Philo expands core subscription with HBO Max and Discovery Plus — but your bill is going up

The Philo app shown on a phone in front of a TV.

Philo is already one of the best streaming services on the market, but now it's taking things up a notch. Starting today, September 30, Philo is including the ad-supported tiers of HBO Max and Discovery Plus in its core streaming package. That means a massive library of hit movies and shows is now part of your Philo subscription, albeit for a new, higher price. Given how much you're getting, though, it's the rare streaming price hike that feels like a steal. You can now check out the latest seasons of must-watch shows like "The White Lotus" and "The Last of Us" for just $5 more a month — that's half of what you'd pay for an HBO Max subscription on its own.

If you're a current subscriber, you get access to both services immediately for one month at your existing price point of $28/month. After that, your monthly bill will go up by $5, bringing the new total to $33/month. The HBO Max and Discovery Plus catalog of hit movies and shows joins the more than 70 TV channels and 110 free channels already offered through Philo.
