Netflix quietly hikes up prices for Australian users

The price of every Netflix plan in Australia just became a little more expensive.

Just over a year after hiking the cost for its three subscription tiers, the streaming giant has quietly updated its website again with new prices.

The standard Netflix plan with ads has jumped from $7.99 per month to $9.99, making it $24 more expensive per year.

The standard plan without ads has also risen by $2 per month from $18.99 to $20.99.

And the premium Netflix subscription plan, which is the most expensive, has been raised by $3 from $25.99 to $28.99 per month.

Along with new plan prices, Netflix has also increased the cost of adding an extra member to your plan.

It will now cost you $6.99 per month to add an extra user to the standard plan with ads, up from $5.99.

The cost of adding someone to the standard plan without ads will now cost $8.99, up from $7.99.

Combined with the price change in May 2024, the cost of the cheapest Netflix plan has risen by nearly 43 per cent in just over 12 months.

The ad-free Netflix plan has also risen by 25 per cent in the same timeframe.

Netflix axed its $12.99 basic plan in February this year, making it more expensive for users to enjoy streaming content without ads.

In a statement to 9news.com.au, a spokesperson for Netflix said: "We offer a range of prices and plans to meet a wide range of needs, and as we deliver more value to our members, we occasionally ask them to pay a bit more.

"We're adjusting prices in Australia with plans starting at $9.99AUD."
