Netflix Raises Prices in the Netherlands, Keeps Cheapest Ad Plan Intact

Analysts view the Dutch increases as a guide for likely hikes in Germany and other European markets soon.

Overview

  • The Standard plan in the Netherlands rises to €15.99 from €13.99 and the Premium plan to €20.99 from €18.99, according to Nu.nl reports cited by multiple outlets.
  • Local reporting says the ad-supported entry plan remains at €5.99 per month, reflecting Netflix’s effort to leave its lowest-priced, advertising-backed option unchanged.
  • A Netflix spokeswoman said the company occasionally asks members to pay more because it continually increases the value it provides.
  • Germany’s last adjustment was in April 2024, and outlets say the Dutch move suggests Germany could face similar changes, though Netflix has not confirmed timing or amounts.
  • Fees for extra household members and surcharges for streaming outside the primary residence remain in place, and earlier 2025 hikes in the USA, the UK, Portugal and Argentina illustrate the broader pattern.
