Netflix’s $3 mobile streaming plan just launched in two new countries

[Zach Epstein]

• Netflix's three streaming plans in the United States have received multiple price increases in recent years, but Netflix is headed in a different direction in other markets.
• The company first began testing a special mobile-only streaming plan in India back in December 2018 before launching it last year for about $3 per month.

Over the past few years, Netflix's monthly plan prices have gotten more and more expensive. As of March 2020, Netflix's Basic plan that includes lower-resolution streaming on one screen at a time costs $8.99 per month. The Netflix Standard plan that includes 1080p streaming on up to two simultaneous screens is $12.99 a month. Finally, Netflix's Premium plan with 4K streaming, 1080p streaming, and support for up to four simultaneous streams climbed recently to $15.99 each month.

Ask anyone in the US who subscribes to Netflix and he or she will likely tell you that it's worth every penny. Of that, there is precious little question. No other streaming media service offers as much content or as much high-quality original content as Netflix. In fact, Netflix is releasing a whopping 55 new original series, movies, and specials over the course of the month in March 2020 alone.

That option might never be made available in the US, but it does exist elsewhere.
