In a significant shift, Disney+ has revamped its subscription offerings in Singapore. The service now features two distinct tiers: Disney+ Standard and Disney+ Premium, priced at S$12.98 and S$15.98 per month, respectively. This change marks a departure from the original monthly rate of S$11.98, which did not include tier differentiation.
Disney+ Standard: Features and pricing
At S$12.98, the Disney+ Standard plan allows subscribers to download any series or movie. This plan offers video streaming in up to 1080p Full HD quality and supports 5.1-channel surround sound audio. Additionally, users can simultaneously stream on two devices, making it a suitable option for individuals or small households.
Disney+ Premium: Enhanced viewing experience
Priced slightly higher at S$15.98, the Disney+ Premium tier elevates the viewing experience. Subscribers can download content and enjoy streaming up to 4K Ultra HD and HDR video quality. The audio experience is also enhanced with support for Dolby Atmos. Notably, this plan allows streaming on four devices concurrently, catering to larger households or groups.
StarHub’s integration with Disney+ Plans
Coinciding with Disney+’s new structure, StarHub has modified its Disney+ offerings. The telecom provider presents Disney+ Standard and Disney+ Premium at the same price. Additionally, StarHub is integrating these options into its Fibre Broadband and TV+ or HomeHub+ packages for new or re-contracting customers. Current StarHub customers with Disney+ access will continue their service until the end of their bundled period, after which they will be upgraded to Disney+ Premium.
This update follows Disney+’s announcement of an upcoming ad-supported tier and plans to restrict password sharing. It also comes in the wake of Netflix revising its subscription prices in the United States, which might influence its pricing strategy in Singapore.
