The way we watch TV has changed a lot over the past decade. Many households have replaced their single cable box with streaming services that allow for on-demand viewing of everything from classic movies to live news and sports.

Now, two popular streaming services have announced they’ll increase their prices in the coming months. Read on to see which subscriptions will soon cost you more.

Weeks later, the company’s executives signaled a significant change in a company memo sent to employees, announcing that they planned to bring commercials to the streaming service with the addition of an ad-supported subscription tier , The New York Times first reported. The internal communication also said the company would begin to crack down on password sharing among its users when it rolls out the new ad-supported tier, ending a long-running unspoken policy of allowing shared accounts among family members and groups of friends.

But Netflix isn’t the only service making changes to its subscription policies and pricing.

Those willing to watch commercials may still be able to save some money by combining multiple services : The company said it would also be adding two new bundle plans to its offerings, giving customers the choice of Dinsey+ and Hulu with ads for $9.99 per month, or access to all three channels with ads for a monthly charge of $12.99.

Executives with the company said the new offerings would help customers find what they wanted in a subscription. “We expect the ad tier to be popular, and we expect some people to want to stay with ad-free,” Christine McCarthy , Chief Financial Officer for Disney, said on a conference call with analysts, per the AP.
