Netflix plans and prices per month: Standard with ads vs Standard vs Premium (US)

Last updated · verified against official sources on

Quick answer

Netflix US prices: Standard with ads $8.99/month, Standard $19.99/month, Premium $26.99/month. Billing is monthly only; there are no annual, multi-month or lifetime plans. Standard and Premium can add extra members outside your household at $7.99/month each with ads or $9.99/month without ads.

Prices are the US-dollar prices on the Netflix Help Center; taxes may apply, and prices may vary through a package or add-on. Netflix doesn't allow sharing an account outside your household.
