An extra payment may be implemented for people who share their accounts with people outside of their homes, a practice that is common with the streaming service.
Sharing accounts between households impacts its ability to invest in great new TV and films for its members, and so it has been exploring ways to allow users to share outside of their households by paying a bit more.
Extra payments will be made for those who provide access to those who they don't live with in a test that will be launched over the next few weeks. In Costa Rica, the monthly fee for adding two extra members to your account is 2 dollars, and inChile it is 2 dollars. In Costa Rica, the cost of a month of Netflix is between $8 and $15 a month.
People who share an account with other people will be able to move their profile to a paid account or an extra member account if they choose to.
It will be working to understand the utility of these two features in three countries before making changes in other countries. Until now, the service has ignored password sharing, despite the fact that it has always included wording in its terms and services that prevents account usage across multiple households.
The only streaming service that charges by quality is Netflix. In the United States, the Basic no-HD plan that allows for streaming on a single device, the Standard HD plan that allows for two people to watch at the same time, and the Premium plan with Ultra HD streaming and support for four simultaneous viewers are all free.
