The price increase is the first time the service has increased prices for all of its subscription plans (it had previously not raised the price of its US$8 basic subscription).
Netflix announced on Wednesday that it has raised the price of its subscription plans in the United States, as well as in 40 Latin American countries.
The basic plan, which does not allow HD streams, increased from US$8 to US$9 per month.
The service last increased subscription prices in the United States in 2017.
