Anime streaming price hike has fans canceling subscriptions HIDIVEHIDIVE\u2019s subscription prices are set to increase and fans are canceling their plans in droves as the price of Anime streaming continues to soar. When Crunchyroll and Funimation merged, not only did digital copies disappear, but legacy subscribers of the latter saw themselves faced with a massive price hike as the two became one. And in a growing trend in the anime streaming world, one of Crunchyroll\u2019s biggest competitors, HIDIVE, is also set to increase its prices much to the disappointment of users. As first revealed in an email to subscribers, HIDIVE announced the increase of their subscription plans were increasing by a dollar each month. \u201cWe wanted to let you know about upcoming changes to your subscription. In order to continue delivering the best dubs, sub, simulcasts, uncut anime, and more, we are changing the price of HIDIVE subscriptions,\u201d the email read. \u201cAs an existing subscriber, your new rate of $5.99\/month (plus applicable taxes) will be reflected on your next billing cycle on or after April 29, 2024.\u201d Despite the price increase not being the biggest hike users have been faced with in the history of anime streaming, it\u2019s enough of an increase that several users are questioning if they should continue to use the platform amid HIDIVE\u2019s problems. \u201cSo not only is the service worse after the recent update, but they\u2019re raising prices too?\u201d a commenter said about the price increases and a recent overhaul to the website HIDIVE recently got. \u201cBad alpha site with missing features, with only three new shows next season how can you possibly justify a price increase now when your service is giving the lease it ever has?\u201d another unhappy user wrote.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
