Decided on which Netflix subscription to subscribe? Here’s how Netflix subscriptions work and which is the most suitable for your needs
Of the many online platforms for watching movies and TV series streaming Netflix is now one of the most used not only in Italy but worldwide, despite the recent price increase. Today you can watch Netflix content by choosing between three types of subscriptions: Basic, Standard and Premium.

But what are the differences between the three Netflix subscriptions and which subscription is better to choose? It all depends on how we want to use Netflix, because with all three subscriptions you can access all the content available on the platform, without limits, but in different ways and taking advantage of different technologies. In any case, you can always take advantage of the free month trial to see if Netflix is the right streaming platform for you and which subscription to choose.
Netflix: Base subscription
The Netflix Base subscription costs 7.99 euros per month and is a sort of gateway to the world of streamin: many of the features provided by the other two subscriptions are not available. For example, neither HD nor ultra HD (i.e. 4K) is available and all content can only be viewed at standard resolution. Also, you can only watch Netflix on one screen and not on two or more screens at the same time. The basic Netflix subscription, therefore, is suitable for those who plan to watch movies and TV series only on one device at a time, typically a smartphone or tablet. If we want to watch Netflix on a large TV, in fact, at least the HD format becomes highly recommended.
Netflix: Standard subscription
The Standard subscription to Netflix costs 11.99 euros per month. With this price, compared to the basic subscription, we have two advantages: the first is that we can see the content in HD (but not ultra HD), the second is that we can see it on two screens simultaneously. So if there are two of us at home, it is possible to watch two different programs on two different devices at the same time. With this subscription we begin to taste the true potential of Netflix and for many people the Standard subscription is the most suitable.
Netflix: Premium subscription
The Premium subscription to Netflix costs 15.99 euros per month and is the most expensive of the three. In this case, however, we do not have any technological limits: both HD and ultra HD are available and the screens on which we can watch Netflix at the same time rise to 4. For an average family, this subscription is perhaps the best, as long as the home is equipped with the right technology to take full advantage of it. For example, it’s useless to download a 4K movie if we don’t have a TV that supports this resolution. Finally, to see streaming content in 4K you need a very fast connection, at least 25 megabits per second.
