They came in rounds. Netflix moved all its plans in early 2025 and again in 2026; Disney raised Disney+ and its bundles every autumn from 2024 to 2026; Peacock raised Premium four times between the summer of 2023 and that of 2026, from $4.99 to $12.99; Spotify added one dollar to Individual in 2023, 2024 and 2026. Apple TV went from $6.99 in 2023 to $14.99, the largest rise in share of any plan here. Among memberships, Amazon raised Prime in 2022, Costco in 2024 and Sam's Club in 2022 and 2026.
In 2026 alone, 33 plan increases appear, at YouTube Premium, Disney+, Hulu, Peacock, Apple TV, Apple Music, Apple One, Sam's Club, Netflix, Paramount+ and Spotify. The increase register lists every one, newest first, with links to the two copies of the official page that frame it.

How each price is dated
A price page shows today's price and nothing else; services rarely publish a history. To date a change, this site reads copies of the same official page kept by the Internet Archive, a non-profit library that stores public web pages at regular intervals. When one copy shows the old price and the next one the new price, the change took place between those two dates, and the site says exactly that, never a day it cannot prove. Each date in the history tables links to the copy it was read in, so anyone can check it.
Where the company itself announced a change in a document filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the filing is used instead: Amazon's release of February 3, 2022 for Prime, Costco's release of July 10, 2024 and its annual report filed in October 2026 for its fees. Where a price could not be read, the site says so rather than repeat a figure from elsewhere: the price of Hulu on its own, and the annual price of Paramount+, are marked as not confirmed.
Ways to pay less
Four levers come back on every page. An ad plan costs less than the ad-free plan of the same service, by $11 a month at Netflix; the ads page gives the gap for each service. An annual plan, where one is sold, costs about ten months of the monthly price; the annual plans page lists them. Keeping fewer services at a time and switching between them saves the price of each month dropped; the rotation calculator does the sum. And reduced plans exist for students, young adults and people on government assistance; the student page lists those on the official pages read.
Dividing a price by your viewing time is the simplest test of whether a subscription is worth keeping. The cost per hour calculator takes any plan and your monthly hours.
What this site does not do
It does not sell subscriptions, carry affiliate links or take payment from any service: links go to each service's own price page or to an archived copy of it. It is not affiliated with any company it names, and brand names are used only to identify the services. It does not rank services on quality, and it does not predict increases. It does not show introductory offers, which change often and depend on eligibility, only the regular list price. Prices are before sales tax, which varies by state.

How this site works
Every price lives in one data file, with the copy of the official page where it was read; each page reads its figures from that file, so a new price changes every page that shows it. The method page lists every page read, with its address and date, and explains the limits of the dating.

Questions people ask
How much do Americans pay for streaming each month?
This site does not publish an average, because it would need household data it does not have. What it can say is what the list prices add up to: Netflix Standard with ads, Disney+ with ads and Spotify Premium Individual cost $34.47 a month together, or $413.64 a year. The calculator adds your own list.
Which subscriptions went up in 2026?
In the copies of official pages read for this site: YouTube Premium, Disney+, Hulu, Peacock, Apple TV, Apple Music, Apple One, Sam's Club, Netflix, Paramount+ and Spotify. That is 33 plan increases in ten months, counting each plan of a service separately. The increase register dates each one with the last copy of the page that showed the old price and the first that showed the new one.
Where do the prices come from?
From each service's own US page, read on November 1, 2026. When the live page could not be read from this site's location, the latest Internet Archive copy of the same page is used and named as such. Amazon's and Costco's increases are taken from the companies' filings with the SEC.
Are these prices with tax?
No. They are list prices before sales tax, as the services show them on their US pages. Several states and some cities tax digital subscriptions or streaming services, so the amount on your bill can be higher than the price here. The services add the tax at checkout according to your billing address.
Is this site affiliated with Netflix, Amazon or Costco?
No. Radif Partners publishes it independently. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or paid by any service it lists, and it has no affiliate links: a link to a service goes to its own price page, or to an archived copy of it.
Does the calculator store what I enter?
No. It runs entirely in your browser, sends nothing to any server and keeps nothing once you leave the page. The site uses no account and no form. The plans it offers are read from the same data file as every page, so its prices match those shown in the tables.
