The average U.S. streaming household now holds 5.8 subscriptions, up from 5.5 in 2021, while spending per service is declining a sign that households are trimming what they keep rather than adding freely, Parks Associates found via PR Newswire in February 2026. In that environment, a perk only saves money if both services are genuinely used.
Price is now the leading reason subscribers cancel. Cost concerns drove 30% of all streaming cancellations in 2025, up from 26% in 2020, Parks Associates reported via The Streamable in February 2026.
Streaming hit an annualized inflation rate of 20% in December 2025, The Streamable reported in February 2026 using Parks Associates data. Fixed-price bundles look increasingly attractive as that figure climbs. The Verizon Netflix and Max perk, though, is not contractually fixed from Netflix's side of the arrangement.
