Netflix Standard only offers two streams, while Basic offers one. The plan includes the most simultaneous streams, making it more like a family plan than a premium plan, really. It’s odd because 4K content is likely not the primary reason someone would sign up for Netflix premium. What’s worse, Netflix Standard now costs more than Premium did when it first launched, without ever making the viewing experience better. The company’s “Basic” tier subjects subscribers to an insulting 480p streaming experience for $9 a month, or $2 more than Disney+ which offers 4K at no extra charge. Netflix’s most popular “Standard” plan only gives customers 1080p quality, now $14 a month. To this day, customers can only watch 4K HDR Netflix content if they subscribe to the company’s highest “premium” tier, which now costs $18 a month. The quality of Netflix’s offering is not the issue, it’s that the company continues to lag behind competitors by failing to offer the highest quality picture to all of its customers. In a time where many productions have been halted, Netflix has kept a steady stream of relatively high-quality original series and movies coming for all of our pandemic binging needs. Netflix just increased the prices of its two most popular plans yet again and with it, millions of customers will have to reevaluate whether the service is still worth paying for in an increasingly crowded streaming landscape.įor many, that answer will still be yes.
