Last October, Netflix raised the Basic plan's price from $9.99 to $11.99 per month in the United States, alongside similar hikes in the UK and France. Netflix hasn't officially announced specific plans to hike subscription prices in 2024, but execs have said rate increases are on the table.

On the Q4 2023 earnings call, Netflix co-CEO Greg Peters acknowledged the company had "largely put price increases on hold" while it was rolling out a paid-sharing program after it removed the ability to share accounts. "We saw that as a form of substitute price increase. Now that we're through that, we're able to resume our sort of standard approach toward price increases.
