How to Cancel or Pause Hulu Subscription

Do I have to pay separately for Hulu and Disney Plus?

Yes, you can pay separately, but Disney offers bundles (often with ESPN+) that combine Disney+, Hulu, and sometimes HBO Max for a lower combined price, which is usually more cost-effective than two standalone subscriptions, though you'll use separate apps for Disney+ and Hulu (for now). Disney is phasing Hulu content into the Disney+ app by 2026, simplifying things, but for now, bundles are the way to get both at a discount.
