Which subscription you need mainly depends on your use and whether you only need the account for yourself or want to watch the latest films and series with several people. Below we will discuss the Netflix subscriptions with you.

Netflix Basic

The cheapest subscription is called Basic and as the name suggests, you only get the basic functions of Netflix. You can watch all films and series, but in SD quality. In other words: streaming is in 720p resolution and that does not last.

The low resolution is still okay on smaller devices (such as your smartphone), but on televisions you will see that the image is not sharp. Also important to know: with Netflix Basic you can only watch on one device at a time.

  • Costs: 8.99 euros per month
  • Image quality: maximum HD (720p)
  • Look up one device
  • Works up your phone, tablet, computer and television

Netflix Standard

The middle subscription is Netflix Standard. You then watch in full HD quality (1080p), which looks nice and sharp on almost all screens. However, on 4k TVs it can be even sharper – more about that later. With Standard you can also watch on two devices at the same time; useful if you want to share your account with a family member or partner.

  • Costs: 13.99 euros per month
  • Image quality: maximum full HD (1080p)
  • Look up two devices at the same time
  • Works up your phone, tablet, computer and television
