Netflix has apparently sent out the first cancellation notices for its ad-free basic subscription, at least according to a screenshot published by a US user on the Reddit platform.
It shows the email in which Netflix asks him to change his basic account to one of the three subscription models currently available. Failure to do so could result in termination by the streaming provider. The change must be made by July 1, 2024 at the latest. June 2024 is therefore planned as the last month for the ad-free basic offer.
It has been known since January 2024 that Netflix wants to migrate customers to one of the new subscription models that are more lucrative for the provider. The annual report at the time stated: "We plan to discontinue the basic plan in some markets where the advertising subscription is available." In Germany, the subscription model has no longer been offered to new customers since October 2023.
Possible alternatives to the basic model
Those who want to stay with the streaming service currently have the choice between three monthly cancelable subscriptions. The standard subscription with advertising costs five euros per month and allows full HD and two devices at the same time. For 14 euros, users receive the same offer without commercial breaks. If you have a larger family or simply want to watch 4K and HDR recordings, you have to go for the premium subscription. Up to four people can watch at the same time, six can download at the same time and Dolby Atmos is only available with the Premium plan. All subscriptions can only be shared with people living in the same household.
