Weird message from Hulu re. Price Change????
 

How much is the increase for only HULU?

A message appeared on the television screen and in my email that said there would be an increase to $95.99 a month which looked like a mistake until I decided it must include all the offerings in total. We do not have Disney or ESPN.

Even so, that cost caused me some sticker shock and I did not click to any of the remaining pages. At first, I thought it was a hack. That opening message could use some clarification.

I sometimes find HULU to be cumbersome to use. Is there anything better after giving up cable?

quick google search gets me to https://help.hulu.com/article/hulu-h...does-hulu-cost
where all the different options are listed with costs. You will find exactly what you need there depending on what services you have ordered.

Thanks. I rewrote my post probably after you saw it. We have not had HULU for long and their website has been aggravating from time to time.

It was the almost a hundred dollars a month that jumped out and surprised me. I thought, at first, it was a mistake of some kind or a hack. The announcement did not clarify HULU alone. I sometimes read too fast and I was concerned about clicking further. I will look now.

I need to sloooooow down. Thanks though.

The basic subscription of Hulu will be $9.99/month, or 99.99/year.

It sounds like the ad referred to this:

Thanks. I should have dug further before taking it to the street. :)

I have YouTube TV. It is about $72 a month. It has 90% of the main cable channels. Biggest advantage is UNLIMITED DVR.

I tape every golf tournament,, college football game, Baseball game, NFL game, etc. that is on the channel. I don’t have time to watch all of it but it is there. Especially college football. Basic networks and big 10 and sec and ESPN is a lot of football!

If you know what channels you want, a good way to shop for streaming services is to use the website "suppose.tv". You can list all the channels you want on the left side, and it will tell you the cheapest way to get those channels.

Assuming you are asking about live TV options, I would also recommend YoutubeTV. I have recent experience with both Hulu+live TV and YouTube tv. The experience is not even close. YouTube TV is much better across the board. From channel guide to DVR to general tv watching. I had flipped back to Hulu a couple months ago (I had it years ago as well) to see about consolidating services. I lasted about 2 weeks before switching back. It my opinion it was a much worse watching experience. YMMV.

For streaming TV?

I have YouTube TV $82.60, in that price are a couple of added extras like HBO.
Of course, like many I also have Netflix.
I don't have enough time to watch all there is to offer.

It's piped in.

Had Hulu when it was $55 a month. Since they are Disney owned, and pushing some very unpopular social conscripts, Disney has been loosing money hand over fist. So Disney is looking to make back some of the money they are losing across the spectrum.
When Hulu had a $15 a month price increase from $55, we dropped them like a hot potato.
Funny to see ANOTHER price increase in less than a year from Hulu. But not surprising.
What to do?
We switched to YouTube $75 a month. For now anyhow.
Since we don’t watch much regular tv, we may just ditch YouTube tv also, if they have another price increase.
Options after this? The 2 “stick” options. Roku & Amazon Fire stick tv.
If anyone has other options, would love to hear them. And not the regular cable providers, as last I checked were a bit more expensive than the options discussed here.

A lot more expensive!

I have Hulu and disgusted with the price increase also. Put it on PAUSE for 12 weeks. I am going to use Haystack news for now which is free and has local and world news just not the same commentators as on major channels. Since I am a snowbird You Tube TV allows 90 days to watch it in another state after which if someone doesn't go to your home up north and turn on the TV to show them that you still have that home up north or they will switch me to Fl. That would be a hassle for me. I know it sounds crazy but true. BTW Hulu's price increase came to 93.99 in Il. Lower.....than Fl. I watch Netflix a lot. Between ROKU and a smart TV in both homes I will do fine.
