• Prices of streaming services continue to rise. 
• Netflix and Disney have upped monthly fees in recent years. 
• However it is more niche offerings which will set you back the most. 

The all-you-can-eat buffet of streaming services available to us in 2024 means you may have lost track of what you are forking out each month. Sure it is a smorgasbord of options, from live premier league football to anime and handpicked cinema classics, but that comes at a cost. 

Prices have continued to rise across the major names like Netflix and Disney all announce increases in recent years. The water is further muddied by the multiple subscription tiers offered by some of the services - meaning you may be paying more than you need without realising it.
