- Peacock raised its streaming subscription prices over the summer, becoming one of the latest platforms to pass higher costs to subscribers.
- Apple TV also hiked its streaming subscription prices over the same summer period, joining the broader industry trend.
- Netflix raised pricing across all of its subscription tiers as of the end of March 2026.
- Netflix's Standard with Ads tier now costs $8.99 per month, a $1 increase from the prior price.
Why it matters: With Peacock, Apple TV, and Netflix all raising prices in the same window, subscribers face stacked increases across the services they likely bundle — and Netflix's own $1 bump on its cheapest tier signals that even ad-supported plans aren't insulated from the industry-wide price push.
