the stick of disallow account sharing on netflix It has reached all homes in Spain, and this has led many users to consider unsubscribing from the service because the cost of it is not worth it. Do you think the price of Netflix is too high now that you have to pay more to have more accounts? What if Netflix reconsiders?
the fair price
The general trend of users has been to protest en masse and threaten to unsubscribe from Netlfix. We don’t know how many of these threats have come to pass, but the general atmosphere is quite heated. The reason, as always in these cases, is the price, since to have two additional profiles you have to necessarily contract the option with 4K resolution, whose price is 17.99 euros. To this figure, we must add 5.99 euros for each extra profile, up to a total of 2 extra profiles.
This means that two people can use it inside the house, and two others outside. Doing the math, with two invited friends and your own Netflix account, the expenses to be divided would come out to 10 euros per month per personwhen before the 17.99 euros could be divided into 4 people in total (owner and three friends), going out to 4.5 euros per person per month.
Those 5.5 euros more that all users have been forced to pay is what has triggered the barrage of criticism of the service, so the company is probably taking stock and deciding what to do in the coming months. But are you going to do anything?
Price drop in Latin America
Before the account sharing block arrived in Spain, the function had already been tested in several Latin American countries. These tests were precisely what alerted many users in time, since the streaming giant’s decision was clear: the password is not shared.
Months later the blockade reached Spain, and now curiously, new changes come to Latin America. And it is that users from Bolivia, Cuba, Venezuela, Nicaragua, Paraguay, El Salvador, Dominican Republic, Honduras, Ecuador, Guatemala and Panama have received an email informing that the subscription fee will reduce its price to offer the following:
Panama
- Basic plan: $4.99 (was $8.99)
- Standard Plan: $8.99 (was $12.99)
- premium plan: $12.99 (was $15.99)
Bolivia, Cuba, Venezuela, Nicaragua and Paraguay
- Basic Plan: $3.99 (was $7.99)
- Standard Plan: $5.99 (was $10.99)
- Premium Plan: $7.99 (was $13.99)
El Salvador, Dominican Republic, Honduras, Ecuador and Guatemala
- Basic plan: $4.99 (was $7.99)
- Standard Plan: $7.99 (was $10.99)
- premium plan: $10.99 (was $13.99)
Taking this into account, now it will only remain to be seen if the measure will be transferred to other countries that applied the account sharing restriction, so we will have to be very attentive to see if this happens soon. Would you keep the service if the monthly fee dropped? How much are you willing to pay?
