Alongside the new name for the new streaming service, WBD has also announced pricing. The pricing isn’t that surprising, and is actually pretty competitive. So here’s it shakes up.
There’s going to be three plans for Max: Max Ad-Lite, Max Ad Free and Max Ultimate Ad Free.
Max Ad-Lite will be priced at $9.99. That’s going to get you two concurrent streams, 1080p resolution, no offline downloads and 5.1 surround sound quality. And of course, it is ad-supported.
Max Ad-Free will be priced at $15.99 per month, and will give you basically everything that Max Ad-Lite does, without the ads, and giving you offline downloads. You’re limited to 30 offline downloads, however.
Then there’s Max Ultimate Ad-Free. This one will cost you $19.99 per month, and offer up to four concurrent streams, up to 4K HDR resolution, Dolby Atmos sound quality and up to 100 offline downloads.
All in all, pricing is pretty similar to HBO MAX’s current setup
Surprisingly, the pricing here is actually very similar to what HBO MAX’s plans are currently. With the ad-supported tier being $9.99 and ad-free being $15.99 per month.
Warner Bros Discovery is branching out its ad-free tiers into two different tiers. And I think these pricing tiers are just fine. Not everyone wants nor needs 4K and Dolby Atmos. So including that in their Ultimate plan is fine. At least Max isn’t going to be charging you $15 per month for 480p resolution like Netflix was until recently. The lowest that Max will go is 1080p, which for everyone, is perfectly fine.
None of us like price increases, but this isn’t really an increase. It’s really the addition of a new tier. Not to mention the fact that you are getting all of the Discovery content baked into Max as well. So you’re getting a much larger library for the same price.
