Netflix Canada Announces Price Hike, Leaving Subscribers Concerned
Netflix Canada is increasing its subscription prices, a move that's catching the attention of millions of Canadians. Starting immediately for new users and on the next billing cycle for existing subscribers, Netflix has adjusted the cost across multiple plans. The standard plan with ads will now cost $7.99 per month, up by $2. The standard plan without ads is increasing by $2.50, now priced at $18.99 per month. Meanwhile, the premium plan has jumped $3, reaching $23.99 monthly. However, the fee for adding an extra member remains unchanged.
This price hike comes at a time when streaming services are facing heightened competition and rising production costs. Netflix, in a letter to shareholders, stated that the increase is driven by investments in programming. These changes aren't just limited to Canada—similar adjustments have been made in the U.S., Portugal, and Argentina.

For many Canadians, the news has sparked questions about the overall value of streaming services, especially given the rising cost of living. With multiple subscription options available, from Disney+ to Amazon Prime Video, some users are reevaluating how much they're willing to spend on entertainment. Netflix’s last price increase in Canada was back in 2022, so this latest change feels sudden for many.
The company’s decision underscores its confidence in its content offerings, ranging from exclusive movies to live sports events and hit series like Squid Game . While the company continues to grow globally—posting record revenue and subscriber numbers—some Canadian users might feel the pinch of these changes.
Ultimately, the choice will come down to whether Netflix’s diverse and high-quality content is worth the increased monthly cost. For now, it remains to be seen how these changes will affect Netflix’s subscriber base in Canada. One thing is clear: streaming services must strike a balance between profitability and keeping subscribers happy.
