To save money on Hulu, you can subscribe to the ad-supported plan for $7.99/month(or $79.99/year). If you are a die-hard Hulu fan who watch Hulu every month and don’t care about the ads, then get the Hulu annual plan. The annual subscription also ensures you the low price for the whole year and price hike doesn’t affect before your next billing date. For example, Hulu increased its ad-supported plan from $6.99 to $7.99 per month($69.99 to$79.99 per year) and ad-free plan from $12.99 to $14.99 per month in October, 2022. If you subscribe to annual plan before that, you can still enjoy Hulu one year for $69.99.
Hulu does not currently offer any annual subscription option for No Ads subscribers. However, with Pazu Hulu Video Downloader, you can easily download your favorite Hulu movies and TV shows to MP4 and watch them offline anywhere without ads.
The premise of saving money with Hulu annual plan is that you watch Hulu every month, otherwise, subscribe to Hulu monthly plan when you have something to watch and cancel it before next billing date is more appropriate. You can also try to cancel your subscription, sometimes you may get a retention discount.
