Netflix hikes again: what do US plans cost now?

netflix.com6duckduckgo.com4jina.ai2cnbc.com1+1 more
▸ The task, exactly as the producer wrote it

Netflix announced another round of price increases in September 2026, and subscribers are posting angry screenshots of the new rates. I need the current US receipt. Using only public pages (no login), find: (1) the current monthly price of each US Netflix plan — the ad-supported plan, Standard, and Premium; (2) whether the public pages also state an 'extra member' add-on price or an annual option, and what it is; (3) the date the new prices took or take effect, if stated anywhere public. Report exact dollar amounts and the page URL for each fact.

Current US Netflix rates (fetched 2026-09-16) from Netflix's official "Plans and Pricing" page, help.netflix.com/en/node/24926: Standard with ads = $8.99/month, Standard = $19.99/month, Premium = $26.99/month. The same page states the extra-member add-on: $7.99/month with ads or $9.99/month without ads (Standard may add 1, Premium up to 2); it lists only monthly pricing, so there is no annual option — customers are "charged monthly on the date you signed up." Note the premise is off: the latest US increase took effect for new members on March 26, 2026 (per CNBC and USA Today dated 2026-03-26, e.g. cnbc.com/2026/03/26/netflix-raises-prices…), and Netflix's page itself states no effective date; the September 2026 hikes in the news are non-US (UK from Sept 3, Ireland Sept 10, Malaysia, Nordics), not a US increase.

In the agent's words: “Netflix homepage and /signup/ pages are JavaScript-only and returned no pricing text” · “help.netflix.com pages were repeatedly pruned/unreadable in-browser, so the pricing page had to be read via the r.jina.ai text proxy” · “No public US source states a September 2026 US increase; the latest verifiable US effective date is March 26, 2026”

Peacock's fall price hike: what am I paying now?

peacocktv.com9duckduckgo.com1
▸ The task, exactly as the producer wrote it

Peacock raised prices again in August 2026, right before football season, and many people are deciding whether to keep it. Using only public pages (no login), find two things: (1) the exact current US monthly and annual prices of Peacock Premium (with ads) and Peacock Premium Plus (no ads); (2) the exact online steps a subscriber takes to cancel, and whether Peacock's public help pages say anything about refunds or prorating after cancellation. Report dollar amounts, the click path, and the URL for each fact.

Current US prices (before tax), per Peacock's official Help Center article "How much does a Peacock subscription cost?" (peacocktv.com/help/article/how-much-does-…): Peacock Premium (with ads) = $12.99/month or $129.99/year; Peacock Premium Plus (no ads) = $19.99/month or $199.99/year (+tax; note ads still appear in live sports/channels and some sponsored content). The cheaper Select tier is $8.99/month or $89.99/year. Cancellation (per peacocktv.com/help/article/cancellation): log in to your account → select "Cancel All Subscriptions" (this cancels your base plan and all add-ons) → follow the prompts; once confirmed you'll see an on-screen confirmation and get a confirmation email (may take a few hours), and the plan won't renew at the end of the current term. If there's no "Cancel All Subscriptions" option, the subscription is billed through a third party (Apple, Google, Roku, Amazon, Xfinity, etc.) and must be cancelled with that provider; if you can't log in, Peacock offers cancel-via-chat. Refunds: Peacock states plainly that "No refunds or credits will be issued, unless required by law for any prior payments made when you canc

Crunchyroll's 2026 price: what does anime cost now?

crunchyroll.com9zendesk.com1duckduckgo.com1wikipedia.org1+2 more
▸ The task, exactly as the producer wrote it

Crunchyroll raised its subscription prices in 2026 and anime fans are complaining. Using only public pages (no login), find the current US monthly price of each Crunchyroll subscription tier (Fan, Mega Fan, and any higher tier that exists now), and note what each tier includes that is different from the one below it (for example offline viewing or number of simultaneous streams). Report exact prices and the page URL for each.

As of the 2026 increase, Crunchyroll's US monthly prices (all "+ applicable taxes") are: Fan $9.99/mo, Mega Fan $13.99/mo, and Ultimate Fan $17.99/mo (the top tier). Source page for all three: crunchyroll.com/premium. Tier differences: Fan adds ad-free full library, new episodes shortly after Japan, 1 simultaneous stream, and offline viewing/downloads. Mega Fan adds 4 simultaneous streams, Game Vault, Crunchyroll Store access, and free shipping on orders $50+. Ultimate Fan adds 6 simultaneous streams, Crunchyroll Manga access, free shipping on ALL orders, early access to drops, and an exclusive swag bag after 12 consecutive months. Annual plans are also offered (save ~16%); news coverage (Anime News Network, Feb 2, 2026) reports annual list prices of $99.99 / $139.99 / $179.99, with existing-monthly customers seeing the new rates from March 4, 2026.

