Disney + will launch a cheaper subscription but with ads

Would you be willing to have a cheaper Disney+ subscription in exchange for watching ads ? Your answer is probably yes if they are not very uncomfortable and intrusive, and that is that there is a major change in streaming platforms that may mean that others join.

At a time when we are seeing constant price increases , knowing that a service of this type can offer a lower price is very good news for users, there we have several cases, the most recent is that of DAZN, which increases its cost for soccer.

Netflix could also raise its prices in 2022, as well as other platforms, but Disney + wants to go another way and follow the example of some services that are available in the United States, where a cheaper subscription is offered with the same content .

Same content with ads

What Disney + is planning to do is launch a cheaper subscription , with the entire content catalog that we know, but with the particularity of having ads, something that could make that price remain unchanged over time.

The Disney+ subscription costs right now in Spain €8.99/month or €89.90/month more expensive than other platforms, so the cheapest future subscription would be below that price, and in exchange the subscriber would have ads of some kind.

However, no further details have been given on the amount, how they will look or anything, only a date has been estimated for the appearance of this new subscription, there is talk of the end of 2022 for its arrival in the United States , to begin its international expansion in 2023.

That means that the new economic Disney+ subscription with ads that will accompany the current one could arrive in Spain in early 2023. In addition, a Disney+ official has mentioned in an interview that advertisers want to be part of the platform.

And the truth is that Disney+ has welcomed this desire because they believe it will be a very welcome decision for everyone, for users because they can have all the Disney+ content cheaper, and for advertisers because they can reach more audiences.

It seems that the economic subscription with Disney + ads will be able to coexist perfectly with the existing ones, so users will have full decision-making power in their contracting when it is available, where they can choose to have ads and pay less or pay a little more for a free service of advertising.
