Netflix has come along way since it was a DVD rental-by-mail service competing against Blockbuster. Unfortunately, so has its prices. With the Standard plan now setting you back a princely $15.49, we thought we’d piece together every Netflix price hike over the years in a way that’s easy to digest.

Netflix now has several plans, the names of which have changed over the years. We’ll keep things simple for this timeline by referring to each plan as it is now known. We’ll also track the price of each plan as it was for new subscribers, as that helps avoid some confusion over grandfathered plans. Finally, we’re just looking at the US here, as the Netflix price is different in every country.
