As of October 2026, Hulu's own site sells Hulu inside bundles: the Disney+, Hulu Bundle is $12.99 a month with ads and $21.99 a month without ads. Hulu + Live TV, which also includes Disney+ and ESPN Select, is $99.99 a month.
Here's the part that surprises people. When you type hulu.com today, the welcome and plan pages open the Disney+ sign up page, and the plans shown there are bundles. I couldn't find a standalone Hulu only price on any of the pages I checked, so this guide sticks to the plans Hulu itself is selling right now, with the exact prices from that page.
Hulu bundle prices
| Plan | What's included | Price per month |
|---|---|---|
| Disney+, Hulu Bundle | Disney+ (With Ads) and Hulu (With Ads) | $12.99, or $11.99 a month for the first 6 months |
| Disney+, Hulu Bundle Premium | Disney+ and Hulu without ads | $21.99, or $19.99 a month for the first 6 months |
| Disney+, Hulu, HBO Max Bundle (With Ads) | All three services with ads | $21.99 |
| Disney+, Hulu, HBO Max Bundle (No Ads) | All three services without ads | $34.99 |
| Disney+, Hulu, ESPN Select Bundle | Disney+ and Hulu with ads, plus ESPN Select | $21.99 |
| Disney+, Hulu, ESPN Unlimited Bundle | Disney+ and Hulu with ads, plus ESPN Unlimited | $35.99 |
The six month prices are an upfront deal, not a monthly discount you can walk away from. The page says the Disney+, Hulu Bundle costs $71.94 for 6 months and then renews monthly at $12.99. If you cancel during that first term, the cancellation takes effect at the end of the 6 months.
Hulu + Live TV price
If you want live channels instead of cable, Hulu + Live TV is the plan to look at. The Disney+ page lists two versions:
| Live TV plan | Price per month | Included |
|---|---|---|
| Hulu + Live TV, Disney+ and ESPN Select | $99.99 (promo: $49.99 for 1 month) | Live TV on Hulu with 100+ channels, Hulu and Disney+ libraries, live sports with ESPN |
| Hulu Premium + Live TV, Disney+ Premium and ESPN Select | $109.99 | The same, with Hulu and Disney+ movies and series without ad breaks |
The $49.99 first month offer is for the Hulu (With Ads) + Live TV plan only. The page says it ends at 9:00 AM PT on 10/26/26, and after the first month it renews at $99.99 a month or the then current regular price. There are no refunds or credits for partial months.
Add-ons and the student price
- ESPN Unlimited can be added to a Disney+, Hulu plan for $31.99 a month
- The NFL+ Premium bundle with Disney+, Hulu and ESPN Unlimited is $45.99 a month, or $54.99 for the premium version
- College and grad students get the Disney+, Hulu Bundle (With Ads) for $6.49 a month while their student status stays verified, then $12.99 a month
The student offer is the cheapest legal way into Hulu I found on the site. It's for US residents aged 18 or over, and it switches to the regular price once your enrolment can't be verified.
The catch with watching Hulu in the Disney+ app
Bundles don't merge the two apps completely. The page says only select Hulu content is available in the Disney+ app, and additional content is only available in the Hulu app. In the HBO Max bundle, the same applies in reverse: some HBO content shows inside Hulu, but the full library needs the HBO Max app. Download rules also vary between the services in a bundle, so check each app if offline viewing matters to you.
How to pick the right Hulu plan
- If you only want Hulu and Disney+ shows and can live with ads, start with the Disney+, Hulu Bundle at $12.99.
- If ads ruin it for you, the Premium bundle at $21.99 removes them from both services' movies and series.
- If you also watch HBO shows, compare the three service bundle at $21.99 with ads against paying for HBO Max separately.
- If you want live news and sports without cable, price Hulu + Live TV at $99.99 against the alternatives before you commit.
- If you're a student, check the $6.49 offer first.
For live TV, it's worth comparing like for like. The YouTube TV plans cover a similar job, and the Disney+ price guide shows what you'd pay for Disney+ on its own if Hulu isn't the draw.
Switching or cancelling a Hulu bundle
The plan page says you can switch or cancel any time, with changes taking effect at the end of your billing period. The exception is the six month deal: cancel during that first term and it ends when the 6 months are up, not straight away. Live TV follows the monthly rule, with no refunds or credits for partial months, so the best day to cancel is just before your next bill.
My verdict
Hulu is now a bundle product in everything but name, and that's no bad thing for most households: $12.99 a month gets you both Disney+ and Hulu with ads, which is cheap for two libraries. Where people overspend is Live TV. At $99.99 a month it's a cable replacement, not a streaming add on, so only take it if you'll watch live channels every week. Everyone else should start on the basic bundle and upgrade only if the ads drive you mad.
