Disney+ plans, prices and bundles
Disney+ has two standalone plans in the US — Disney+ (With Ads) and Disney+ Premium — plus a long list of bundles with Hulu, ESPN and HBO Max. Both plans offer 4K UHD and HDR; Premium removes ads (except in some live programming), adds Dolby Atmos and downloads on up to 10 devices, and can be paid yearly.
- 4K on both plans. Disney+ lists up to 4K UHD and HDR on the plan with ads too.
- Downloads on Premium. On up to 10 devices.
- Yearly billing on Premium. Premium has an annual option; the plan with ads is monthly only.
- Bundles. With Hulu, ESPN Select or Unlimited, HBO Max, and NFL+ Premium.
- Extra Member add-on. For someone outside your household: one stream, one profile.

Affiliate links are labeled
If a link is an affiliate link, we say so right next to it.
Short summary
I’d pick Disney+ for its own catalog and for the bundles — if you also want Hulu or ESPN, a bundle is usually the reason to choose Disney+. For one person who doesn’t mind ads, the plan with ads already has 4K and HDR. Premium is worth it for no ads, Dolby Atmos, downloads and yearly billing.
4K even with ads
Both plans list up to 4K UHD and HDR.
No free trial
Disney+ says it doesn’t currently offer one.
- We recommend first:
- Families and fans of Disney, Pixar, Marvel and Star Wars — especially if Hulu or ESPN are on the list too.
- With caveats:
- Anyone who wants to try before paying — there’s no free trial.
Who Disney+ is for, and who it isn’t
The plan decides ads, audio and downloads; bundles decide value.
A good choice
If you also want Hulu or ESPN
Disney+ comes in bundles with Hulu, ESPN Select or Unlimited, and HBO Max.
For 4K on a budget
Even the plan with ads lists 4K UHD and HDR.
If you watch offline
Premium downloads on up to 10 devices.
A weaker choice
If you want a free trial
Disney+ doesn’t currently offer one.
If you want no ads at all
Even on Premium, ads are served in select live and linear programming.
If you want to prepay the plan with ads
Yearly billing is listed for Premium only.
Two standalone plans
Prices are in the block above. Bundles are listed separately.
| Plan | What it means in practice |
|---|---|
| Disney+ (With Ads) | What it means in practiceAds, up to 4K UHD & HDR, up to 5.1 audio, up to 4 devices at once. Monthly billing. |
| Disney+ Premium | What it means in practiceNo ads (ads still in select live and linear programming), up to 4K UHD & HDR, up to Dolby Atmos, up to 4 devices at once, downloads on up to 10 devices. Monthly or yearly. |
| Bundles | What it means in practiceWith Hulu; with Hulu and ESPN Select or ESPN Unlimited; with Hulu and HBO Max; with NFL+ Premium. |
If Disney+ is the only service you want, choose between ads and no ads; if you also pay for Hulu or ESPN, compare the bundles first.
Our score and what it’s made of
This is our own assessment based on checked facts. It isn’t an average of user reviews or the provider’s claim. Below — every criterion with its weight and source.
4,0
out of 5 · average of 2 plans · 12 of 12 criteria checked
The score is calculated from the criteria you see below: each criterion shows its weight, what exactly we found and where. Where we have the provider’s page, there’s a link with a check date; where the number comes from our catalog, we say so. “Not checked” means we don’t have the data and the criterion isn’t counted. “Provider doesn’t say” means we went through the provider’s pages but the information isn’t there; that criterion isn’t counted either. If you disagree with the weights — in the methodology you’ll see all the parts and can weigh them your own way. We don’t put app store ratings into structured data: they were collected on other websites, so they stay as visible text.

