Disney Partners with TikTok to Possibly Unlock a Free Disney+ Tier
Disney+ subscription prices rise every year, and finally, a new alternative is being explored. See how a partnership with TikTok may make this dream possible.
Disney+ Tiers
Disney+ debuted in 2019 and has seen many changes over the years. One of the biggest changes, of course, was price increases.
In August 2022, Disney+ introduced an ad-supported tier. Even with this change, every year the price for both the Basic subscription (ad-supported) and the Premium subscription (no ads) continues to climb.
Currently, the price for the Basic subscription (ad-supported) is $12.99, and the Premium subscription (no ads) is $19.99.
Disney and TikTok Partnership
The Walt Disney Company and TikTok just announced a new partnership that will allow fans and content creators a way to "bring an expansive collection of thoughtfully curated Disney-centric fan-created content from TikTok to the Disney+ app."
This first will launch in the United States for participating creators to develop short-form videos that will be available on both TikTok and Verts on Disney+. The best part is that creators will have access to Disney content covering Disney's library of films and franchises.
About three months ago, Disney+ added "Verts" as a "New way to find what to watch". Guests can now easily scroll a vertical feed of movie and show scenes from their mobile app.
Possible Free Disney+ Tier
According to Business Insider, a third option may be available soon. The best part is that this would be a FREE tier. Many think Verts may be where the free Disney+ tier would reside. This would only offer limited free access, but at least this comes without a large subscription fee every month.
