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.
Does Hulu + Live TV include the Disney Plus and ESPN Select/Unlimited bundle?
The Disney Bundle is included in a Hulu + Live TV subscription. The subscriptions come with Disney Plus, on-demand Hulu, and ESPN Select, and you can get ESPN Unlimited access through the ESPN app by signing in with your MyDisney login info.
Hulu + Live TV costs $90 a month with the ad-supported Disney Plus bundle or $100 a month with the ad-free bundle.
What is the most user-friendly streaming service for seniors?
Before I put this together, has anyone else created a cheat sheet to help their non-tech-savvy older parents navigate Hulu with Live TV? They are voluntarily cutting the Xfinity cord and want to switch to streaming. Because we've used Hulu with Live TV for a number of years, I'd like to have them use it simply because it will be easier for me to help them navigate it.
I'm looking for short, easy-to-follow directions for the big questions they'll have as they get acclimated. Has anyone made something like this? And if the answer is no, I'm happy to share whatever I come up with for them.
