Streaming subscribers are paying more to watch ads

Commercial tiers were introduced as the budget option, but they haven’t escaped the industry’s repeated price hikes.

Apple TV is excluded because it does not offer an ad-supported tier. Prime Video is excluded because Amazon added commercials to its existing service rather than launching a separate ad tier. Paramount+ figures include its predecessor, CBS All Access.
