If you\u2019ve been thinking about pulling the trigger on an HBO Max subscript<\/a>ion but can\u2019t stomach the thought of adding another $15 to your monthly expenses, the service\u2019s upcoming ad-supported tier might be just what the doctor ordered. Reportedly arriving in June, it should cost just $9.99 a month.<\/p>\n

Of course, there will be other limitations here aside from just the addition of ads. For starters, immedia<\/a>te access to Warner Brothers movies<\/a> will be limited to the premium tier. That\u2019s a big loss for the more affordable version, though the playing field will be a bit more level next year as it has already been announced that same-day movie releases will halt at the end of 2021.<\/p>\n

HBO has also made it clear that its original content, like Game<\/a> of Thrones, won\u2019t get ads, so even subscribers of the more affordable level can continue to watch the shows as they were originally intended. Interestingly, the original report<\/a> notes that WarnerMedia considered selling a version of the service with\u00a0just<\/em> HBO Max content for just $4.99 a month, but that idea was killed for the combined HBO + HBO Max product. Makes sense, really\u2014these services are already convoluted enough.<\/p>\n

Otherwise, the two services appear to be basically the same. Just, you know, one has ads and costs less while the other has ads and costs more. If release-day Warner Bros movies are a big deal to you, perhaps you should consider subscribing to the premium tier now, then dropping back to the ad-supported tier at the end of 2021. Seems like a fair tradeoff to me.<\/p>\n
