Netflix price history in the US

Every Netflix price increase we found

Newest first. "Old price last seen" and "new price first seen" are the dates of the two archived captures either side of the change, so the change happened somewhere between them. Follow the links to see each capture.

Price by plan, period by period

Plans added, renamed or removed

• Ad-supported plan first listed, as "Basic with ads" at $6.99 ("available November 2022"): between Sep 30, 2022 and Oct 14, 2022.
• Homepage starts quoting the $6.99 ad plan as the lowest price: between Nov 3, 2022 and Nov 4, 2022.
• "Basic with ads" renamed "Standard with ads", price unchanged at $6.99: between Apr 23, 2023 and Apr 25, 2023.
• Extra member slots first listed, at $7.99 each a month: between Mar 30, 2023 and May 30, 2023.
• Basic ($9.99) dropped from the US plans page; the page doesn't say what happened to existing Basic members: between Jun 3, 2023 and Jul 19, 2023.

These dates come from archived captures, so they show when a change was first visible, not an official launch date.

What these dates mean

Netflix doesn't publish a dated list of its price changes. The dates here come from the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine, which saves copies of public web pages from time to time. For each change we found the last saved copy of a Netflix US page showing the old price and the first showing the new one. The real change happened between those two dates; when copies were saved days apart, that window is narrow, and when they were weeks apart, it's wider.

The prices are what Netflix showed to new US subscribers, per month, before tax. Netflix's help page has said since at least 2020 that "These prices apply to new members and will gradually take effect for all current members", so existing members usually moved to a new price later than these dates.

Before December 2016, the archived Netflix pages we found show only a starting price ("Plans from $7.99 a month"), not a price per plan, so the table starts there. Captures from 2019 to late 2020 of Netflix's help page don't contain prices, so for those years we used Netflix's homepage and sign-up page.

What to do when the price goes up

• See what the increase costs you over a year with the subscription price increase calculator.
• The ad-supported plan is the cheapest way to keep Netflix; compare all current plans on our streaming prices page, which also has a lineup calculator.
• If someone outside your home uses your account, an extra member slot is usually cheaper than a second account. The shared plan calculator splits the cost.
• Keep a note of what you pay and when it renews in the free subscription tracker so the next increase doesn't go unnoticed.

Other histories: Spotify and Disney+. Prices in the UK, Canada and Australia are on the local streaming prices page.
