- The Netflix Basic plan was the cheapest without ads, costing $10 per month in the US.
- Netflix has just eliminated this plan.
- You can still keep the plan, but if you change your subscription in any way, you’ll lose it.
For years now, the cheapest way to get ad-free Netflix has been to use the Basic subscription plan. For $10 each month, you get access to all of Netflix in an ad-free state with one concurrent stream in HD quality. A cheaper option landed when the company rolled out its Standard with Ads plan, which slashed a few dollars from the monthly cost and brought you two concurrent streams at 1080p, but threw in advertisements.
Now, that $10 Netflix Basic plan is ending. Its current Plans and Pricing page shows only three tiers: Standard with Ads ($6.99), Standard ($15.49), and Premium ($19.99). This change is also happening in the United Kingdom.
