Nowadays, more and more people are choosing to subscribe to online video streaming platforms for their TV viewing pleasure, rather than paying for pricey cable TV packages.

Hulu is one of the most popular video streaming services. Like other competitors, it offers a cheaper ad-supported plan: $11.99/month (or $119.99/year).

However, if you’re bored of ads, you can get rid of them by upgrading to Hulu Premium, the ad-free subscription plan at $18.99/month.

You can also bundle Hulu with Disney+, ESPN, or HBO Max to save money. These bundles come with both ad-supported and ad-free plans. If you’re with one of the Hulu with Ads plans, follow this guide to learn how to get rid of them.
