Disney's streaming service Disney + (pronounced Disney Plus) has brought with it a robust package of movies and series, including a ton of great content , support for numerous devices, and compatibility with various audio and video formats. Disney + has quickly become an active force in the streaming world, supported by content from Vault, Marvel Cinematic Universe, Star Wars, Pixar, and more.
But of course: everything has a price. How much is it? Has Disney organized the cost of a subscription - as Netflix does - with three levels, or are there different options? We have all the answers below.

Flat rate: $ 7 dollars a month or $ 70 dollars a year
The Disney Plus billing model couldn't be easier: you can choose to pay $ 7 a month or $ 70 a year, and this entitles you to the entire Disney Plus catalog without limits. There are no more service levels or other monthly prices, and as with any other streaming service, there is no commitment to stay to obtain this price and you can cancel it at any time. And although the Disney Plus catalog is not as extensive as that of Netflix or Amazon Prime Video , Disney offers you a series of many functions to compensate you as your content alternatives grow.
In this way, each account can stream in up to 4K resolution, with HDR in movies and shows that support these standards. Some of the titles that are in HDR use Dolby Vision , which offers even better image quality than HDR10, the base HDR format. It also offers Dolby Atmos , although titles that support this surround sound format are limited to new productions.
You can have up to four simultaneous broadcasts, something that is appreciated when your family does not agree on what to see. With up to seven user profiles, you will have no trouble keeping your recommendations relevant or continuing to watch one of your favorite series at the exact point where you left it.
You get more if you have Hulu
But wait, there's more: Since Disney owns Hulu by purchasing 21st Century Fox, you can add a Disney Plus subscription to your Hulu account. Pricing remains the same, but it will simplify things by accessing both content catalogs within a single user interface.
And even more, with ESPN
Speaking of bundles, let's not forget that Disney now owns a majority stake in one of the biggest brands in sports broadcasting: ESPN. Therefore, skilled Disney executives have decided that you should be rewarded if you bet on a triple play from the company's streaming services. If you sign up for Disney Plus, ESPN + and Hulu, you can save $ 5 a month on the individual cost of these services. All three will cost you just $ 13 a month.
Free with Verizon
If you're a Verizon customer, you're in luck. Subscribers - current or future - with unlimited data plans or new Fios and 5G broadband customers, have free access to Disney Plus for one year. You should only remember to unsubscribe once the 12-month trial period ends, otherwise Disney Plus will charge you a normal fee.
