Netflix with ads: Pricing and features
Netflix claims the introduction of the Basic with Ads plan will not have an impact on any of its other plans. Moreover, the company claims to offer everything it wants about Netflix at a lower price just with a few ads in the future.
Those ads will consist of both pre-roll and mid-roll advertisements. This means youll see ads before your show or movie starts to play and in the middle of the content. However, Netflix predicts that a limited number of movies and television shows will not be available due to licensing restrictions. The company promises this to be something its intending to change for the future.
Netflix claims that the ad-supported tier will not allow people to download content for offline viewing. This is because the advertisements must be inserted per-stream basis.
Netflix''s new ad-supported plan tier has risen from $6.99 per month to $19.99 per month.
