Is Hulu + Live TV still worth it after the price hike and upcoming app changes?

Hulu + Live TV Hikes Prices Again as Disney Plans Major Merger

Hulu + Live TV recently raised its subscription price to $89.99 per month, prompting concerns about affordability in the increasingly crowded streaming market. The service, which combines Hulu's on-demand library with more than 95 live TV channels and unlimited DVR, is also facing major changes in 2026 when Disney fully merges the Hulu app into Disney+. In addition, Hulu + Live TV's back-end operations are being aligned with Fubo, the sports-heavy streaming platform, signaling a strategic shift in how Disney distributes live content. While new customers can still get a $64.99 monthly promo for the first three months, long-time users may feel the pinch. These changes raise the question: is Hulu + Live TV still a good value—or is it time to switch?
