Netflix has about 200 million paid subscribers, about 80 million of those being Americans. The platform had autonomy in the OTT sector for many a year. Despite competitors like Hulu, Prime, Disney+ Hotstar, HBO, Netflix continues to have the largest population of clientele. This is because of the quantity of content that is available for a relatively smaller price.

Available in over 190 countries, the platform is expanding at a rate faster than ever. Being the largest OTT platform in the world isn’t the end result of Netflix. They plan on traversing the field of gaming and other sectors by creating a full-on experience that isn’t limited to streaming for their users.

Types of Netflix subscription plans

The advantage Netflix has over its competitors is the variety of content it offers. None of this content is limited to any user that has paid for a subscription, irrespective of the plan they chose. This allows users to choose whatever works for their requirements and budget, without having to compromise on the content available to them.

However, the content available to a user depends on their geographical location. The platform has an ever-growing list of titles, including shows, movies, Netflix Originals, and documentaries. Add to that the interviews and BTS videos the platform offers on YouTube, Twitter, and other social media platforms and you have a 360° user experience. The types of Netflix plans are:

  • Mobile plans for users with only one mobile device to stream titles on. This plan doesn’t offer HD or laptop/TV availability.
  • Basic plans offer all the amenities that Netflix has, except the HD viewership. The subscribers can use the app/website only on one device at a time.
  • Then comes Netflix’s most popular plan- Standard. The plan allows 2 users to stream at one time along with downloads in two different devices. Standard plans also offer titles in HD.
  • Then comes Premium plan, the best Netflix offers. A user has the option to stream and download titles on 4 different devices of any kind at the same time. They also have the titles in Ultra HD.

Mentioned above are all the general plans the platform offers to viewers across the globe. Their price determines the number of Netflix titles available to them. Exchange rates, taxation systems, and other variables, like licenses, determine the price structure of the platform in any country. Despite the prices constantly rising, the cost of Netflix in Argentina has been the lowest per title when we compare the number of titles and the price users pay.