In the agent's words: “crunchyroll.com homepage and help.crunchyroll.com return Cloudflare 'Just a moment...' bot walls (HTTP 403) or JS-only Salesforce Communities content with no readable text” · “help center Zendesk JSON endpoints returned 404” · “had to render the official /premium page through a text reader proxy (r.jina.ai) to read exact prices”

Claude Pro: the price and the cancel path

claude.com8duckduckgo.com4jina.ai3anthropic.com1+2 more
▸ The task, exactly as the producer wrote it

A friend pays for Claude, the AI assistant from Anthropic, and wants a plain-English summary of what it costs and how to leave. Using only public pages (no login), find: (1) the current US monthly and annual price of Claude Pro, and whether Anthropic now also sells a higher-priced 'Max' plan, with its price; (2) the exact steps to cancel a Claude subscription, and whether anything is kept until the end of the billing period. Report exact dollar amounts, the click path, and the page URL for each fact.

Claude Pro (US, web): $20/month billed monthly, or $17/month with the annual discount ($200 billed up front) — confirmed on Anthropic's official pricing page (claude.com/pricing, where anthropic.com/pricing redirects). Anthropic also now sells a higher-priced Max tier: the official page lists it as "From $100 per month," letting you "choose 5x or 20x more usage than Pro," and its comparison table has "Max 5x" and "Max 20x" columns; the two tiers are $100/month (Max 5x) and $200/month (Max 20x).

Cancel: Anthropic's help article "Cancel your Pro or Max subscription" (support.claude.com/en/articles/8325617-ca…) states: "You may cancel your Pro or Max plan subscription at any time by following the cancellation instructions for the platform you signed up on. Your cancellation will take effect at the end of your current billing period and you can continue using your paid plan until then." So yes — access is kept until the billing period ends; canceling just stops renewal. The click path (web/desktop, Pro and Max use the same path): sign in to the paid account → click your initials/name in the lower-left corner → Settings → Billing → click Cancel a

In the agent's words: “Claude Help Center pages are dominated by a huge navigation menu, so the article body wouldn't render and per-tier Max prices aren't printed (page only says 'from $100').” · “The pricing page re-fetches (same canonical URL) returned no content, and I couldn't log in to see the in-account Billing screen, so the cancellation click path relies partly on an independent guide c” · “Some help-center search pages are JavaScript-only and returned nothing useful.”

c.ai+ for my kid: cost and the cancel path

archive.org16character.ai8bing.com3duckduckgo.com3
▸ The task, exactly as the producer wrote it

A parent is paying for Character.AI's subscription (c.ai+) for their teenager and wants to know exactly what it costs and how to stop it. Using only public pages (no login), find: (1) the current US monthly and annual price of c.ai+; (2) what c.ai+ actually includes; (3) the exact steps to cancel c.ai+, and whether Character.AI's public pages say the subscription ends immediately or continues to the end of the billing period. Report exact prices, the click path, and the URL for each fact.

Character.AI's own site (character.ai/) and its help center (support.character.ai) are both behind Cloudflare bot walls and unfetchable without a browser, so I used the public subscribe page and Internet‑Archive snapshots of the help center. (1) c.ai+ pricing on character.ai/subscribe (character.ai/plus redirects here): US$9.99 per month, or US$94.99 per year (shown as reduced from $119.88/year, ~20% off); the page states the plan "auto renews yearly until canceled." (2) The same page's Free-vs-Plus comparison lists c.ai+ as: ad-free chats, access to the newest/best models and Plus-only chat styles, improved memory (more Pins, detailed memory and advanced Lorebook), no slow mode, unlimited voice calls, more muted words, extra go-ons/swipes, chat customization, bonus Charms, and early access to new features. (3) Cancellation path, from the official article "How do I manage or cancel my c.ai+ subscription?" (updated Oct 29, 2025, support.character.ai/hc/en-us/articles/17…): for website subscribers go to Settings > Account > Manage > enter the email on the Character.AI account > open the emailed "Log in to your Customer Portal" link > cancel/manage there; if

In the agent's words: “character.ai and support.character.ai both return HTTP 403 Cloudflare 'Just a moment...' bot walls, blocking live reading” · “Bing/Google results were low quality; had to rely on DuckDuckGo and the Wayback Machine” · “The Wayback snapshot of the Terms of Service truncated before the subscription/payment section, so I couldn't confirm billing-period wording” · “Several fetched page bodies were pruned from my transcript, so I'm flagging that the pricing/feature list comes from the archived character.ai/subscribe snapshot rather than a freshly re-read live pag”

Why: character.ai is unreadable without a browser on our index.

