TC Teach: How to change your Netflix subscription plan

Considered by many to be one of the pioneers when it comes to streaming, Netflix offers a very complete set of plans, ranging from cheaper options, with ads, to more expensive options, with superior playback quality and a greater number of simultaneous devices.

Today, continuing our list of tips and tutorials, you can see below how to change your account plan and some details behind this change!

If you need to include one more device for simultaneous playback or are looking for more image quality, changing your plan to a more expensive option may be the best alternative.

On the other hand, if you’re looking to cut costs and don’t care about the best playback quality, without the need for many simultaneous devices, going for a more basic plan within the platform might fit your plan better.

If you switch to a more expensive plan, the change will take effect immediately so you can take advantage of all the new features. In this case, the charge will change according to the remaining balance of the last payment.

If you switch to a cheaper plan, the change will only take effect on your next charge. This will allow you to continue using all the features of the more expensive plan until the expiration date.
