Netflix disclosed summertime subscriber gains, that surpassed industry analysts’ projections, signaling the video streaming service’s crackdown on password sharing, is converting former freeloaders into paying customers.
In an effort to bring in even more revenue, Netflix also announced it’s raising the price, for its most expensive streaming service by $2.00 to $23.00 per month in the U.S.
A 10% increase and its lowest-priced, ad-free streaming plan to $12.00, another $2.00 bump.
The $15.50 per month price, for Netflix’s most popular streaming option in the U.S., will remain unchanged, as will a $7.00 monthly plan that includes intermittent commercials.
