Every U.S. Netflix plan just got more expensive

Binging season four of Selling Sunset just got a little costlier .
Beginning Friday, Netflix is raising prices across all U.S. subscription plans, bringing the cost of the standard plan up to $15.49 per month from $14, and the cost of the 4K plan to $19.99 per month from $18, The Verge reports. Pricing on the basic plan will jump from $9 to $9.99 per month, as well.
The increase will hit new subscribers immediately; changes to existing subscribers' payment plans will be rolled out gradually, "with Netflix promising to email members 30 days before the price hike goes into effect," the Verge notes.
