You probably shouldn\u2019t use this plan anyways. <\/p>\n

If you\u2019re one of the many that still enjoys the most affordable Basic Netflix plan<\/a> for $9.99 per month, we have some potentially bad news. Netflix no longer offers its cheapest ad-free plan in Canada, and there\u2019s a good chance it\u2019ll disapp<\/a>ear for other regions soon.<\/p>\n

Netflix currently offers a Basic plan that\u2019s a good middle ground between its new ad-supported plans for $7 and the more expensive Standard plan for $15.49 per month. It\u2019s an affordable choice that many have enjoyed for years, even if it\u2019s not that great of an option.<\/p>\n

However, the company recently removed it in Canada for new subscribers. Netflix confirmed the news to The Verge<\/em><\/a>, saying its Basic $9.99 CAD subscription is only available to existing customers.<\/p>\n

As a result, the only option now is to pay $5.99 CAD to get Netflix with ads, spend $16.49 CAD monthly on the ad-free Standard plan, or pay over $20 CAD for a premium account. And while Netflix hasn\u2019t removed the cheap plan yet in the United States, it\u2019s already hidden from the website. You\u2019ll have to tap the \u201cshow all plans\u201d during sign-up to even see an affordable $9.99 plan is available.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s worth noting that Netflix has slowly but surely increased prices over the last few years, and the Basic plan isn\u2019t all that great. You stream movies<\/a> and shows in 720p HD and can only watch on one device at a time.<\/p>\n

Most users realize that\u2019s not that great of an experience on a bigger TV or in households and end up jumping to the Standard plan with 1080p and simultaneous streams. Still, the fact that you can get a quality experience for only $10 is nice, but we have a feeling it won\u2019t be around for long.<\/p>\n

For those unaware, the new password-sharing policy went live in Canada first before eventually hitting US customers, so there\u2019s a good chance Netflix is testing this removal before bringing it to other regions.<\/p>\n

Essentially, new users in Canada will have to buy the new\u00a0ad-supported plan\u00a0or pay a lot more to access the vast collection of movies, shows, documentaries, and more available from Netflix. We\u2019re expecting the same change soon in the United States.<\/p>\n
