Top 10 Countries with Affordable Netflix Plans

Netflix costs differently in each country. The company might determine the prices by the per capita income of the citizens. They might also decide how much to charge based on how many titles they can make available to stream in a country. Evidently, the countries with the most affordable subscription plans have fewer Netflix TV shows and movies for the viewers to enjoy. 
Besides, the price structure is well framed according to how people like to watch Netflix in each country. For instance, the countries with a mobile-first userbase have cheaper mobile plans as well. It caters to people who want to share accounts to access affordable premium plans. So, let’s look at the countries for getting Netflix at an affordable price for each plan.

Netflix Subscription Cost for Every Country

Netflix is currently available in 246 countries if we include government-held territories. Only four countries, namely China, North Korea, Syria, and Crimea, currently do not allow Netflix to do business. Apart from them, here is the list of every other country and how much a Netflix subscription costs in these locations in alphabetical order.

How to Watch Netflix Affordably

Now that you know which country serves Netflix’s most affordable plans, here’s how it will benefit you. You can subscribe to Netflix from another country, and your billings will follow that plan afterward. So, if you are a frequent traveler, you are in luck. Next time you plan to visit a country with lower Netflix rates, cancel your plan well in advance and resubscribe once you are in the new region. All you have to make sure is you have continuous access to the payment method to pay for the account in the required currency.
Netflix does not encourage using a VPN. However, you can use it to change your geo-location for privacy purposes temporarily. If Netflix detects a VPN, it will only show you globally available content. In the worst case, if the team thinks it is identity fraud, your account will go on hold. A good VPN service can also bypass the data tracking crawlers and increase your security. Therefore, you can use it to subscribe to Netflix from another country. However, I recommend you read Netflix’s terms and conditions before making a final decision. 

Why Does Netflix Cost Differently in Each Country?

Netflix increases its rate once in a while, and the change isn’t global at once. Still, some countries have surprisingly low subscription rates, including India, where the streaming giant recently slashed the subscription prices by up to 60 percent. These countries might have fewer titles for you to watch or a minimal user base. That makes sense because lower rates will lure people into subscribing to the service, and the company can profit from more subscribers. It is impossible to know how Netflix chooses the pricing for its plans in each country. However, you can check the price and benefits of each plan for your country by vising the Netflix help page. That’s how we accessed the price for each plan in every country in this article. I hope you found what you were looking for in this guide.
