Netflix ad-supported plan to debut in November: Price, availability and other details

Netflix is finally launching its affordable subscription plan with ads. The popular streaming service on Thursday announced ‘Basic with Ads’ – it’s first-ever ad-supported affordable video streaming plan priced at $6.99 a month which is roughly Rs 500. The new plan will go live on November 3 at 9am.

“Basic with Ads will launch just six months after we first announced the option of a lower priced ads plan. None of this would have been possible without our team’s hard work or Microsoft’s extraordinary partnership. The switch from linear is happening at an ever-increasing speed, with streaming now surpassing broadcast and cable in the US. We’re confident that with Netflix starting at $6.99 a month, we now have a price and plan for every fan,” company writes on its blog post.
