Netflix with ads is finally happening. The streaming company on Thursday launched “Basic with Ads”- its first-ever affordable ad-supported subscription plan for those who can sit through ads between shows and movies in exchange for a pocket-friendly subscription plan.

Basic with Ads will cost $6.99 a month and will be available in 12 countries- Australia, Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Korea, Mexico, Spain, the UK and the US. It will be different from the existing Basic plan and will not affect the other existing ad-free plans.
