Overview
- Discovery Plus raised its U.S. ad-supported plan to $6.99 per month and its ad-free plan to $11.99 per month, with the new rates active now for new subscribers and set to be applied to existing accounts after the company issues advance billing notice.
- The price change follows Paramount’s recent acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery, which folded Discovery Plus into the newly combined company known as Skydance.
- Skydance has said it will merge Paramount Plus and HBO Max into a single service over time, and the company has not yet clarified whether Discovery Plus will remain a standalone product.
- Many shows on Discovery Plus — including series from TLC, HGTV, Food Network, Investigation Discovery and Discovery Channel — also appear on HBO Max, creating content overlap that could shape future bundling or consolidation decisions.
- This is Discovery Plus’s first price increase since January 2025 and it raises out-of-pocket streaming costs for subscribers while prompting consumers to watch for announcements about service changes and package options.
