How the prices have moved
Prices have risen twice since mid-2024. Mumbrella reported in June 2024 that the Standard plan would rise from $9.99 to $10.99 from late August 2024, and ChannelNews listed Basic with Ads at $6.99 and Premium at $13.99 at the time. In November 2025 all three plans rose again: Basic with Ads by $1, Standard by $2 to $12.99 and Premium by $4 to $17.99. Last year's Black Friday offer, reported by OzBargain on 18 November 2025, halved the first-year price of the annual Standard and Premium plans, to $57.99 and $79.99.

How Paramount+ compares
Paramount+ has the cheapest entry plan among the big services, and its ad-free Standard plan undercuts every rival in the table.

|---|---|---|
| Paramount+ | $7.99 | $12.99 |
| Disney+ | $9.99 | $17.99 |
| Stan | $9.99 | $17.99 |
| Netflix | $9.99 | $20.99 |
| BINGE | $10 | $19 |
| HBO Max | $11.99 | $15.99 |
The cheaper plan is not the only question. Paramount+ is where the A-League, UFC Fight Nights and CBS dramas live. HBO Max has the HBO library and the Harry Potter series, and Stan Sport has the Champions League. Check which of those you actually watch before you pick.
