The $15.50 per month price for Netflix's most popular streaming option in the U.S. will remain unchanged, as will a $7 monthly plan that includes intermittent commercials.
Netflix increased the U.S. price of its premium ad-free plan by $3 per month to $22.99. The cost for premium rose by 2 pounds to 17.99 pounds in Britain and by 2 euros to 19.99 euros in France.
The video-streaming pioneer, which has been looking for new revenue streams, launched its ad-supported tier last year and cracked down on password sharing globally as it copes with intensifying competition.
Netflix has reduced its subscription prices in over 30 countries across the world, in the regions such as West Asia, sub-Saharan Africa, parts of eastern Europe, Latin America and South East Asia. The move is being seen as the streaming giant's attempt to appeal customers around the world across diverse socio-economic strata.
In some markets, Netflix has halved the cost of a subscription, the Wall Street Journal reported.
