Steps to subscribe to Netflix

If you want to enjoy all the content Netflix offers, this tutorial will guide you through each step of the subscription process. Follow these detailed instructions and in a few minutes, you'll be enjoying your favourite series and films.

Step 1: Analyse and choose your subscription plan

Before starting, it's important to identify which plan best suits your needs. Netflix offers different options:

Standard Plan with ads:

• More economical price
• Includes advertisements
• HD quality
• Two simultaneous screens

Standard Plan without ads:

• No advertising interruptions
• HD quality
• Two simultaneous screens
• Downloads on two devices

Premium Plan:

• Maximum quality: Ultra HD (4K)
• Four simultaneous screens
• Downloads on four devices
• Ideal for families

How to choose? If you live alone and your budget is limited, the plan with ads may be sufficient. If you share the account with your partner or family, the standard or premium plans will be better options. Note that from September 2025, the basic plan without ads will no longer be available.
