Thinking of changing your monthly Netflix subscription? Here’s how to do it.
There are a couple of reasons why you might want to upgrade or downgrade your Netflix Plan. For one, if you own a family account but don’t actually share it with a house member, you may want to downgrade to a cheaper plan, especially since the streaming platform is cracking down on password sharing.

On the flip side, solo Netflix users may want to upgrade to the Premium plan if they plan on actually sharing an account with family members. The good thing about this plan is that the monthly fee can be divided into four members, so each user is actually paying less compared to the Basic and Standard plans.
But whatever your reason might be, we’ll give you a step-by-step guide on how you can easily upgrade or downgrade your Netflix plan.
