So many bundles to choose from
The offer comes amid an influx of streaming services offering ad-free along with ad-supported options. But streaming bundles are quickly becoming the new norm as the number of streaming options grows along with their costs.
Streamers that have boosted prices in the last year include Netflix, which hiked monthly prices of its basic plan by $2 last October to $11.99, and the premium plan by $3, to $22.99. Also last year, a Discovery Plus ad-free subscription rose to $8.99, while Disney Plus' ad-free version increased to $13.99, from $10.99.
Meanwhile, Cable and internet companies — including Charter Spectrum, which is planning a streaming bundle with TelevisaUnivision, and T-Mobile, which is adding Hulu to its streaming bundle offerings — are working overtime to attract and retain new customers in the ever-changing landscape.
More reasons to bundle
Several studies say that bundling can help subscribers save but a new report also says that bundling could help with something else: fatigue. According to a recent study by Bango, a provider of software for bundling subscriptions, customers are growing tired of having to manage myriad subscriptions, with some even saying they would consider leaving them altogether.
As previously reported, there are a number of other ways to save on your monthly subscription costs. They include rotating your subscriptions, seeking out free trials and looking into pay-per-view options to watch one program you really want to see without committing to an entire subscription.
