Disney’s highly anticipated streaming service is expected to launch Nov. 12, 2019. And Disney+ is sure to give all other streaming services a run for their money when it does. The cost of a subscription will be as low as $6.99 a month or $69.99 for a year, CNBC reports.
For comparison, Hulu’s standard plan costs $11.99 per month. Netflix’s standard plan costs $12.99 per month. YouTube TV just raised its prices to $49.99.
