The unthinkable has happened. Peacock (my favorite streaming service) has increased its prices — and it’s the biggest price hike to date.
It feels like déjà vu, doesn’t it? In July 2024, Peacock’s second ever price hike took effect ahead of the summer Olympics, much to the dismay of subscribers. Just a little over a year later, here we are again. This time around, Peacock Premium (the ad-supported tier) has made the jump from $7.99 to $10.99 per month, while the Premium Plus (ad-free) tier went from $13.99 to $16.99 per month. Annual subscription prices also made a massive leap from $79.99 per year to $109.99 per year with ads and from $139.99 to $169.99 per year without.
The newest pricing officially makes Peacock’s ad-supported and ad-free tiers more expensive than Netflix, Disney+, HBO Max, and Paramount+. Yikes.
