How much is Hulu?

Hulu (With Ads) costs $12 a month or $120 a year. This plan offers ad-supported access to the service's full catalog of content. Hulu also offers an ad-supported student plan for a discounted price of $2 a month.

If you want commercial-free streaming, you can upgrade to Hulu (No Ads) for $19 a month. This plan also adds download support, enabling the ability to save titles to watch offline.

Both options come with a 30-day free streaming trial, and they each provide full access to Hulu's entire library of on-demand shows and movies, including Hulu exclusives like "The Handmaid's Tale," network TV favorites like "Abbott Elementary," and classic sitcoms like "The Golden Girls." 

Subscribers who want live TV, in addition to Hulu's on-demand programs, also have a few options. Hulu + Live TV starts at $90 a month and adds over 95 popular channels from cable and broadcast TV, as well as DVR and complimentary access to Disney Plus and ESPN Select/Unlimited via the ESPN streaming service. Hulu + Live TV sometimes has a three-day free trial for its base ad-supported tier, although the ad-free bundle version never offers a trial period. You can learn more about this plan in our guide detailing how to watch live TV on Hulu.

August 23, 2025 -

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.

Hulu + Live TV review: The single best value in live-TV streaming services
April 1, 2025 - It is frustrating, though, that Hulu doesn't do 1080p across the board — which, incidentally, YouTube TV does. On the other hand, this really matters most for sports, as most live-TV programming (news channels, reality shows, sitcom reruns, etc.) doesn't benefit that much from the jump to 1080p.

Hulu with Live TV review: Four streaming services for the price of one
If you want Hulu content more than live TV content, then this might arguably be a positive. But given you're spending $90 for a live TV streaming service, my guess is you'd like to focus on the live TV content at least as much as the streaming content Hulu with Live TV has to offer. Hulu with Live TV isn't perfect, but it's a great value
