hey everybody Michael here and I'm back
0:01
with an update on Paramount plus the
0:04
service is Raising its prices later this
0:06
summer I've still got some ways for you
0:08
to save let's get started now Paramount
0:10
Plus's latest price Ike it's a little
0:12
bit different here's a look at the
0:14
current pricing I'm going to make some
0:15
edits to show you what's changing first
0:18
the Paramount plus with Showtime plan
0:20
this plan is going up by $1 a month from
0:23
$1.99 to $12.99 and this all starts on
0:26
August 20th for new customers if you're
0:29
an existing customer you've got an extra
0:31
month you'll pay more on the first bill
0:34
on or after September 20th now the
0:36
Paramount plus with Showtime plan that's
0:38
mostly adree it also includes Showtime
0:41
content and your local CBS station the
0:43
Paramount plus essential plan the one
0:45
with advertising that's also changing
0:48
this plan is increasing by $2 a month
0:51
from $5.99 to $7.99 but only new
0:55
customers are going to have to pay more
0:57
not existing and the change for new
0:59
customers it also takes effect on August
1:01
20th what I find interesting here is
1:03
that the ad supported plan is seeing a
1:06
larger price increase than the ad free
1:09
plan this goes against what other
1:11
streaming services are doing and even
1:13
what Paramount plus has done in the past
1:16
including its price increase that I
1:17
reported on back in February 2023 ad
1:21
supported plans can typically make
1:22
streaming services more Revenue per user
1:25
that's because they get paid twice from
1:28
subscribers and also from from
1:30
advertisers but there's got to be a
1:32
strategic or financial reason probably
1:34
both for Paramount plus to make this
1:36
move you know it was just a few weeks
1:38
ago that a merger between Paramount and
1:40
Sky Dan looked promising now that's off
1:44
the table and Paramount appears focused
1:46
on cost cutting amid declining profits
1:49
if Paramount plus is a musthave service
1:51
for your household there are still a few
1:53
ways to save starting with this 50% off
1:56
deal it's ending soon this is for
1:58
Paramount plus with Showtime time $59.99
2:01
for a full year now I should mention the
2:04
annual plans they are not increasing in
2:06
price later this summer that's only for
2:08
the monthly plans but no matter what
2:11
