price hikes have become a holiday tradition for Hulu live but for 2022 Hulu Live's price increase
is part of much bigger changes and they affect multiple streaming services let's talk about
it and keep watching for ways to save later on in this video so here's what's happening when
Disney announced the launch of an ad supported version of Disney plus it laid out new pricing
and this affects lots of customers Standalone subscribers of Disney Plus Hulu and ESPN plus
people who subscribe to the Disney bundle and Hulu live subscribers since the Disney bundle
is included with the live TV service first I want to focus on the impact for Hulu live subscribers
these changes take effect after December 8th and that's when the Disney plus plan with ads
launches if you sign up for Hulu live after that date you'll have two subscription options basic
and premium the basic plan is 69.99 a month and the basic plan includes ad supported versions
of Disney plus regular Hulu as well as ESPN plus but then there's the Premium plan this one jumps
to 82.99 a month and the Premium plan includes Disney plus and regular Hulu without ads as well
as ESPN plus with ads there's no ad-free ESPN plus option but what about existing subscribers
before the price change this is what Hulu live has offered more than 75 live channels add free
Disney Plus Hulu basic with ads and ESPN plus with ads after December 8th this will be known as the
legacy plan existing Hulu live subscribers can keep ad-free Disney plus but it's going to cost
an extra five dollars a month and to be clear new subscribers will only have two Hulu live options
after December 8th those are basic and premium Legacy is for existing customers only you can save
yourself a little bit of money by going with that basic plan but you're gonna have to sit through
ads on Disney plus as well as Hulu and of course the live TV channels also feature a whole lot of
ads paying more for ad free that's the overall theme with the price increases to the Standalone
services and the Disney bundle as well after December 8th Disney plus will cost 7.99 a month
with ads and 10.99 a month without ads plus only the ad free plan will have an annual option there
are also changes to regular Hulu not the live TV version and these take effect October 10th and
it'll be interesting to see whether Hulu brings back its Black Friday deal of 99 cents a month
for 12 months or maybe that goes to 1.99 or 299 let me know what you think down below and changes
to the pricing for the Disney bundle will all take place after December 8th when the Disney plus plan
with ads is available some of you have expressed an interest in the Disney bundle but without ESPN
plus it's coming you can get get Disney plus and Hulu with ads for 9.99 a month or at ESPN Plus
for the full Disney bundle three dollars a month more the Disney bundle is following the basic and
premium model for new subscribers you see the prices listed here and there's also a legacy
plan available for existing subscribers a lot of numbers and a lot to take in I'll have a breakdown
of the new pricing in the description but right now let's focus on some ways to save if you're
willing to watch commercials you'll save a lot of money over time with the ad supported plans
the entire Disney bundle with ads 12.99 a month I think that's a good value limited time deals
may slow down but they will not go away altogether there is just too much competition Hulu typically
offers a deal on Black Friday I mentioned that earlier but I'm also going to be watching for
deals on Standalone Disney plus around the holidays when that new ad supported plan launches
take a minute to check with existing providers like your cell phone carrier or your credit card
company for example Verizon includes the Disney bundle with some post-paid unlimited plans and
my American Express card offers six percent back on streaming services and a special discount for
people who have the Disney bundle another way to save is to be on the lookout for Hulu gift
cards that are sold at a discount I also like to redeem my fetch rewards points for Hulu gift
cards with this app you earn free gift cards by uploading receipts from grocery stores and
other retailers you can get a sign up bonus by using my link it's in the description and I've
got a deal alert for you if you're watching this video before October 5th you can save 60 on Hulu
live over three months lock in the savings before the price goes up thanks for watching
