It is no news that Netflix is planning to launch a cheaper subscription with ads. The American streaming giant has already confirmed the news and is currently testing the cheaper ad tier in a few regions across America. A new report from Bloomberg says that the ad tier could cost around $7, meaning it will be even cheaper in Pakistan.
The most expensive Netflix subscription in Pakistan is currently offered for Rs. 1,100. The Premium tier offers 4K HDR streaming and you can watch it on your TV, smartphone, computer, or tablet across multiple screens at the same time. This tier costs more than Rs. 4,000 in the US.
So if the subscription model with ads will be as cheap as $7 (Rs. 1,550) in the US, this means we can expect it to be quite cheaper in Pakistan. It may cost less than Rs 1,000, perhaps somewhere between Rs. 500 to Rs. 900. However, the ad-supported tier is going to have some downgrades.
