Netflix raised prices again. The Standard plan is now over $15 a month in most countries, the Premium plan with 4K is pushing $23, and the ad-free experience that used to be the default now costs extra. For a single platform, that is real money especially when you are paying for multiple streaming services on top of it.
Here is how to get Netflix at a fraction of the standard price in 2026.
Why Netflix Is Worth Keeping
Despite the price hikes, Netflix remains the streaming service with the most consistently high-quality original content. The platform continues to produce major titles across drama, documentary, and international content that no other platform matches in volume. Squid Game, Stranger Things, Bridgerton, Wednesday, Ozark — the back catalog alone justifies keeping access. The question is not whether Netflix is worth having. It is whether you have to pay $15 to $23 a month to keep it.
Option 1: Buy Through Norths Clearance
The most affordable way to get Netflix in 2026 is through Norths Clearance. We offer Netflix access at significantly below the standard subscription price through bulk subscription pricing. Credentials are delivered within 24 hours and every purchase comes with a money-back guarantee.
Browse our entertainment collection for current Netflix pricing and availability. This is the same Netflix everyone else is watching, just without the retail markup. Pair it with Max or Amazon Prime Video to build a full streaming stack for less than one standard Netflix Premium subscription.
Option 2: Netflix Ad-Supported Plan
Netflix's ad-supported plan is the cheapest official option, currently priced at around $7 a month in the US. You get access to most of the Netflix catalog with limited ads. A handful of titles are not available on this tier due to licensing restrictions, but the vast majority of shows and movies are accessible. If you can tolerate short ad breaks, this is the most affordable way to subscribe directly through Netflix.
Option 3: Bundle With Mobile Carriers
Several mobile carriers include Netflix in their premium plans at no additional cost. T-Mobile, Verizon, and others have offered Netflix bundles that effectively make the streaming subscription free as part of your phone plan. Check what your current carrier offers before paying for Netflix separately.
Building Your Full Streaming Stack
Netflix pairs naturally with Max for HBO prestige content, Amazon Prime Video for exclusive theatrical releases, and YouTube Premium for ad-free YouTube. Browse the full entertainment collection at Norths Clearance for current pricing on every streaming platform.
The Bottom Line
If you want Netflix without paying $15 plus per month, Norths Clearance is the answer. Same Netflix, same content, fraction of the price.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the cheapest way to get Netflix in 2026?
The cheapest way is through Norths Clearance, which offers Netflix access at significantly below the retail subscription price through bulk subscription pricing. The second cheapest official option is Netflix's ad-supported plan at around $7 a month in the US. Carrier bundles (T-Mobile, Verizon) can make Netflix effectively free as part of a phone plan, so checking your carrier is also worth doing before paying separately.
Is the Netflix ad-supported plan worth it?
For most viewers, yes. The ad-supported plan gives access to the vast majority of Netflix's catalog including all major originals. A small number of titles are excluded due to licensing restrictions, but they represent a tiny fraction of what most people watch. The ads are typically short breaks that most viewers find tolerable in exchange for the lower price. If you primarily watch long-form series in binges, the interruptions are more noticeable.
Can I still get Netflix without ads if I buy through Norths Clearance?
Yes. Norths Clearance provides access to Netflix at the tier you purchase, including ad-free tiers. Browse the entertainment collection for current available options and pricing. The access you get is full Netflix access at the corresponding tier, just at a significantly lower cost than buying directly from Netflix.
Is it worth having both Netflix and Max?
For households that watch regularly, yes. Netflix leads on volume and variety of originals. Max is unmatched for prestige drama from the HBO library. Running both at Norths Clearance pricing costs less than a single standard Netflix subscription at retail. Read our Netflix vs Max comparison to see which fits your viewing habits better.
Does Netflix still work with VPN in 2026?
Netflix has significantly improved its VPN detection over the years and actively blocks most VPN services. Accessing geo-restricted content via VPN has become less reliable and increasingly violates Netflix's terms of service. This guide does not recommend VPN use for bypassing regional restrictions. Buying through Norths Clearance is the legitimate, reliable way to access Netflix at below retail pricing.
What other streaming services are available through Norths Clearance?
Norths Clearance offers discounted access to Netflix, Max, Amazon Prime Video, and YouTube Premium. Browse the full entertainment collection for all available streaming services and current pricing. Building a full multi-platform streaming stack through Norths Clearance costs a fraction of subscribing to each service at retail.
