Before Nov. 1, subscribers will have the choice between tier subscriptions of standard with ads, standard without ads or premium, which is also ad-free.
Each tier has a separate price, video quality, number of streams at a time, audio quality and option to download shows and movies.
Standard with ads will cost customers $7.99 a month. Standard without ads costs $11.99 a month, or viewers can choose a discounted rate of $119.99 if they agree to pay for a year-long subscription. Premium costs $14.99 a month, or $149.99 annually.
Other streaming platforms like PrimeVideo and Netflix have moved towards tiered subscriptions with ads.
