- Standard at $18.49/mo is the pick for ad-free viewing without paying for 4K. It also adds downloads and live sports.
- Premium at $22.99/mo only makes sense with a 4K TV. It is the only tier with 4K UHD and Dolby Atmos.
Bundles & add-ons
- Disney+, Hulu, Max bundle (from $19.99/mo with ads; from $32.99/mo ad-free): All three services at a discount versus subscribing separately.
