In what is either an incredibly timely coincidence or an intentional act of aggression, Hulu announced on Wednesday that it is cutting the price of its standard plan down from $7.99 to $5.99 on February 26th. Hulu has previously lowered the price of this plan, but always as part of a temporary promotion. This appears to be permanent. The “No Ads” plan will remain at its current price of $11.99, as will the $12.99 Hulu/Spotify combo plan.
Hulu’s announcement comes just days after Netflix unveiled the biggest price increase in the history of the streaming service. Netflix’s popular standard plan (HD video and two streams at once) jumped from $10.99 to $12.99, while the basic plan was bumped up by a dollar and the premium plan increased by two dollars.