Disney+ alone, or a bundle with Hulu
Hulu subscribers can now watch most of the Hulu library inside the Disney+ app. If you’d use both, a bundle is usually the simpler choice.

|---|---|---|

Choose Disney+ alone
If you only watch Disney’s brands and don’t need Hulu’s series.
Choose the bundle
If you’d otherwise pay for Hulu separately — and watch both in one app.
Don’t keep paying for the old plan
Content
What you actually get to watch: catalog, languages, sports and events.
What Disney+ is, and what it isn’t
Disney+ is the home of Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars and National Geographic, with Hulu content available inside the app for bundle subscribers.
Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars
The core catalog on both plans.
Hulu inside Disney+
Select Hulu content plays in the Disney+ app if you have both — additional content only in the Hulu app.
ESPN
Through ESPN Select or ESPN Unlimited bundles.
Audio and subtitle languages
You can change the audio language and subtitles at any time while watching, on every supported device: open the settings menu (top right on web and mobile) during playback. Which languages exist depends on the title.
Captions for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing
What can be said for sure
Audio and subtitle language can be switched mid-playback on all supported devices.
What we don’t claim
That every title has the same set of languages — availability varies by title.
Live channels and live sports
Every Disney+ plan includes 24/7 ABC News Live, and some plans add local ABC news. Live sports from ESPN are on Disney+ for subscribers with an ESPN subscription — through a bundle, an add-on or a standalone plan. Without one, only a sampling of ESPN content is available.
- Find live content in the Live hub on any supported device.
- A Live Guide shows what’s on now and next.
- Recording or DVR isn’t available on Disney+.
Live channels always have ads
What US App Store reviewers say
Disney+ has 4.6 out of 5 stars from 2 million ratings on the US App Store. We also read the 50 most recent US reviews — 30 of them gave one or two stars. Recent reviews skew toward people with a problem, so read them as a list of what can go wrong, not as a verdict.
Ads
The most common complaint is ads — including from people who say they pay and still see them.
Technical problems
Recent reviews mention casting that stopped working, login trouble for the account owner and downloads that won’t play offline.
Content requests
Positive and neutral reviews often ask for specific older shows to be added.
Disney+ Premium removes ads from most content, but live programming can still have them.
Quality and devices
What picture and sound depend on, and where it works.

App ratings in the stores
These are ratings from store users. They rate how the app works; they say nothing about whether the subscription price is fair.
Ratings change constantly and often drop after price increases or removed features. We show the value from the check date together with the number of reviews, because 4.8 from two hundred and 4.5 from two million ratings aren’t the same thing.
Account and household
Profiles, downloads, sharing and how to cancel.
Profiles, screens and sharing
- Both plans: up to 4 devices at once for your household.
- Premium: downloads on up to 10 devices.
- Extra Member: one device at a time, one profile.
Hulu content has its own limit
Downloads
| Condition | How it works |
|---|---|
| Disney+ (With Ads) | How it worksDownloads not listed for this plan |
| Disney+ Premium | How it worksUp to 10 devices |
Sharing and the Extra Member add-on
Disney+ offers a paid Extra Member for someone outside your household. The extra member streams on one device at a time, has one profile, and gets the same content and features as the account holder.
How the household is determined
- Not available with ESPN Unlimited bundles, Disney+/Hulu/HBO Max bundles or bundles with NFL+ Premium.
Extra Member — Available
A way to share Disney+ with someone who doesn’t live with you: one stream at a time, one profile, the same content and features as the account holder. The price depends on your plan. It isn’t available with every bundle.
What to check in your account:
- • Whether your plan or bundle allows an Extra Member.
- • Whether you’re billed by Disney+ or a third party — pricing through partners may vary.
Canceling
Where you cancel depends on who bills you: Disney+ directly, an app store, or a partner. Bundles bought through Disney+ are managed in your Disney+ account.
Billed by Disney+
Cancel in your Disney+ account. A yearly Premium plan is paid up front.
Billed by someone else
If Apple, Google Play, Amazon or another partner bills you, cancel with them.
Deleting the app isn’t canceling
Plans and terms
Who each plan is for and what terms it requires.
Discounts: military members and students

Privacy, accessibility and transparency
What data you can control, how the accessibility features work, and what the provider discloses.
Accessibility features
Disney+ lists several features to help people with disabilities watch movies and series.

