Disney+ is officially more powerful than Netflix!

After its official launch in 2019 and gradual arrival in different parts of the world, Disney+ has taken everything in its path. It must be said that the house with big ears has developed an offensive strategy targeting all its categories of subscribers: children, adults (with Star), fans of Marvel, Star Wars, documentaries (with Nat Geo)…

According to the latest data that has been published variety, that strategy is finally paying off, as Disney+ recently overtook Netflix in terms of subscriptions: 221.1 million worldwide, compared to the latter’s 220.7 million. Snub for the first SVOD platform, whose figures have continued to decline in recent months.

But, two things must be qualified: The Disney+ figures also include Hotstar, Hulu and ESPN+ offerings, which are available additionally, but only in certain countries. Thus, if a person subscribes to these three offers, it also counts as three. Netflix differentiates between the number of subscriptions and the number of subscribers.

At the same time, while D+ claims more subscriptions, its price remains lower than Netflix – although it will go up next December. Therefore, a platform with large views will generate less than its competitor in terms of revenue, but still give itself a few months to be fully profitable.
