Streaming subscriptions in Switzerland: prices and costs
The main streaming services and their price tiers in Switzerland
When comparing streaming subscriptions in Switzerland, advertising, picture quality and contract length matter alongside the monthly price. The details for Netflix, Disney+, Apple TV and Paramount+ were checked against official sources on 8 November 2026. Swiss price confirmation for Prime Video remains outstanding. Check the current price and terms directly with the provider before subscribing.
The Netflix price increase in October 2025 was reported by Digitec. Netflix currently lists Swiss monthly prices of CHF 14.90 for Basic, CHF 22.90 for Standard and CHF 29.90 for Premium. A Swiss ad-supported plan is not listed here as a confirmed offer. Find out more in our Netflix price comparison for Switzerland.
Disney+ lists regular Swiss monthly prices of CHF 9.90 for Standard with Ads, CHF 16.90 for Standard and CHF 23.40 for Premium. For Prime Video, Swiss comparison sites quote CHF 9.99 a month and a seven-day free trial. During this check, these details could not be confirmed on an official Swiss offer page. Check the Swiss offer's price, trial, advertising and cancellation terms before subscribing. More details: Amazon Prime Video in Switzerland. According to Apple Switzerland, Apple TV, formerly Apple TV+, costs CHF 10.90 a month after a seven-day free trial for new subscribers. Paramount+ lists Swiss monthly prices of CHF 7.90 for Basic with Ads, CHF 12.00 for Standard and CHF 17.90 for Premium.
Prices and included features can change. Historical price comparisons are therefore not reliable evidence of a current offer. For background on earlier price increases, see the SRF programme Kassensturz Espresso.
Comparing annual costs: calculating monthly and annual subscriptions correctly
Annual costs reveal how much a subscription costs when used continuously. If the monthly price stays unchanged, the calculation is monthly price multiplied by twelve. This is an annual cost calculation, not necessarily an annual subscription.
Twelve months of Netflix Standard at CHF 22.90 a month cost CHF 274.80 in total. Disney+ Standard costs CHF 202.80 over twelve months with regular monthly billing, or CHF 169.00 with an annual subscription. The difference is CHF 33.80. Disney+ Premium is also available for CHF 234.00 a year.
Twelve months of Netflix Standard plus annual subscriptions to Disney+ Standard and Paramount+ Standard cost CHF 274.80 + 169.00 + 120.00 = 563.80. This is an example using regular prices, not a bundle offer. Notices about advertising or exceptions for individual types of content must also be considered.
The calculation excludes promotional discounts and additional charges. Paid extra members may increase the amount; check availability and prices directly with the provider. Netflix does not offer an annual subscription. Paramount+ lists annual prices of CHF 71.00 for Basic with Ads, CHF 120.00 for Standard and CHF 161.00 for Premium. Whether other services offer annual subscriptions must be checked in the relevant offer. Paying annually is particularly worthwhile for continuous use.
Minimum terms, cancellation and extra members
For regular monthly subscriptions, access after cancellation normally ends at the end of the paid billing period, not necessarily at the end of the calendar month. Netflix and Paramount+ confirm this principle. Annual subscriptions and offers with minimum terms must be considered separately. For a comparison with mobile contracts, see our guide to minimum mobile contract terms in Switzerland.
Disney+ currently also advertises monthly prices of CHF 8.90 for Standard with Ads, CHF 13.90 for Standard and CHF 17.90 for Premium with a six-month minimum term. Regular prices apply afterwards. These offers are not equivalent to subscriptions that can end freely every month. Cancellation does not automatically remove the agreed minimum term.
Netflix generally restricts sharing to one household; extra members outside it are possible only through the designated options. Paramount+'s Swiss terms also restrict account use to permanent residents of the same primary residence. Apple TV, by contrast, can be shared with up to five other family members through Family Sharing. Netflix does not offer a free trial. Apple TV and Paramount+ advertise seven-day trials for new subscribers in Switzerland; check eligibility and automatic renewal.
Sports subscriptions are a separate cost category: the competitions, broadcasting rights and contract lengths included are decisive. A historical comparison was published by Blick. This article mainly compares film and series subscriptions and does not confirm current sports promotional prices.
Which subscription suits your viewing habits?
The cheapest streaming subscription for you depends on the content you want and how you use it. Three typical profiles can help you decide.
Single person who watches occasionally: One service is often enough for occasional evenings watching a series. Rotating services can work with suitable monthly subscriptions: subscribe for two or three billing periods and cancel in time. As an example, three months of Netflix Basic at CHF 14.90 cost CHF 44.70, compared with CHF 178.80 for twelve months. The difference comes from having nine fewer months of access, not from a discount. Minimum terms and annual subscriptions are less suitable for this approach.
Couple or family with several devices: Check the number of simultaneous streams and picture quality. Disney+ Standard with Ads and Standard offer two simultaneous streams in up to Full HD; Premium offers four in up to 4K. A higher tier does not automatically permit use outside the household. Account rules and extra members need to be checked separately.
Subscriber to several services or frequent viewer: If you use three or more services continuously, annual prices, where available, can be particularly useful. Review the total regularly: it can quickly exceed CHF 500 a year.
Streaming is also often part of a wider package. If you bundle internet and TV, check whether streaming services are already included. Useful starting points are our comparisons of internet without a contract in Switzerland or Zattoo in Switzerland. Compare the total price, term and included features of the specific package.
Price check date and limits of the comparison
Checked on 8 November 2026. The current details for Netflix, Disney+, Apple TV and Paramount+ are based on the official pricing and help pages linked below. The Prime Video price remains explicitly a figure from Swiss secondary sources that has not been officially confirmed for the local market. The specific offer and terms at the time you subscribe are binding.
The annual calculations assume unchanged regular prices and continuous use for twelve months. Promotional discounts, vouchers, bundles and extra members are not included. Occasional viewers pay less only if the contract length and cancellation terms allow it. Sports rights and pay-TV packages are not covered.
The linked provider sources are used to verify prices and terms; they do not establish anything about commissions.

If you also want to optimise your mobile or internet subscription, the 2026 mobile subscription comparison is a useful next step.
