Frndly TV, the budget-friendly live TV streaming service known for its family-oriented programming, has revealed an upcoming price adjustment for its monthly subscription plans. The company is raising prices by $1 to $2 per month across its three tiers, effective later in May 2025. While no specific date for the change has been confirmed, Frndly TV has begun notifying existing customers via email about the forthcoming hike. The service’s “About” page has already been updated to reflect the new pricing under the “How Much Does Frndly TV Cost?” section, signaling the transition is imminent.
The good news is you can hurry and lock in your current price with a annual subscription now.
Under the new pricing structure, the Basic plan will increase from $6.99 to $7.99 per month, the Classic plan will rise from $8.99 to $9.99 per month, and the Premium plan will jump from $9.99 to $11.99 per month. New customers, however, can still sign up for the Basic plan at the current $6.99 rate until the price change officially takes effect. Frndly TV, which offers over 40 channels including Hallmark Channel, A&E, and The Weather Channel, remains one of the most affordable streaming options in the market, even with the increase.
To soften the impact of the price hike, Frndly TV is promoting its annual subscription plans, which offer savings of over 15% compared to monthly billing. The annual Basic plan is priced at $83.88 per year (equivalent to $6.99 per month), the Classic plan at $95.88 per year (equivalent to $7.99 per month), and the Premium plan at $119.88 per year (equivalent to $9.99 per month). By opting for an annual plan, subscribers can lock in their subscription rate for a full year, shielding them from the upcoming price increase until their next renewal. Both monthly and annual plans begin billing after a free trial period and continue until canceled. Customers can easily switch or upgrade their plans at any time through their Account page on the Frndly TV website.
The price adjustment comes as streaming services across the industry face rising content and operational costs. Frndly TV’s modest increase keeps it competitive, especially for cord-cutters seeking affordable, family-friendly entertainment. The service’s focus on live and on-demand content, including popular channels like Lifetime and Great American Family, continues to attract viewers looking for an alternative to pricier platforms. While some subscribers may feel the pinch of the $1 to $2 increase, the option to switch to an annual plan offers a cost-effective way to maintain access to Frndly TV’s wholesome programming at a lower effective rate. As the price change approaches, customers are encouraged to review their subscription preferences to maximize savings.
