Your streaming budget could get a lot more wallet-friendly with this offer. Warner Bros. Discovery and Disney launched their new combined streaming service bundle on Thursday, which packages Disney Plus, Hulu and Max together for US customers. According to a press release, eligible new or existing subscribers can choose to sign up for an ad-free or ad-supported plan through any of the three platforms. The companies first announced the bundle in May and shared that it would be available this summer.
The ad-based bundle costs $17 per month, while the ad-free version is $30 a month, and each subscription grants access to content from brands such as HBO, ABC, Hulu, FX, Marvel, Disney, Warner Bros., Pixar and Fox. B/R Sports, the live sports streaming tier which is part of Max's platform, is also currently included at no extra charge. However, ESPN Plus, which is in the Disney Trio bundle, is not included.
Whether you have standalone subscriptions for each of these services, or one of the four Disney bundles, this new offering can save you money each month. Max increased the prices of its ad-free plans in June, which bumped them up to $17 and $21 per month. Here's a look at the current price structures for Hulu, Disney Plus and Max, as well as all the bundles available.

| Hulu | $8 | $18 |
| Max | $10 | $17, $21 |
| Disney bundle | $10, $15 | $20, $25 |

Though all three services are now available through a single subscription, there is not a singular login to access the trio of services together. However, MyDisney enables users to sign in to Disney Plus and Hulu with a unified login if your streaming accounts share the same email address.
This is one of several streaming bundles to launch recently, with Comcast's StreamSaver rolling out in May. That package is open to Xfinity customers only and combines Peacock, Netflix and Apple TV Plus for a monthly rate of $15. Verizon also offers a Netflix-Max streaming bundle for some of its wireless customers.
