How much does Disney+ cost?
Disney+ is a paid subscription based service. Disney+ costs $6.99 per month or $69.99 per year in the US and £5.99 per month or £59.99 per year in the UK.
This is less expensive when compared to Netflix’s $8.99 basic monthly package ($15.99 for the premium version), however, Netflix boasts a library size of between 5000 and 6000 titles, depending on the region that you live in.