Not every title has every feature
What we don’t claim
Common claims about Disney+, next to what the US Help Center says.
Disney+ has a free trial.
Disney+ says it doesn’t currently offer a free trial.
4K is only on Premium.
Both plans list up to 4K UHD and HDR; Premium adds Dolby Atmos and downloads.
Premium has no ads at all.
Disney+ says ads are served in select live and linear programming, even on Premium.
If there’s no price on the page, the service isn’t available in the US.
Not necessarily. More often it means the provider doesn’t publish a fixed price or shows it only at checkout. Availability and a published price are two different things.
An annual plan always works out cheaper.
Cheaper than the monthly plan only if you use the whole period. You pay for the whole year up front, and when you cancel you usually don’t get the unused part back — so it’s a saving for people who already know they’ll stay all year.
Deleting the app cancels the subscription.
No. Deleting the app doesn’t stop the payments — only canceling in the account where you bought the subscription does. The app disappears, the bill stays.
Every plan looks the same in every country.
No. The list of plans, the features in the same plan and the available languages can differ. That’s why we don’t carry data from another country over to the US page.
The price on the pricing page is exactly what you’ll be charged.
Not always. US providers list prices before sales tax, and whether tax is added at checkout — and how much — depends on your state. On one VPN order page we saw a 6.25% sales tax added on top of the listed monthly price.
This list isn’t an accusation against the platform. If you find something on our page that doesn’t match the official source, write to us.

Every HBO Max plan can be paid yearly.
Final verdict
Disney+ in the US is two plans with 4K on both, and a wide range of bundles. Premium adds Atmos, downloads and yearly billing; bundles are what make Disney+ good value if you also want Hulu or ESPN.
Choose it if
You watch Disney, Pixar, Marvel or Star Wars — or want Hulu and ESPN in one bill.
Think twice if
You want to try it first — there’s no free trial.
Skip it if
You need zero ads everywhere — even Premium has ads in some live programming.
Netflix bills monthly only and has extra members on ad-free plans; HBO Max offers yearly billing on every plan and live sports on Standard and Premium.
Disney+ prices
Standalone plans as the Disney+ Help Center lists them for the US.
Which bundle fitsThe plan with ads is billed monthly; Premium can be billed monthly or yearly, with the yearly price paid up front. Disney+ notes that pricing through third-party billing partners may vary. The Extra Member add-on is priced separately for each plan.
Disney+ deals and discounts
We have no confirmed deals or promo codes for Disney+ right now. When the provider publishes one and we have checked it, the dates and terms will appear here — we never list made-up promo codes.
Disney+ free trial

How to pay less for Disney+

FAQ
How we work
This page is a comparison, and for every claim we say where it comes from.
The provider’s sources
The facts come from the Disney+ Help Center for the US (plans, prices, bundles and add-ons).
We don’t write prices into the text
Prices are in the price block, in the price list’s currency, with a source and a date.
Product facts are shared, market facts aren’t
How many screens a plan allows, how many devices an account works on, how many servers a network has — that doesn’t depend on the country, and on our pages those numbers are the same in every language; a separate tool watches over that. Price, promotions, availability and app language belong to the market, and we never carry them over from another country.
The provider’s list is the same for everyone
If a service publishes a list of countries or languages, we can say whether the US is on it — that list looks the same for everyone. Checkout, however, can look different for every account, so for amounts a provider shows only at checkout we write: check before you pay.
A shorter section doesn’t mean something is missing from the product
If a section here is shorter than for another service, it’s because the provider publishes less about it. We don’t fill the gap with generic wording just to make the page look more complete.
Three different answers
We distinguish between “none”, “the provider doesn’t say” and “we didn’t find it”. They’re three different situations — mixing them up would turn our own limitation into a flaw in the product.
A price without a source isn’t shown
If an amount has no source and date, we don’t show it. An empty spot is more honest than a number that only looks right — and prices change more often than articles get updated.
Data from the US market
This page isn’t a translation of another language version. Numbers from other countries don’t end up here: markets differ, and that’s exactly why this page exists.
Affiliate links are labeled at the link
If a link is an affiliate link, we say so right next to it. The commission doesn’t affect what we write — and you know about it before you click.
We fix errors openly
If we got something wrong, we fix it and note what changed. A silent correction would mean you never find out you once relied on wrong information.
If anything on this page has gone out of date, write to us — we’ll fix it and note the date.
The order in the comparison is decided by the type of service; commission size doesn’t affect it.
Some links to providers are affiliate links: if you subscribe through them, we may earn a commission. It affects neither the price nor the placement in the comparison. Affiliate links are always labeled next to the link itself.
