By Ed Malaker
Many viewers dream of Watching Hulu without interruptions. Fortunately, Hulu offers different subscription plans that cater to various preferences, including an ad-free experience. In this guide, we’ll break down the subscription tiers and their benefits to help you decide on the best plan for your needs.
The Hulu subscription plans
Hulu (With Ads)
The Hulu (With Ads) plan costs $9.99/month and provides access to Hulu’s streaming library but with commercial interruptions. It’s the least expensive option and affordable for those who don’t mind occasional ads during their favorite shows and movies.
Hulu (No Ads)
The Hulu (No Ads) plan costs $18.99/month and offers ad-free access to Hulu’s streaming library, although you may see occasional brief ads during some shows, like Grey’s Anatomy, How to Get Away with Murder, and Maarvel’s Agents of Shield due to streaming rights, but these ads usually appear at the beginning and end of the episode and won’t interrupt the experience.
Hulu + Live TV (With Ads)
Hulu + Live TV (With Ads) costs $82.99 per month and might seem like an expensive jump in subscription plans, but this option offers Hulu’s entire catalog with ads, over 85 live TV channels for news, sports, and entertainment, and access to Disney+ with ads and ESPN with ads. This plan is great for cord-cutters who want both on-demand streaming and live television.
Hulu + Live TV (No Ads)
Hulu + Live TV (No Ads) costs $95.99 per month and is the same as the last option, but it eliminates the ads on both the Hulu content and the Disney+ content, allowing you to view both without interruptions. It’s perfect for those who want both live television and uninterrupted movie time.
