You can change your Netflix plan if you want to subscribe to a different pricing tier.
Netflix currently offers four pricing plans: Basic with ads, Basic, Standard, and Premium.
Basic with Ads is $7 per month, Basic is $10, Standard is $16, and Premium is $20.
When you first sign up for a Netflix account, you are required to select a subscription plan.
The new Basic with ads plan for a $7 monthly price is the least expensive but offers the fewest perks; the Premium plan is the most expensive but has the highest resolution and greatest number of devices and viewers allowed at a time. The Basic and Standard plans fall between the two.
Over time, however, you might realize that you use Netflix differently than you expected when you initially selected your plan. Fortunately, it’s easy to change your Netflix plan to the subscription that fits your budget and viewing habits. Here’s how.
How to change your Netflix plan
1. Open Netflix on a PC or Mac and log in to your account, if prompted.
2. Click on your profile.
3. In the upper right corner of your screen, hover your cursor over your profile icon to open a drop-down menu. On the drop-down menu, click “Account.”
Click “Account” in the dropdown menu.
