Will Netflix raise the price in 2022?

To the question of whether Netflix could raise the price in 2022 , there is no official answer that indicates yes, but there is some evidence that indicates that there would soon be a new cost increase in all platform subscriptions, let’s go with the details .

Lately, users of various streaming platforms have had to face price increases in subscriptions and the beginning of 2022 could bring more than one. With regard to Netflix, it seems that there will be no exception and it will surely also increase costs .

And it is that we do not have to look back much, if we go to the middle of January of this year to see one of the latest information that pointed to Netflix raising the price of its subscriptions, although it was a fact that did not affect to Spain.

Price rises in the US

The truth is that the price of the different Netflix subscriptions has recently risen in the United States between 1 and 2 dollars, something that we already announced last January, so it seems quite likely that they will also rise in Spain, although not in the short term. .

Therefore, it seems like a matter of a short time before Netflix decides to raise prices in Spain as it has done on a previous occasion, although this would be the first increase of 2022, but it already went up in 2021 and in fact it earned a complaint from Facua.

Right now the price of Netflix subscriptions in Spain is like this:

  1. Basic plan: €7.99/month.
  2. Standard plan: €12.99/month.
  3. Premium plan: €17.99/month.

These prices have been up since October, and it is the last time that the costs of Netflix subscriptions in Spain were raised, when the price of the basic option was maintained, but the standard and premium plans rose by €1 and €2. respectively.

Everything indicates that Netflix could raise prices again in a similar way , you will find out if it does so because as a subscriber to the service you will receive an email 30 days before the new prices become effective, being able to choose whether to unsubscribe from Netflix or change the subscription .

A possible increase in costs for Spanish users collides with the decision that the streaming platform has made in other countries, that of offering Netflix for free in other countries, fulfilling a series of very specific conditions that we already saw at the time.

Disney + has raised the price

If we look at Netflix’s competition, we also find a similar decision in this case. The one that has already raised the price in 2022 is Disney + , a rise that became effective just a few weeks ago, justified by the availability of more content for enjoyment.

Specifically, they raised the monthly and annual plan . In favor of Disney +, we recently learned that they would be willing to offer a cheaper subscription with one condition, although for this we will have to wait for the end of 2022 or the beginning of 2023.

Amazon Prime Video could follow the same path as Disney + and probably Netflix, as we are counting, it would also be to make subscriptions more expensive for different reasons, although the subscription gives you access to a greater diversity of services.

As for HBO Max, although no increase has been announced, they could also make the decision to raise prices in 2022, but nothing is known about it either. Be that as it may, it seems that Netflix and the competition will have no choice but to raise prices in Spain soon.
