If the proposed movie tariffs go through, it's likely that the per-subscriber cost for Netflix, Disney+, and Prime Video would rise.


Here are current monthly per-subscriber costs for the major streaming platforms, based on recent 2025 pricing averages:

Platform

Monthly Cost (Ad-Free)

Annual Cost

Netflix

$17.99–$24.99 

$215.88–$299.88 

Disney+

$13.99–$15.99 

$167.88–$191.88 

Prime Video

$8.99–$14.99 

$107.88–$179.88 

  • Netflix’s premium ad-free plan costs $24.99 per month, while the standard ad-free plan is $17.99 per month.

  • Disney+ premium (no ads) is priced at $13.99–$15.99 per month, with bundles pushing higher depending on Hulu or ESPN+ inclusions.

  • Prime Video included with a full Prime membership is $14.99 per month, or $8.99/month standalone.


If platforms pass along an estimated additional $2–$5 per subscriber monthly due to the new tariffs, revised projected costs could look like this:

Platform

Revised Monthly Cost

Increase Per Month

Netflix

$19.99–$29.99 

$2–$5 

Disney+

$15.99–$20.99 

$2–$5 

Prime Video

$10.99–$19.99 

$2–$5 


Platforms most reliant on international content (Netflix, Disney+) are likely to lean toward the higher end of increases, while Prime Video may keep hikes smaller, especially when bundled with Prime. Each subscriber could expect to pay $2–$5 more per month for ad-free tiers of Netflix, Disney+, and Prime Video, with prices varying by plan and degree of international content affected. That doesn't help American consumers or viewers, and it discourages film production from any U.S.-based film company.
