You will pay more for this streaming. Prices go up sharply
SkyShowtime verifies price lists after 3 years
You can watch brilliant series on Skyshowtime Yellowstone, Landman: The Negotiator, Dexter: New Blood or spend an evening with a movie How to Train Your Dragon Whether Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning. It’s hard not to get the impression that the platform has become very interested in the Polish market, because its offer has been significantly enriched with high-quality productions recently. And not with subtitles, as on Apple TV, but with a Polish voice-over.
Currently, the monthly price of a SkyShowtime subscription for the Standard plan with ads is PLN 19.99, and for the Standard plan – PLN 24.99. In both cases, the maximum resolution of the shared video stream is Full HD (2 screens simultaneously, 30 files to download per month).
The price of the Premium plan, which gives access to 4K content, viewing on 5 devices at the same time and the ability to download up to 100 files per month, is PLN 49.99. Package prices decrease significantly when choosing payment in advance for 6 months (by 33%) or annual subscription (by 40%). Standard and Premium plans have no ads.
Increases in the lower plans
As we read on the Wirtualnemedia.pl website, the new price list will come into force on February 24, and the changes apply to the two cheapest plans. The Standard package with ads increased from PLN 19.99 to PLN 24.99, and the Standard package from PLN 24.99 to PLN 34.99. Importantly, current platform subscribers will not be eligible for the increase.
So this is it last chance to access this platform at an exceptionally low price compared to other VoD services in Poland. SkyShowtime is of its word – lucky people who chose the service in 2023 with a premiere discount 50% off forever they still pay only PLN 12.49 and there will be no increases here.
It will only be more expensive
It is impossible not to notice that although individual fees for streaming services are not high in Poland (we pay less than our Western neighbors), when we add up several such packages, it becomes less and less cheerful. The solution used to be sharing accounts, but now giants such as Netflix are blocking it more and more effectively and expect additional fees.
As a result, many Poles decide to rotate the platforms instead of maintaining them all at the same time and have, for example, a month with Netflix and then a month with Disney. Still others return to pirate sites and linear television, which, contrary to analysts’ gloomy forecasts, is still doing very well.