Notion Plus: what it costs, what's free

notion.com12duckduckgo.com2bing.com1notion.so0
▸ The task, exactly as the producer wrote it

A student is deciding whether to pay for Notion. Using only public pages (no login), find: (1) the current US price of the Notion Plus plan (monthly and annual, per user); (2) what the free plan includes and what Plus adds; (3) whether Notion still offers a free plan for students or any education discount, if stated. Report exact prices and the page URL for each fact.

Notion Plus (US, per user): $10/member/month billed yearly, and $12/member/month billed monthly — the yearly rate ($10) is shown directly on notion.com/pricing ("Save up to 20% with yearly"), while the $12 monthly rate (the toggle needs JavaScript) is confirmed by third-party trackers. Free plan (notion.com/pricing) includes: a trial of Notion AI, basic forms, basic sites, Notion Calendar, and databases (subtasks/dependencies/custom properties); Plus adds, on top of Free: trial of Notion AI, custom forms, custom sites, unlimited charts, unlimited collaborative blocks, unlimited file uploads, and basic (Slack/Google Drive) connections. Notion does still offer free education plans (notion.com/help/notion-for-education): a free one-member workspace for individual students/teachers with a school email (verified once a year) and a free unlimited-member plan for verified student organizations — the doc doesn't state a percentage discount on paid plans, but it links a student-discount terms page for the Notion AI add-on.

In the agent's words: “Notion's pricing page won't render the monthly-billed figure without JavaScript (the Pay monthly/yearly toggle can't be clicked via plain GET), so the $12 monthly price comes from third-party price tr” · “Several Notion pages initially returned empty/cached (pruned) content and had to be re-fetched with URL variants to read.” · “I used slightly over my visit budget (the education page required extra attempts) to avoid guessing.”

Cut the cord for football: pick one service

▸ The task, exactly as the producer wrote it

A cord-cutter wants a single streaming subscription for the 2026 football season (NFL and college) and is deciding among four services: Peacock, Sling TV, YouTube TV, and Paramount+. Using only public pages (no login), compare what each currently costs per month for the cheapest plan that carries live football (note which leagues/games each includes, such as Sunday Night Football, NFL on CBS, or college games), and recommend which one gives the most live football for the money.

Product photos with AI: which generator wins?

midjourney.com12archive.org12openai.com10ideogram.ai6+2 more
▸ The task, exactly as the producer wrote it

A small online-shop owner wants to create clean, realistic product photos with AI text-to-image and is choosing among four tools: Midjourney, Ideogram, Leonardo AI, and OpenAI's image generator (DALL·E / ChatGPT image features). Using only public pages (no login), compare: (1) current entry-level paid price for each; (2) whether generated images can be used commercially; (3) which is best for text-accurate product shots. Recommend one for a beginner who values accurate text on labels and commercial use. State each price and the URL where you found it.

I could not complete the four-way price comparison: three of the four vendors block automated access. Midjourney (midjourney.com and docs.midjourney.com), Ideogram (ideogram.ai/pricing), Leonardo (leonardo.ai/pricing and app.leonardo.ai/pricing) and OpenAI (openai.com, help.openai.com, openai.com/chatgpt/pricing) all returned Cloudflare "Just a moment..." bot walls (HTTP 403/429), so I have no verified live prices for Midjourney, Ideogram or Leonardo — I won't guess them. The only price I actually read is OpenAI's: ChatGPT Plus is $20/month and includes DALL·E image generation (Free $0; Team $25/user/mo billed annually or $30 monthly), from openai.com/chatgpt/pricing (read via the Wayback snapshot web.archive.org/web/20240601130836/https:…). On commercial use, OpenAI's Terms of Use (applies to ChatGPT and DALL·E) let you own/use your Output, including commercially (openai.com/policies/terms-of-use). For the text-accuracy question I could not retrieve on-page evidence either; based on general public reputation (not verified here) Ideogram is the tool most associated with accurate in-image text and allows commercial use on paid plans, so it

In the agent's words: “Cloudflare bot challenge (HTTP 403) on midjourney.com, docs.midjourney.com, ideogram.ai/pricing, leonardo.ai/pricing and openai.com” · “Vercel security checkpoint (HTTP 429) on app.leonardo.ai/pricing” · “OpenAI help center blocked (403); ChatGPT pricing page renders prices client-side so archived copies show plan names but no dollar amounts” · “Pages that did load (Ideogram pricing/features, Leonardo Intercom help, OpenAI API docs) had their content withheld from my transcript, so I could not extract verifiable figures” · “Visit limit reached before I could retry these pages”

Why: ideogram.ai is unreadable without a browser on our index; leonardo.ai is unreadable without a browser on our index; midjourney.com is unreadable without a browser on our index; openai.com is unreadable without a browser on our index.

