Back in March, Netflix raised the prices for its subscription plans, though at the time the changes only applied for users in the US. Now, it looks like the price hikes have finally arrived for Malaysian customers. The streaming platform has updated its pricing for the local market, and the new rates seem to be effective immediately.
As detailed on the Netflix official website, the Mobile plan now costs RM1 more than before. This package, which allows users to stream on one mobile device at 480p resolution, has gone up from RM18.90 per month to RM19.90 per month. Meanwhile, the Basic plan, offering 720p streaming on a single supported device, has a monthly cost of RM33.90, marking a RM4 increase from its previous price of RM29.90.
Next, the Standard plan, which allows for streaming in 1080p on two devices, has gone up to RM55.90 per month. For reference, this option cost RM49.90 per month prior to the price hike, so it is pricier by RM6. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the top-tier Premium plan is hit the worst, with a RM7 increase. This package, which includes 4K streaming on up to four devices, now has a monthly price of RM69.90, up from RM62.90.
In addition to raising the prices of each plan, Netflix also increased the cost for adding extra members. Previously priced at RM13, it now costs RM14.90. This change applies to both the Standard and Premium plans, with the former allowing for one extra member slot. On the other hand, the latter lets the customer add two extra member slots. Beyond that, nothing else seems to have changed. The benefits included in each plan remain the same, including streaming quality and content access.
Of course, this is hardly the first time the service has bumped its prices for Malaysian users. The last round of price hikes was announced back in November 2024, which saw increases of about the same amount for each subscription tier.
