Disney has launched a new Disney+ subscription deal, where the company now offers three-year subscriptions for $5 a month. However, customers will also have the option to purchase a three year Disney+ subscription upfront for $170. Disney is presenting the new deal as a limited time offer, however, the company has stated a specific deadline for the promotion. Additionally, the new offer will only be available to Founder Circle Members.
Disney is offering a new deal in order to bolster its subscriber numbers. As more and more streaming services populate the market place, lower prices could entice consumers to choose one service over another. Additionally, offering a set price for three years could provide a secure price point that consumers may value.
