Less than two weeks after Apple opened access to its own streaming service, Disney+ launched in three countries with plenty of content that customers would want to watch at home. Just like that, Netflix now has to compete against two big rivals, although it’s just Disney+ that’s a real threat to Netflix’s dominance right now. What’s worse, for Netflix at least, is that both Apple and Disney priced their streaming products significantly cheaper than expected. Apple TV+ costs $5 a month plus a free trial for a full year with the purchase of a new Apple product. Disney has a single $6.99 subscription that’s cheaper than Netflix’s most affordable membership, and it offers better perks. But Netflix is already looking at new ways to compete against these threats, including a partnership with Nickelodeon as well as a new idea for luring in new subscribers: Access to free content.
