The cost of Hulu + Live TV is now the same as YouTube TV, which also offers live TV. The irony of these streaming services is that it would offer a cheaper cable replacement, but now have essentially become competing cable services themselves.However, streaming services appear to be raising prices across the board as Netflix also recently announced a price hike to its standard and premium plans in the U.S.
These price increases come at the heels of a record year for streamers, who’ve seen their subscription numbers rise during the COVID-19 pandemic. Hulu recently reported a 40 percent year-over-year increase to its Live TV subscription. At 4.1 million subscribers, Hulu is outpacing YouTube TV’s 3 million subscribers. Matt T.M.
