Only the basic tariff remains the same
Netflix is getting more expensive
The streaming provider Netflix increases the prices for all subscriptions except the basic tariff. New customers pay more immediately, for all people with an existing contract the service will only become more expensive in the next few months.
Netflix is becoming more expensive for some of its customers in Germany. However, the price increase does not affect the base rate, which will continue to be 7.99 euros per month. The standard tariff (including HD quality and reception on two devices at the same time) will cost EUR 12.99 per month in future, which is EUR 1 more. The premium tariff (Ultra HD, HDR and Dolby Atmos quality and reception on four devices) will cost 17.99 euros instead of 15.99 euros in the future.
The basic tariff, on the other hand, reproduces the image in SD quality and does not allow simultaneous streaming on more than one device. The tariffs come into effect today. New members will see the new price immediately. For existing customers affected, it will be introduced over the course of the next few months; according to Netflix, they will be notified at least 30 days before a change comes into force.
"We change prices from time to time to keep investing in great entertainment and to constantly expand the portfolio of films and series," said a Netflix spokesman. It is important for the streaming provider to offer "continuously increasing value" for users in Germany. "In the last two years, in addition to international productions, we have also massively increased our investments in German-speaking countries and brought more German content to the screen – we will continue to expand this in 2021." The spokesman added, "The price of our base tariff will remain and will not increase."
