Netflix plans, side by side
Every published tier in ascending order of price, with the number of features each one lists. An absence here means the record does not itemise it, not that the tier lacks it.
| Plan | Price | Features listed | Step up from the tier below |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard with ads | $6.99/month | 5 | Entry tier |
| Standard | $15.49/month | 5 | +$8.5/month, 2 more features |
| Premium | $22.99/month | 5 | +$7.499999999999998/month, 3 more features |
What each tier adds
The set difference between each tier's feature list and the one beneath it. Where a tier lists nothing new, the vendor has either stopped repeating the inherited list or the tier raises limits rather than adding capability, the record does not distinguish the two, so this page does not either.

People bring Netflix in for streaming films and series on demand across tvs, phones and browsers, downloading titles for offline viewing on a limited number of devices, playing netflix mobile games included with a subscription. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to Netflix are worth a look before you commit to a tier.

Ratings are aggregated from third-party sources and imported with each catalogue entry, they are not reviews hosted on Softwr. How each figure is used is set out on the Netflix badges page.
Before you pay for Netflix
Three things this page cannot tell you, and all three change the bill. The record carries a price and a billing period but not the unit - per-seat and flat-rate pricing are indistinguishable in this data, so a five-person team may be looking at five times the figure above. It carries no annual rate, so any discount for paying yearly is not something this page can quote. And it carries no trial length.
What it can tell you is the shape of the ladder: 3 tiers between $6.99/month and $22.99/month, with the jump itemised above. With no free tier on record, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to compare Netflix against the tools that do have one before committing.
Netflix runs on web, ios, android, smart-tv, gaming-consoles, streaming-devices, and is published by Netflix Inc of Scotts Valley, California, USA. The full record is on the Netflix review, and the rest of the category is under best entertainment tools.

- Standard costs $15.49/month against $6.99/month, and adds all netflix movies and tv shows, no ads.
- Is the Premium plan on Netflix worth it?
- That depends entirely on whether you need what it adds, which on the published record is watch on 4 supported devices at a time, watch in ultra hd, download on 6 supported devices at a time. It costs $22.99/month against $6.99/month for Standard with ads. Softwr has not used either tier, so this page can tell you what changes, not whether it is worth the difference to you.

- Are these Netflix prices current?
