How Much Is Netflix Per Month In South Africa.
The cost of Netflix in South Africa Basic costs R99, and lets you watch on your phone, tablet or browser/smart TV – but also on only one device at a time. You won’t be able to view in HD or Ultra HD on either of these packages. The Standard package, at R159 per month, gives you two streams.
This means one person can watch on your account on one device – say, a smartphone – while you watch on your smart TV at the same time. And you can both watch in HD.
The Premium package costs R199, and allows for HD and Ultra HD viewing, and offers four simultaneous streams – so four different people can use Netflix on your account on four different devices at the same time.
If you’re only going to be watching on your phone or tablet, and you don’t have a family who will want access to your Netflix deets, then you can get away with signing up to the Mobile or Basic packages and only spend R49 or R99 per month. But if you’re looking at watching on a smart TV or a bigger screen, and want your kids to get in on the Netflix action, too, then it’s worth looking at one of the pricier packages.
