Is Philo Worth It? Here’s What You Should Know About Pricing, Streaming Packages & Channels  

All products and services featured are independently chosen by editors. However, Billboard may receive a commission on orders placed through its retail links, and the retailer may receive certain auditable data for accounting purposes.

Even with a price increase, Philo remains one of the most affordable ways to stream channels live and on-demand. On Wednesday (June 12), Philo raised its prices to $28/month for new and returning subscribers.

If you’re already subscribed to Philo, the $3 price hike doesn’t apply; current Philo subscribers can stay at the previous $25 monthly rate.
