Netflix introduced an ad-supported plan in 2022, which costs USD 7 / CAD 6 / GBP 5 / EUR 6. And, as announced earlier this year, the streamer has removed its Basic plan, which was the cheapest ad-free option (at $10/€5 a month).
Netflix is now implementing this change as multiple people on Reddit report that they have received notifications that their Basic plan is ending and they have to choose a new one – the cheaper ad-supported plan or one of the two other ad-free plans the $15.50 FHD and $23.00 4K options.
The ad-supported plan has proven to be quite popular. It’s not available in all markets yet, but it has already reached 40 million subscribers.
One thing to note if you’re considering the ad-supported tier is that some TV shows and movies are not available on it (due to licensing restrictions, Netflix says). Ads are not shown on Kids profiles, though, and Netflix Games doesn’t have ads either.
