Comcast Reveals Bundle Price for Peacock, Apple TV+, and Netflix
May 22, 2024
Comcast has revealed its new bundle pricing plan for Peacock, Apple TV+, and Netflix streaming services.
A press release from the company reveals details regarding the joining of three top streamers at one price to lure new users and keep existing customers. Comcast has announced Xfinity StreamSaver for new and existing Xfinity Internet and TV customers.
The company promises Xfinity consumers savings of over 30% with the bundled services. These include a subscription to Netflix Standard with ads, Peacock Premium, and Apple TV+.
Dave Watson, CEO of connectivity and platforms for Comcast, announced the details on May 21 at J.P. Morgan’s 2024 Global Technology, Media, and Communications Conference. “StreamSaver is a homerun for consumers who want top-tier entertainment and live sports, and for our world-class partners Peacock, Netflix and Apple who benefit from the reach and depth of our entertainment platforms and Xfinity’s marketing engine,” he explained.

Watson added, “StreamSaver also reinforces the value of our broadband products, offering customers new ways to save money on streaming entertainment via the nation’s best and most reliable network in and out of the home.”
Existing and new Xfinity Internet or TV customers can subscribe to Xfinity StreamSaver for a price of $15 per month, without any annual contracts. Additionally, customers have the option to bundle these apps with NOW TV for a total monthly price of $30, according to the release.
Variety reported on May 14 that Comcast Chief Brian Roberts debuted the bundled trio of services at MoffettNathanson’s 2024 Media, Internet, and Communications Conference in New York. Roberts explained that this particular bundle comes “at a vastly reduced price to anything in the market today.” Roberts assured attendees that this is “everyday pricing,” and the idea was to “add value to consumers.”
This news comes two weeks after IndieWire reported in early May that Disney+ and Warner Bros. Discovery announced a three-way bundle comprising Max, Disney+, and Hulu. The bundle will be available starting this summer.
Disney and Hulu are currently bundled for users at $9.99 per month for an ad-supported plan and $19.99 per month without ads. Max costs $9.99 with ads, $99.99 for an annual plan, and $15.99 per month for an ad-free option.
