Skydance's Discovery+ streaming service has raised subscription prices by up to 20%, with ad-free plans increasing from $10 to $12/month and ad-supported plans from $6 to $7/month. The changes come shortly after Paramount Skydance acquired Warner Bros. Discovery, though the company says the pricing adjustments were planned before the merger. Discovery+, which focuses on unscripted content, has raised prices three times since its launch and remains profitable with low cancellation rates.
Background
Discovery+ is a streaming service primarily featuring unscripted content such as reality shows and documentaries, formerly owned by Warner Bros. Discovery before its acquisition by Paramount Skydance. The streaming market continues to see frequent price adjustments as companies balance profitability with subscriber growth.
