How much does Netflix cost? Check out plans and prices

The question “How much does Netflix cost” has become increasingly controversial among users.

Is Netflix worth subscribing to?

When Netflix became popular in Brazil in mid-2011, it was seen as a major concern for famous TV channels, and especially for (expensive) cable TV packages.

This is because, through a simple subscription, it was possible to have access to several titles, including films, series, cartoons and much more.

And, unlike cable TV, a Netflix subscription is much cheaper, as it is still possible to find monthly plans for less than R$20.00.

But, if before this was a pioneering company in Brazil, with a market all to itself, now things are different.

This is because many competing companies have emerged, which brings more opportunities to the consumer.

So, deciding whether or not it is worth subscribing to Netflix depends on a few factors, such as:

Provision of service;
Available titles;
Price.

How much does Netflix cost? See what's included in each plan

Although competition has grown in recent years, Netflix remains one of users' favorite streaming platforms.

This is especially due to the titles available, in addition to our own productions, which tend to deliver high quality and spark public interest.

And, if you are part of this group that wants a subscription, you should know that there are 3 packages currently available. See how much Netflix costs in each of them:

Standard with ads

The standard plan with ads is Netflix's cheapest, costing R$18.90 per month.

With it you have access to connect up to 2 devices, including smartphone, tablet, TV or computer, and the resolution is up to 1080p (Full HD).

The reason this plan is cheaper is because ads appear at certain times, between episodes or during breaks.

Standard

The standard plan costs R$ 39.90 per month, and maintains the same specifications as the standard plan with ads, so the difference is due to the absence of ads for this plan.

Premium

Finally, the premium plan is the company's most complete, so for R$55.90 per month you have access to an ad-free plan with:

4k resolution + HDR;
Immersive sound;
Possibility of using 4 devices simultaneously and downloading on 6, including TV, tablet, computer and smartphone.

Does Netflix charge a cancellation fee?

Subscribing to Netflix plans is very simple, as you just need to access the website or app, create an account, choose the plan and include the desired payment method.

Once this is done, in just a few minutes you will be able to enjoy a variety of titles, including films, series, documentaries, cartoons and much more.

But is canceling that simple? After all, we know how much Netflix costs, but is there a cancellation fee?

Well, Netflix's slogan is “cancel whenever you want”, which leads us to believe that canceling is simple.

In fact, it is very easy to cancel the service, as there are no fees or rules that create obstacles.

So, if you no longer want the plan, just request cancellation and you won't have any headaches.

Screen sharing: a big controversy surrounding the streaming network

We have come to a topic that is Netflix's “Achilles heel”, which is the famous controversy over screen sharing.

For a long time, the company was against providing private passwords to other users.

And the reason is very simple: if the user provides their password, the company stops selling a subscription to anyone who doesn't have one.

Many users found the company's position abusive, as they considered that, when paying for the subscription, they should have the authority to use it as they see fit.

This controversy has now been silenced by the update of Netflix plans, which allows the simultaneous use of at least 2 devices for the cheapest plans.

So, especially for those who subscribe to Netflix for their family, this ends up being a good solution.

Remembering that you still have the option of subscribing to the Premium plan, which allows simultaneous use of up to 4 devices and downloading on 6.

What apps are good alternatives to Netflix?

Do you remember when we talked about Netflix no longer being the sole holder of the streaming market in Brazil?

We currently have several companies offering this proposal, many of them associated with cable TV channels, such as Max, HBO's streaming service.

So, if you encounter any problems or are not happy with Netflix's service, you will certainly find it easy to find competitors. Let's look at some options:

Disney+ and Star+

Both platforms are from Disney, and offer a variety of titles from Pixar, Fox, Marvel, among others.

You still have the option of subscribing to both together in Combo+, or separately, for prices ranging from R$ 33.90 to R$ 55.90.

The plan includes the possibility of watching on up to 4 devices simultaneously, and has no ads.

MAX

There is no denying that MAX has proven itself to be one of Netflix's biggest competitors.

With thousands of titles, the company has renowned productions in its catalog, such as Game of Thrones, Euphoria, in addition to delivering programming from the famous Cartoon Network.

Plans range from R$ 18.90 to R$ 39.90 and cancellation is free.

Pluto TV

Short on cash? Pluto TV is a streaming platform that promises to be 100% free, and delivers a variety of titles, including live channels, movies, series, cartoons and television shows.

The app is available for smartphones, TVs or computers, and you just need to download it, create an account and start watching.

It is worth mentioning that the platform has ads, but since it is free, it ends up being worth it.
