How Apple TV+ pricing works
Apple TV+ is a subscription video service delivering Apple’s original series, films, and documentaries. Pricing follows a straightforward monthly model with meaningful annual savings, a free trial that can convert to a paid subscription, and flexible add-ons. Costs vary by country and currency, and the service is available as a standalone purchase or bundled inside Apple One tiers that include additional Apple services. This guide explains current rates, billing cadence, eligibility rules, and how to find region-specific prices.
Regional price overview
Below is a summary of representative monthly and annual prices for the standard Apple TV+ subscription (with notes where annual billing is unavailable). Costs differ by region due to taxes, currency, and local market factors, and introductory offers may further lower first‑year bills.
| Region / Currency | Monthly price | Annual price (billed monthly) | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| United States (USD) | $4.99 | $49.99 | Annual savings versus monthly in some regions; paid via Apple ID |
| United Kingdom (GBP) | £4.99 | £49.99 | Annual equivalent approximate; monthly remains standard |
| Canada (CAD) | $7.99 | Not annual option | Annual billing not offered; monthly standard |
| Australia (AUD) | $9.99 | Not annual option | Annual billing not offered; monthly standard |
| India (INR) | ₹499 | Often a yearly bundle price; monthly may differ |
Free trial and first‑year offers
New Apple ID holders can typically start with a one‑month free trial of Apple TV+. Trial rules require a valid payment method on file and may not be available to existing subscribers or in all regions. After the trial, the subscription automatically renews at the regular monthly or annual rate unless canceled before renewal. In some markets, Apple promotes a discounted first year when you subscribe annually; specifics depend on local pricing and ongoing promotions.
Apple One bundles and value comparison
How Apple One includes Apple TV+
Apple One bundles can lower the effective cost if you use multiple Apple services. The tiers include:
- Individual: Apple TV+ added to your plan
- Family: Up to six family members, includes Apple TV+
- Premium: Adds Apple Fitness+ and Apple Music; still includes Apple TV+
By bundling, you may save compared to purchasing each service separately. Compare the bundle price against your current services; if you plan to use Fitness+ or iCloud storage, the value increases further.
Device and access rules
One subscription supports multiple Apple devices and sign‑ins under Family Sharing (up to six family members). You can watch on iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Apple TV, Mac, and supported smart TVs and streaming devices via the Apple TV app. Restrictions, parental controls, and simultaneous stream limits depend on the plan and regional policies, so confirm current rules in your account’s settings.
Managing your subscription
To view or change your Apple TV+ subscription:
- On web: apple.com/account
- On device: Settings > [your name] > Subscriptions
You can switch between monthly and annual billing where offered, add bundles, or cancel anytime. Cancellation stops renewal but retains access until the end of the paid period. Keep an eye on renewal dates and price updates, especially if promotions expire.
Bottom line on cost
Apple TV+ typically costs $4.99/month in the United States and about £4.99/month in the United Kingdom, with annual billing at a discount where available. Canada, Australia, and some regions currently offer only monthly pricing. New users may qualify for a free first month, and Apple One bundles can reduce overall cost if you use multiple Apple services.
