Hulu Drops Its Limited Ads Monthly Subscription by $2, But Raises Live TV $5

Its ad-free tier will now cost double the price of the basic plan

One week after Netflix revealed double-digit increases to each of its subscription plans, Hulu is responding with some price hikes—and one notable price drop—of its own.

Starting next month, the streaming service is reducing the monthly price for its basic, limited-commercial plan by $2, to $5.99 a month.

The ad-free plan will remain $11.99 a month, which means it will now cost double the price of Hulu’s basic plan to watch its content without commercials.

Meanwhile, Hulu’s Live TV offering, which includes a Hulu basic subscription along with its 60-plus live channels, is increasing $5, to $44.99
