The landscape of streaming services has shifted as 2026 ushers in notable price increases across various platforms. Among the changes, Crunchyroll plans to raise its subscription fees starting March 4, with the Fan plan now priced at $10 monthly, up by $2 from previous rates.
Similarly, Amazon Music Unlimited has announced a price hike effective February 3, raising individual plans to $13 per month, while family plans will cost $22. Current subscribers will see these adjustments reflected in their bills by March 5.
In January, Paramount Plus also increased its pricing, with the Essential plan rising to $9 monthly and the Premium plan to $14. Spotify followed suit with its own adjustments, raising individual plans to $13 and family plans to $22.
As consumers navigate these changes, options remain to manage costs, including cancelling subscriptions, rotating services, or seeking discounts.
