Almost a year ago SkyShowtime came to our market. It did this with a very attractive offer that left the monthly subscription at 50% for life. Now, the company just announced some news: SkyShowtime price increases.

That’s not the only thing changing on the platform, as this price increase comes with a new plan with ads, following what Netflix or Disney+ have already done. Next, Let’s dive into all the details of this SkyShowtime price change and what the options will be next.

From 5.99 Euros to 7.99 Euros for SkyShowtime

SkyShowtime came at the right time: There were many platforms whose prices increased recently, and in addition, Netflix had just announced its new shared account policy. This was something the community didn’t like, and it was in this context that SkyShowtime came into being.

She has done this with a very interesting catalog, both for her wardrobe and her new releases in the form of TV series and movies. The platform, backed by major production companies, was a safe bet, but the most interesting thing was its price.

It was 5.99 euros per month, but only if you subscribed initially You can benefit from a 50% discount for life. This resulted in the platform costing just 2.99 euros per month; This was a very reasonable price at a time when the market was already showing signs of saturation.

Now, just a year later, SklyShowtime has announced a price increase and the creation of a new plan with ads that are slightly cheaper than the current monthly payment. We leave you two plans below:

• Standard Plan with Ads – 4.99 euros per month.
• Standard Plus Plan – 7.99 euros per month without ads.

If we choose annual subscriptionPrices are as follows:

• Standard Plan with Ads – 39.99 Euro.
• Standard Plus Plan – 62.99 euros.

SkyShowtime did not take advantage of the price increase to tout improvements in video and audio quality that were almost essential from day one. The new plans will go into effect on April 23 for both existing users and new subscriptions.

We’ve contacted SkyShowtime to ask What happens to the 50% lifetime offer?because this allows you to opt for a price of 3.99 euros per month in the Standard Plus Plan. We will update as soon as we have more information.
