Hulu Price: Plans, Monthly Cost & Price History

Hulu is Disney's streaming service for current TV episodes, original series, and a large movie library. It also sells a live TV package that works as a cable replacement. Today most Hulu plans are sold as bundles with Disney+, and some include ESPN, so the price you pay depends on which services come in the package and whether you accept ads.

The plans and prices on this page are the ones published by Hulu, checked on Oct 11, 2026. Hulu updates its lineup and prices regularly, so confirm the current offer on the official Hulu page before you subscribe.

The lowest-priced plan on hulu.com's main plans page is the Disney+, Hulu Bundle with ads, at $12.99/mo. For that price you get both Hulu and Disney+ with ad breaks.

A Hulu-only plan, without Disney+, did not appear among the plans we recorded from the official page, so we do not list a standalone price here. If you want Hulu by itself, check the plan options on hulu.com or in the Disney+ app to see whether a solo plan is offered and what it costs.

The on-demand bundles cover streaming libraries only, without live channels. You choose between ads and no ads, and between two services or three.

Here is how the four bundles compare:

• Disney+, Hulu Bundle with ads ($12.99/mo): the entry price. It suits viewers who mainly want TV series and movies and do not mind commercials.
• Disney+, Hulu Bundle Premium without ads ($21.99/mo): the same two services with no ad breaks on most content.
• Disney+, Hulu, ESPN Unlimited Bundle ($35.99/mo): adds ESPN's full streaming service. It makes sense for sports fans who would otherwise pay for ESPN on its own.
• Disney+, Hulu, ESPN Unlimited Bundle Premium ($44.99/mo): the three-service bundle with the ad-free versions of Disney+ and Hulu.

Ad-free plans may still show ads during some live events and a small number of shows because of licensing rules. The official plan descriptions list those exceptions.

Hulu + Live TV adds live broadcast and cable channels to the streaming library. Both live plans also include Disney+ and ESPN Select.

The standard Hulu + Live TV plan costs $99.99/mo. Hulu Premium + Live TV costs $109.99/mo and swaps in the ad-free versions of Hulu's on-demand library and Disney+. Live channels still carry their normal commercials on either plan, because ads in live broadcasts come from the networks.

Live TV is the most expensive way to get Hulu, so it is worth comparing with the on-demand bundles if you rarely watch live news or sports. Local channel lineups vary by ZIP code; the official site lets you check yours before signing up.

The only difference between a standard plan and its Premium version is the ad experience. The library is the same. Premium makes sense if you watch several hours a week and commercials bother you. If you mostly watch a show or two, the ad-supported plan covers the same content for less.

You can usually switch between ad-supported and ad-free plans from your account settings. The change typically takes effect at your next billing cycle, so you can try one and move to the other later.

The listed price may not match your final charge. Depending on your state and city, sales tax or local fees may apply to streaming subscriptions.

Hulu also sells optional add-ons, such as premium movie channels, on top of some plans. These are billed monthly and are not included in the prices above. If you subscribe through a third party, such as a phone carrier, a cable company, or an app store, the price and billing terms may differ from hulu.com.

• Pick the ad-supported bundle if commercials do not bother you. It is the lowest price on the official page.
• Choose a bundle that replaces services you already pay for. If you subscribe to Disney+ or ESPN separately, a bundle may cost less than paying for each one.
• Skip Live TV unless you need live channels. The on-demand bundles cost far less.
• Look for student or partner offers. Hulu has offered student pricing and carrier deals in the past; check the official page for what is available now, since these offers change.
