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.
