Netflix Phases Out $11.99 Basic Plan: New Subscription Options Revealed

Netflix discontinues its $11.99 ad-free plan, introducing $6.99 ad-supported, $15.49 standard HD, and $22.99 premium Ultra HD plans. With 8 million new subscribers in Q2 2024 and revenue growth, Netflix plans to debut video games and focus on ad-supported models for better user experience.

The shift responds to the surge in ad-supported sign-ups due to password-sharing controls. Netflix aims for critical ad subscriber mass by 2025 for revenue growth, as competition like Disney+ and others loom.

Microsoft's post-merger price actions face FTC scrutiny, highlighting concerns over consumer impact, contrasting Netflix's strategic shifts.

Netflix surpassed subscriber targets in Q2 with 8M new sign-ups, boosted by password-sharing crackdown. Q3 subscriber gains may dip due to crackdown timing. Revenue for the quarter hit $9.56B, in line with predictions. Ad-supported tier growth and new bundles like Comcast's 'StreamSaver' bolstered revenue outlook.

Netflix's stock price has risen 33.5% year-to-date, nearing its all-time high of $697.49. Ad-supported subscriptions grew by 34%. Netflix expects advertising subscriptions to increase in 2025, contributing meaningfully to revenue. In Turkey, the cheapest subscription is priced at 149.99 TL, while the most expensive is 300 TL.

Netflix gains eight million new subscribers

Netflix has gained eight million new subscribers in the second quarter, surpassing expectations. The company now has a total of 277.7 million subscribers. Netflix also exceeded Wall Street's revenue expectations, reaching $9.56 billion. Additionally, the company reported a net profit of $2.15 billion. This growth comes as Netflix continues to crack down on password sharing, and it has seen increases in previous quarters as well. The streaming service plans to release new games, stream NFL games on Christmas 2024, redesign its interface, and provide more information about its content. The $6.99 monthly ad-supported service is responsible for four million of the new accounts. Netflix has also experienced notable growth in the Asia-Pacific region, adding 2.8 million new accounts, and closed the first half of the year with 17 million new accounts, its best first half since 2020.
