A standard plan with ads for $6.99 per month that includes “all but a few movies and TV shows” due to licensing restrictions. Subscribers cannot download shows or movies.

Pricing (US Dollar) Standard with ads*: $6.99 / month. Standard: $15.49 / month (extra member slots** can be added for $7.99 each / month) Premium: $19.99 / month (extra member slots** can be added for $7.99 each / month)

Netflix is a subscription-based streaming service that allows our members to watch TV shows and movies on an internet-connected device.

Basic With Ads is functionally identical to Netflix's $10 Basic plan. You're capped at a 720p resolution for all of your playback options and are allowed to use only one device on the subscription at a time. (So no, you can't engineer some sort of weird multi-apartment Bridgerton marathon.)

Netflix Basic supports only one stream at a time. Conversely, Netflix Standard and Netflix Standard with Ads allow for two streams simultaneously. Best of all, Netflix Premium supports four streams at a time.

Netflix's cheapest tier, the new Basic-with-Ads, is launching with 720p resolution from the start – so the two Basic tiers (with and without ads) now feature the same video quality resolution.

Netflix pricing in India. * Mobile: Rs 149 per month (Watch on 1 phone or tablet at a time) * Basic: Rs 199 per month (Watch on 1 supported device at a time) * Standard: Rs 499 per month (Watch on 2 supported devices at a time) * Premium: Rs 649 per month (Watch on 4 supported devices at a time)

What's different: Video quality up to 720p/HD (now for both our Basic with Ads and Basic plans); average of 4 to 5 minutes of ads per hour; a limited number of movies and TV shows won't be available due to licensing restrictions, which we're working on; no ability to download titles.

Netflix's product development strategy Netflix has a Profit and margin-driven strategy to maximize adoption and retention. Netflix is the largest streaming service in the world. Netflix's core offer is a subscription including unlimited access to content. Its product strategy emphasizes margin growth.

Netflix is among the best streaming services; It scores a 4.0, placing it second in our overall rating of the best on-demand streaming services. It's earned this thanks to its large streaming library of both movies and TV shows, as well as its friendly pricing.

If you're on a tight budget or just watch Netflix occasionally, the basic plan (SD/480p) might be fine for you. But if you're like me and spend more time binge-watching shows than sleeping 😴, then the standard or premium plan might be worth the extra bucks.

Netflix Removes “Basic” Ad-Free Plan in U.S. and U.K. The company had previously removed the tier in Canada. Now the $10 per month plan in the U.S. is gone, as well.

Netflix has removed its $9.99 advertising-free “Basic” plan in the U.S. and U.K., a move that would push new subscribers to sign up for more lucrative subscription options for the streaming giant.

Standard taps out at full HD, or 1920 x 1080P, whereas Premium can hit ultra HD, or 4K, which is a resolution of 3840 x 2160P. Premium is also the only plan with Netflix “spatial audio,” which promises more immersive sound without the need for surround-sound speakers.

Standard ($15.49/mo.) is the same as Standard with ads, except it gets rid of those annoying ads and allows you the ability to add one extra member outside of your household. Premium ($19.99/mo.) can stream up to 4k video resolution, and allows for up to 6 simultaneous streams.

If you're on a tight budget or just watch Netflix occasionally, the basic plan (SD/480p) might be fine for you. But if you're like me and spend more time binge-watching shows than sleeping 😴, then the standard or premium plan might be worth the extra bucks.
