Hulu plans and pricing in 2025: What you can expect to spend in each plan and what you'll get in your lineup

Hulu subscription costs in 2025: What you can expect to pay

Although Hulu has a lengthy list of plan options, they all fit into two categories: on-demand only or on-demand with live TV. 

Hulu (With Ads) and Hulu (No Ads): What you can expect to pay

Hulu’s two basic plans are your traditional on-demand options that come with ads or without ads. They both give you full access to Hulu’s expansive on-demand library of popular shows and movies:

• Hulu (With Ads): $9.99/month with a 30-day free trial. 
  • You get access to Hulu's collection of on-demand shows and movies with advertisements.
• Hulu (No Ads): $18.99/month. There is currently no free trial.
  • You can stream the entire on-demand library with no interruptions.

Hulu + Live TV Plans: What you'll need to budget for your Hulu live TV streaming experience

Hulu + Live TV plans offering an impressive mix of on-demand and live content. If you opt for one of these plans, you’ll get over 95+ popular channels, Hulu’s on-demand library, and full access to Disney Plus and ESPN Plus. And it comes with unlimited cloud DVR storage so you never have to miss a beat. 

• Hulu + Live TV, Disney Plus and ESPN Plus: 
  • $82.99/month
  • You can stream all live channels 
  • On-demand content from Disney Plus, ESPN Plus, and Hulu's library, with advertisements.
• Hulu + Live TV, Disney Plus (No Ads) and ESPN Plus: 
  • $87.99/month
  • Offers the same access to live and on-demand content, but with no interruptions on Disney Plus.
• Hulu (No Ads) + Live TV, Disney Plus (No Ads) and ESPN Plus: 
  • $95.99/month
  • Ability to watch all live and on-demand content without any interruptions on both Hulu on-demand and Disney Plus.
• LIVE TV Only: 
  • $81.99/month 
  • Only provides you with access to Hulu's live TV offerings, without the on-demand library or Disney Plus and ESPN Plus.

Hulu Live TV Only Plan: We don't recommend this subscription

Hulu offers a Live TV Only plan, but we don’t think it’s worth the subscription price. You only save a small amount per month but lose Hulu’s on-demand library, Disney Plus and ESPN Plus.

The Disney Bundle Plans and the prices you'll need to budget for

Hulu offers various Disney Plus bundles ranging from $10.99 per month to $29.99 per month for subscribers. However, that's a significant range and depends on which services you'd like to package together, if you prefer on-demand content, and whether you want with or without advertisements. 

This upgrade is a smart choice if you’re looking for more on-demand entertainment from top Disney brands or extra live and on-demand sports action on ESPN Plus:

• Disney Plus is home to massive hits across the Marvel and Star Wars universes, 
• Access to the he award-winning Pixar library
• National Geographic programs, and more.

The ESPN Plus Bundle Plans and the prices you'll need to budget for

ESPN Plus includes tons of action from college conferences and leagues like the NFL, NHL, MLB, La Liga, Bundesliga, and UFC. You'll also be able to watch award-winning sports documentaries. By purchasing them together, you can save up to 44% on the total price of all three services.

How do Hulu plans compare to other streaming services?

Hulu is a satdn-out streaming service provider, offering a unique combination of live TV and on-demand content in one platform. While many streaming providers focus only on either live television or an on-demand collection of movies and shows, Hulu offers both:

• Stream popular TV shows shortly after they air
• Extensive library of classic and current series, movies, and Hulu originals
• Hulu gives you the flexibility to watch on-demand content and/or live TV

The power to stream in the Hulu bundles and plans

Hulu’s bundles with Disney Plus and ESPN Plus, which make it a one-stop-shop for entertainment, family-friendly content, and sports streaming. The bundle options are one of the best value deals in streaming:

• Providing access to blockbuster movies
• Watch exclusive Disney originals, and live sports
• Hulu’s on-demand content. 
• Hulu + Live TV includes major cable networks and local channels,

Competitors like Max and Amazon Prime Video don't stack up to what Hulu currently offers in 2025. 

FAQ

What are the three main plans currently offered by Hulu?

You're looking at the basic/standard Hulu on-demand plans offering access to a no-ads or ads-supported on-demand content library at $9.99 and $18.99 per month respectively — only ads-supported has the 30-day free trial. The third plan is the Hulu + Live TV plan, which does have a 3-day free trial right now.

Is Hulu still free with Amazon Prime?

An Amazon Prime account does not include any of Hulu's plans. Unfortunately you will need two separate accounts as these two streaming services are not affiliated and you will not have access to Hulu with Amazon Prime.

Does Hulu offer a discount to seniors?

At this time, Hulu does not offer discounted packages, prices, or bundles to seniors, but that doesn't stop you from taking advantage of their free trials for new subscribers.

Hulu + Live TV only carries select RSNs in some markets. To find out if RSNs are available in your area, enter your ZIP code on the Hulu + Live TV website.
