If you need to manage your Hulu payment—whether you need to update a card, fix a missed payment, or switch to PayPal—the steps depend on whether you pay Hulu directly or through a third party (like Apple or Roku).
1. If You Pay Hulu Directly
Most users can update their payment method immediately through the account page.
Go to hulu.com/account and log in.
Look for the Payment Information section.
Click Update Payment next to your current method.
Enter your new credit/debit card details or select PayPal.
Click Save Changes.
Note: If your account is currently “On Hold” due to a missed payment, updating your card here will automatically trigger a retry of the payment to reactivate your service.
2. If You Don’t See “Update Payment”
If you do not see the option to edit your payment info, you are likely billed through a third party. Look at the “Payment Information” section on your account page; it will tell you who bills you (e.g., Roku, Apple, Amazon, Disney+, Verizon).
You must update your payment method on their site:
Apple/iTunes: Go to your iPhone Settings > Apple ID > Payment & Shipping.
Roku: Go to
my.roku.com> Update payment method.Amazon: Go to Amazon Pay settings.
Disney+ Bundle: If you bought the bundle through Disney, update your payment on
disneyplus.com/account.Verizon/T-Mobile: Manage add-ons through your carrier’s app or website.

3. Fixing “Subscription on Hold” or Failed Payments
If your service has stopped because a payment failed:
For Direct Billing: Simply following the “Update Payment” steps above effectively acts as a “Pay Now” button. Hulu will attempt to charge the new card immediately.
For Third-Party Billing: You must update the card on the partner site (e.g., Apple). It may take up to 24 hours for the partner to notify Hulu that the payment was successful.
4. Accepted Payment Methods
Credit/Debit Cards: Visa, Mastercard, Discover, American Express (U.S. cards only).
Digital: PayPal and Venmo (mobile only).
Gift Cards: You can redeem Hulu gift cards at hulu.com/gift. This adds credit to your account, which will be used before your card is charged.
How Much is Hulu with Ads
As of December 2025, the price for the Hulu (With Ads) plan is $11.99 per month.
If you are looking to save money, there are a few other payment options and bundles available:
1. Standard Plans (Standalone)
Monthly: $11.99/month
Annual: $119.99/year
Savings: This works out to roughly $10/month, saving you about $24 over the course of a year compared to paying monthly.
2. Best Value Bundles
If you also use Disney+, it is almost always better to bundle because the price difference is very small (often just $1 more than Hulu alone).
Disney Bundle Duo Basic: $12.99/month
Includes Hulu (With Ads) and Disney+ (With Ads).
Disney Bundle Trio Basic: $19.99/month
Includes Hulu, Disney+, and ESPN+ (all with ads).
3. Student Discount (Best Deal)
If you are currently enrolled in a Title IV accredited US college or university, you can get the student rate.
Price: $1.99/month
Note: This is for the ad-supported plan only and requires verification through SheerID.
Important Note on Recent Price Changes
You may still see mentions of a $9.99 price online. That was the old price; a price hike took effect in October 2025, raising the standard ad-supported plan to the current $11.99 rate.
Recommendation:
If you are not a student, the Disney Bundle Duo ($12.99) is statistically the best value, as you get two major services for only $1.00 more than the cost of Hulu alone.
