"Starting Wednesday, July 23, the NBCU-owned streamer will begin charging new subscribers $3 more per month, with the cost of the ad-supported plan increasing nearly 40 percent to $10.99, and the price of the ad-free tier rising about 20 percent to $16.99," reports Vulture's Josef Adalian. "(Existing subscribers will see the new rates starting with bills on or after August 22.) And while Peacock is also going to be testing out a new slimmed-down version of its offering for $7.99 called Peacock Select — more on that below — this price hike means Peacock’s most popular plan (ad-supported) will cost $1 more per month than Max, Hulu, and Disney+ with ads; $2 more than stand-alone Prime Video; and $3 more than the ad-supported tiers at Netflix and Paramount+. It’s the biggest price jump for Peacock since the platform’s launch five years ago this week, and it means the NBCU service (for now) has the most expensive ad tier of any major streamer." Adalian adds of Peacock Select: "Though it won’t be heavily marketed, and could even go away at some point — hence messaging that this is a 'test' — the new price plan will give customers access to all next-day NBC and Bravo entertainment content (i.e., your Dick Wolf dramas, SNL, and the Housewives), former NBC soap Days of Our Lives (now a Peacock original), plus 'a broad assortment of library titles.'"
