Streaming is getting more expensive again. Disney is the latest media giant to raise prices for its streaming services, adding to a growing pattern across the industry. The increases come roughly a year after Disney’s last major streaming price hike.

Disney is raising the price of its ad-free Disney+ and Hulu bundle to $21.99 a month, up from $19.99, whereas the ad-free stand-alone plans are each rising to $21.49 per month, up from $18.99. The company is also increasing the price of its stand-alone ad-supported Disney+ and Hulu plans to $12.49 a month.
