There are add-ons available for both the base Hulu streaming service and those exclusive to the enhanced Hulu + Live TV offering. Subscribers can add premium channels including HBO, Cinemax, Showtime, Starz, and ESPN+ to any plan for a monthly upcharge. Meanwhile, if you’re a Hulu + Live TV subscriber, there are two types of add-ons you can use. One is Feature Add-ons that increase your cloud DVR storage from 50 to 200 hours or allow you to watch on unlimited screens at home or up to five outside your home (you can also bundle these two together). The other type is Network Add-ons or additional channels you can watch live, such as sports, entertainment, or Spanish-language programming. How Much Are Hulu Add-Ons? The price of add-ons depends, but most of them range between $6.99-$14.99 per month. Note this cost is over and above the cost of your subscription, as the name “add-on” implies. Unfortunately, Hulu doesn’t offer add-on premium channels such as HBO, Showtime, and Starz as bundles. Why Can’t I Add Add-Ons to Hulu? You may notice some disabled add-ons within your account, signified by locks in place of the “plus” icons. That’s because these items, such as Enhanced Cloud DVR or Unlimited Screens, are specific to Hulu’s Live TV streaming service. If you only have the base service, you’re streaming all your content by default, so you don’t have DVR functionality. You’re also limited to watching two screens simultaneously, and you can’t upgrade this. How to Upgrade Hulu FAQ How do I cancel Hulu add-ons? Launch Hulu, select your profile icon, and then select Account. In the Subscriptions section, select Manage Add-Ons. Toggle the checkmark next to any add-on you have to an X to remove it. Select Review Changes to confirm. How much does the Hulu Disney add-on cost? Hulu offers a Disney+ with ESPN+ bundle for $19.99 per month called the Disney Bundle. If you’re already a Hulu subscriber, go to the Manage Add-Ons section of your account to add the Disney bundle. If you have the Hulu with Live TV service, it includes Disney+ in your subscription price. Was this page helpful? Thanks for letting us know!
