Dropout.tv subscriptions are about to get more expensive
In a YouTube video Friday, Dropout.tv CEO Sam Reich announced plans to increase the cost of subscriptions to the streaming service starting May 7. Monthly subscription costs will go from $5.99 to $6.99, while annual subscriptions will go from $59.99 to $69.99. However, anyone with a current Dropout subscription will remain locked into the legacy price until they change or cancel their subscription. This means if you want to secure the lowest possible price for your Dropout subscription, you should commit to an annual plan before May 7. It’s also worth noting that new subscribers can still save 20% on annual plans, and additional details have thankfully been spelled out in an FAQ on Dropout if you need more information.
This is the first time Dropout has increased its price since January 2022, and reflects a variety of factors like higher production values and inflation in addition to providing adequate compensation for staff and production teams. Reich says in the video, “To allow us to continue to operate in a healthy, sustainable way, we think that raising prices every few years to keep up with costs and inflation makes sense, but we still want to reward existing subscribers for their loyalty.”
Even with this modest price increase, Dropout.tv is still one of the best values in streaming with an awesome spread of content from the immensely popular actual play series Dimension 20, to Reich’s own game show spinoff Game Changer, and more.
