Disney+ review

Disney+ earns third place mainly through its bundles. On its own, Disney+ with ads costs $12.49 a month and Disney+ Premium without ads costs $21.49, or $214.99 a year, which Disney says saves over 16%. The better deal for most households is the Disney+, Hulu Bundle with ads at $12.99 a month, or $11.99 a month for the first 6 months on the 6-month price lock. Bundle subscribers can watch select Hulu and ESPN content right in the Disney+ app. The catalog covers Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars and National Geographic, and Disney lists a growing range of 4K UHD and Dolby Atmos titles on compatible devices. Parents get content rating filters, PIN protection and a Junior Mode. One footnote matters for ad-averse viewers: Disney says ads are still served in select live and linear content on its no-ads plans. The US App Store rating is 4.6 from 2 million ratings.
