Okay so I’ve been seeing Hulu + Live TV all over the place lately it’s trending everywhere. ESPN is now offering a bundle that gives you Hulu + Disney+ free for a year if you sign up for ESPN Unlimited ($29.99/mo). That's honestly a killer deal... but it feels like a weird time to get more into Hulu Live.
Because here's the thing:
It’s $81.99/month WITH ads now.
They just added like 14 new channels (Hallmark, Weather Channel, random Vevo music ones).
Disney's now merging it with FuboTV after scrapping that whole Venu Sports thing.
But people (me included) are still seeing crashes, lag, bugs on the Live TV app side.
Like… I WANT to cut the cord. But Hulu Live is still the easiest way to get sports, news, and whatever streaming bundles Disney’s cooking up.
Is anyone actually sticking with it long-term? Or are you guys jumping ship to YouTube TV, Sling, etc.?
Curious if I’m just stubborn or if this is the direction everything’s headed.
It's almost more as expensive as cable now right?
"The price of Hulu (No Ads) + Live TV, Disney+ (No Ads), and ESPN+ (With Ads) will increase on October 17, 2024 to $95.99/month."

I have had huly and Disney for a very long time. This latest price increase is making me drop them. 18.99 for Hulu? Plus Disney is like 40.00 . No thanks. I will stick to the free stuff and youtube. Smh

Me and my husband have a 10 month old. I love to use Hulu to watch shows. But is it just me or is it getting way too expensive?
$32 for just Hulu with no ADS. Maybe more or less. My husband was checking our bills and wondering why it’s so much.
Looks like You Tube TV is raising their prices. The cost in January will be $82.99. Looking at the price for Hulu + Live TV may be a better deal. I am showing Hulu (no ads) + Live TV, Disney+ (no ads), ESPN+ with ads a cost of $95.99. For about $12 more, get no ads Disney + and Hulu with no ads.
I welcome comments if this is a good deal!
I was planning on watching 1 show and to watch it, I have to pay 65 dollars, A MONTH? Whats the point of that? Is Hulu Live Tv even worth it?
Why wouldn't you just buy the show through iTunes, Amazon, Google, etc. then if you are literally only going to watch a single show?
I have a family of 4 and we share the plan. It's very well worth it to us. Just the freedom to watch from any internet connected device from anywhere is enough.
Current YouTube TV user here, until the end of my billing cycle with the whole Disney and ESPN and the removing of an abundance of channels. Is Hulu Live good for watching live sports and how is the delay on it? I only really care for watching sports for the most part on there, and with YouTube TV removing all of the sport channels, I just had to see what my alternatives are. I know Hulu Live is still owned by Disney, but I have to cave in lol. Feel free to tell me any cool perks or any downsides to Hulu Live, thank you!
Looking to get hulu because it seems like it has a lot of movies that I want to watch. Looking at all the plans and all I see is what they offer with each one, but not what you don't get with each one? Which plan is the best?
i have fubo and pay $100 a month for it but i also have hulu, espn+ so is hulu live worth switch from fubo and just bundling all it together?
My monthly bill just went down about $12 a month. I got an email saying my subscription had been updated, but I have no idea what the change is/was. Anyone else notice this?
The only reason I’m worried about saving money, is that I upgraded my Verizon plan last month and it came with the Disney bundle. I cancelled my Hulu subscription and set up the bundle through Verizon just as the instructions said. But I didn’t realize I couldn’t get live tv with that deal so I canceled the Verizon deal and re-enabled my Hulu subscription. Worried I messed something up. Maybe they just gave me a retention discount since I cancelled and returned?
Update: thank you all for your responses. Very helpful.
The math isn't mathing for me... We all know the "no ads" only applies to on-demand content, and I'm fine with that. And I already have a Disney+ with no ads paid up for a year. So, would I REALLY have to pay $20/mo. MORE just to not have ads with on-demand Hulu content?
I mean, much of the on-demand my family watches (old Mythbusters, Mysteries at the Museum, ect.) is available on HBO Max for $15/mo., which is obviously $5/mo. cheaper.
Can someone confirm this is true?!
We found we were hardly watching live tv anymore. Instead, we have the Hulu, Disney+, and ESPN Unlimited all with ads with HBO Max, Starz, and Showtime/Paramount+ add ons. Our bill went from $123 to $56 (We get a $7 rebate by paying for Hulu with my Blue Cash AMEX card). We also have Prime Video, AMC+, Netflix, Apple TV+ from Tmobile, and Peacock through Walmart+. There’s also Pluto and Tubi TV. If my husband can still get his fill of sports broadcasts, we will probably keep it at this.
I’ve had live tv+ no ads since 2020. The price was $60.99 a month. Now the price is changing to $89.99 a month?! I understood the increase when ESPN+ and Disney+ got added to the bundle, but since then there has not been anything of note to account for the constant increases. Agree? Disagree?