Narrate my videos: which AI voice wins?

resemble.ai5murf.ai4elevenlabs.io2jina.ai2+1 more
▸ The task, exactly as the producer wrote it

A creator makes short explainer videos and wants a natural-sounding AI voiceover tool with commercial usage rights. They are choosing among ElevenLabs, Murf, and Resemble AI. Using only public pages (no login), compare: (1) the current entry-level paid price for each; (2) whether commercial use is allowed on that plan; (3) voice quality features such as cloning or multiple voices. Recommend one for a beginner on a budget. State each price and the URL where you found it.

Recommendation: ElevenLabs Starter at $6/month (elevenlabs.io/pricing) — it's the cheapest entry paid plan that explicitly bundles a Commercial License plus Instant Voice Cloning, ideal for a beginner on a budget. Murf's entry paid plan is Creator at $19/month billed annually (murf.ai/pricing), which grants commercial rights and 200+ voices but no voice cloning at that tier (the free plan has no commercial rights). Resemble AI no longer sells an entry-level TTS subscription: its TTS is now the free, MIT-licensed open-source Chatterbox model (with zero-shot cloning), and its paid tier "Chatterbox Pro" is enterprise-only ("Contact Us") — its public pricing page now covers deepfake-detection plans instead (resemble.ai/pricing; resemble.ai/products/text-to-speech). For a non-technical budget beginner wanting natural voices with commercial rights, ElevenLabs Starter wins on price ($6 vs $19) and includes cloning.

In the agent's words: “ElevenLabs' pricing page didn't return readable text via a plain fetch (content was pruned/JS), so I rendered it through the r.jina.ai reader.” · “Murf's pricing page is JavaScript-only and returned just "Murf" on direct GET; I had to render it via r.jina.ai to read plans.” · “Resemble AI has pivoted to deepfake detection — its public pricing page no longer lists a TTS subscription, and its TTS is now open-source (Chatterbox) with an enterprise-only paid tier, so there is n”

STUNT: pry Poe's price and cancel path

jina.ai12poe.com8archive.org3quora.com1+1 more
▸ The task, exactly as the producer wrote it

Poe (poe.com) sells AI chat subscriptions with 'points,' and a reader wants the plain truth before subscribing. Using only public pages (no login), find: (1) the exact current US monthly and annual price of Poe's paid subscription; (2) how many points each tier includes, if the public pages say; (3) the exact click-by-click steps to cancel so the reader is not rebilled. If pages refuse to load or are blocked, say exactly what you hit and what was visible.

Poe's public site is largely gated: poe.com redirects to /login, and its official help center (plus help.quora.com) is behind a Cloudflare "Just a moment…" 403 wall; I only read the help articles by routing them through the r.jina.ai text proxy. From poe.com/subscription_plans (yearly billing) I read: 10,000 points/day = $49.99/yr ($4.17/mo), 660,000 points/mo = $199.99/yr ($16.67/mo), 1.65M points/mo = $499.99/yr ($41.67/mo), 3.3M points/mo = $999.99/yr ($83.33/mo), and 8.25M points/mo = $2,499.99/yr ($208.33/mo); the page's monthly/annual switch is client-side JS, so the plain monthly prices (labeled "SAVE 17%") did not load and I could not confirm them. The official Purchases FAQ says points are granted daily and/or monthly and don't roll over, and that subscriptions are managed/cancelled under Poe 'Settings' (web billing via Stripe; iOS/Android via Apple/Google; to switch platforms you must first cancel where you bought it), but the dedicated step-by-step "How do I cancel" section was cut off by page-length truncation before I hit the visit limit — so I do NOT have the literal click-by-click cancellation steps.

In the agent's words: “poe.com homepage redirects to /login (no public pricing)” · “help.poe.com and help.quora.com blocked by Cloudflare 403 'Just a moment...' bot wall” · “Bing search returned 403 via proxy” · “Internet Archive returned 503/404” · “Poe pricing page's monthly/annual toggle is client-rendered JS, so only 'Billed yearly' prices appeared” · “Long help article truncated before the 'How do I cancel' section” · “Hit the 14-visit limit”

Why: poe.com is closed to AI crawlers by policy and unreadable without a browser on our index.
