As of 2025, it is still possible to get Hulu as a standalone subscription without Disney+, but the two services are becoming increasingly integrated. Disney has announced that Hulu will be fully integrated into Disney+ with a combined app launching in 2026. Despite this integration, a separate Hulu subscription will continue to be available for purchase independently from Disney+. However, financially, the cost savings for having Hulu alone versus a bundle with Disney+ are minimal—often just about $1 less per month to have Hulu by itself. Given the close pricing and upcoming full integration, most new subscribers find it best value-wise to get the bundle rather than Hulu alone. To summarize:
- Hulu standalone subscriptions remain available for now.
- Hulu is being fully integrated into the Disney+ platform in 2026.
- The pricing difference between standalone Hulu and the Hulu + Disney+ bundle is minimal.
- After 2026, the Hulu app will phase out as a separate product in favor of the combined Disney+ app that includes Hulu content.
