Where once only Netflix stood, a host of alternative streaming services now fiercely compete for market share. Disney Plus is one of the top-tier options, able to lure in new customers with its ownership of franchises such as Star Wars and Marvel. The cheapest plan in the USA is $7.99 per month, but how does that compare to other countries? We decided to take a look at Disney Plus costs around the world to answer this question.
We compared the price of Disney Plus in 50 countries for the purpose of this exercise. It’s available in over 80 countries in total, but we wanted to keep the numbers manageable by focusing on the biggest markets. The prices of the monthly and annual plans have been correlated as all of the nations have these options. We’ve omitted other price structures, such as bundles and student discounts, as many countries don’t have the equivalent plans for comparison.
Let’s get into the numbers.
How much does Disney Plus cost around the world?
The Disney Plus monthly and annual prices for each country are laid out in the table below. In each case, the cost in the local currency was converted into the equivalent US dollar value based on the exchange rates at the time of writing. This approach has its flaws, as we’ll discuss more later, but it’s the most straightforward way for us to compare them.
| Country | Monthly Price | USD Value | Annual Price | USD Value |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Turkey | TRY 34.99 | $1.14 | TRY 349.90 | $11.43 |
| Argentina | ARS 1,999 | $2.41 | ARS 17,949 | $21.61 |
The price of the streaming service across borders is quite stark, with some countries paying literally ten times more than others for a monthly subscription. The country with the cheapest Disney Plus in the world is Turkey, where residents pay the equivalent of just $1.14 for the monthly plan. Switzerland is easily the most expensive country to get Disney Plus, with the Central European nation paying $14.76 per month. That’s over $3 per month more than the next most expensive country, which is Denmark at $11.43.
As stark as these differences are, we’ve speculated as to the reasons for them at the end of this article. But it’s no anomaly — the Swiss also have the most expensive YouTube Premium subscription.
