The price increase will go into effect today for new subscribers. Existing subscribers can expect to see the increase from their next billing cycle on or after Thursday, July 4th. Max’s price hike also affects the service’s ad-free yearly plans, with the standard ad-free plan going up to $169.99 / year from $149.99 and the 4K ad-free plan going up to $209.99 / year from $199.99.
The service’s $9.99 / month (or $99.99 / year) ad-supported subscription will stay the same price. Warner Bros. Discovery raised the price of Max (then HBO Max) for the first time last year. We first heard about a potential Max price increase from a Bloomberg report last month.
Max isn’t alone in raising its prices, either. NBCUniversal is raising the price of Peacock by $2 in July, while Disney plans on making customers pay to share their passwords this month.
