  • Growth plan restricts collaboration to 2 users even at 16 connected profiles
  • Listed prices of $18.75, $37.50 and $82.50 per month require annual billing at a 25% discount; monthly billing costs more

Netflix

  • The entry plan caps video at 720p and allows one simultaneous stream and one download device
  • 1080p and two simultaneous streams require the Standard plan
  • 4K Ultra HD, HDR and spatial audio are restricted to the Premium plan, which allows 4 streams and 6 download devices
  • Netflix states an account is for people who live together in a single household, so viewers outside the home need a paid extra member slot
  • Plan prices and availability differ by country and change when Netflix is bought through a partner package or add-on
