The Netflix cheap fare version arrives in Spain. After premiering in 10 countries throughout November, it hits the final region promised for this round of Netflix ads. Starting today, November 10, you can already rent and access this rate.
This streaming platform announced in the middle of the year. In any case, this was not a surprise. The platform’s results were not what was expected after years of user growth – Netflix first showed a decline, which now seems to have recovered. It was also at odds with the billboard’s rising prices and declining quality to the detriment of other platforms. Placing ads was the best way to try to attract new users, mostly the youngest ones, who were not convinced by the platform.
It took less than 6 months to get started. Long before its direct competitor Disney+, which also announced a price increase and promotional model.
Either way, we’ll explain how the new cheap ad-supported Netflix plan works and what you need to keep in mind before hiring one.
First, the price of the new Netflix tariff
The new cheap Ad-supported Netflix plan released today in Spain costs €5.99.
| subscription plan | Basic with ads | Significant | Standard | premium |
| Monthly cost | 5.99 euros (Spain) / 99 pesos (Mexico) | €7.99 (Spain)/139 Pesos (Mexico) | €12.99 (Spain)/219 Pesos (Mexico) | €17.99 (Spain)/299 Pesos (Mexico) |
| Permission | 720p (HD) | 720p (HD) | 1080p (HD) | 4K+HDR |
| Devices: TV, PC, smartphone and tablet | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
| Immediate Cancellation | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
| downloads | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | |
| ads | ✓ |
In comparison, it’s significantly cheaper than the most expensive version in Netflix’s price group. This, at a price of 17.99 euros, is one of the most expensive on the market.
This new cheap Netflix plan isn’t for everyone
At the time of the presentation of the new Netflix tariff, this information was unknown. It later emerged that not all devices have what it takes to offer an ad-supported model.
- It is not compatible with Apple TV.
- It is not compatible with PlayStation 3. Although it will be compatible with models 4 and 5 of the game console.
- It is not compatible with the Windows application.
- Netflix cheap rate with ads can only be seen on Apple devices with iOS15 and above.
- The same for Android, where it will only be available on Android 7 and later.
- It will only be compatible with Google T Chromecast and Amazon Fire TV.
You will lose downloads and quality
This is one of the biggest concerns or questions you will have to ask yourself when accessing this cheap Netflix plan and with ads. Are you an active content downloader? Yeah, it’s not your bet, because it does not allow you to save content in the application during a low connection. The reason is simple: with this system, the platform cannot offer ads to users or count views.
On the other hand, something that also takes a backseat with the lower price of this plan is the quality of the content. Maximum 720p compared to 4K higher speed Netflix.
How many ads will I have to watch?
Ads will be 20 seconds long and can be seen before, during, and after the content plays. Just like on YouTube or other platforms with ads, they won’t be able to stop or pass. You will need to see them in order to access the final content.
Ads will be segmented according to users’ tastes and the content they consume. Thus providing a greater impact on the audience. All those who appeal to sex, violence, tobacco and discrimination will be excluded from content.
