Disney Plus costs $7 per month, or $70 for the year.

Opening Disney Plus, you'll see a particular show highlighted at the top, with tabs of different brands, plus rows of recommendations and categories.
Netflix has a very similar homepage, highlighting a Netflix original at the top with other categories as you scroll lower.
One minor difference in user experience is that Disney Plus doesn't automatically start playing a title if you stay on it for more than a few seconds, something Netflix does.
In Disney Plus, the controls lets viewers skip foreword or backwards by 10 seconds, pause, adjust volume, and make the video fullscreen.
Netflix gives more options. In addition to the buttons that Disney Plus has, Netflix lets you jump to the next episode, or read information about any episode.
Disney Plus will drop new episodes of original shows, like "The Mandalorian," on a traditional weekly schedule.
Netflix usually releases new original shows in batches, dropping a full season at a time.
