    It’s time for some streamers to come up with more money to keep their service.

    Monthly subscription prices for Disney+, Hulu, ESPN+ and some streaming bundles will increase on Oct. 17.

    How much will Disney+ increase?

    Currently $7.99 a month with ads, the basic Disney+ offering will go up by $2 to $9.99 for all subscribers, current and new.

    Disney+ with no ads is currently priced at $13.99, or $139.99 annually. That will increase to $15.99 monthly, or $159.99 annually.

    New bundles launched

    Disney, along with Warner Bros Discovery (HBO, Food Network), this summer launched a bundle that includes Disney+, Hulu and Max (all with ads) for $16.99. A bundle of the three services with no ads is $29.99.

    And a new standalone sports streaming service, Venu Sports, created by ESPN, Fox and Warner Bros. Discovery, costs $42.99 monthly, and includes ESPN+.

    Earlier this year, Disney made Hulu available within the Disney+ app for those who subscribed to both services. Depending on your plan, you may have to pay a bit more.
