Mubi subscription runs $12.99 per month or $119.99 per year in the United States

Mubi is a streaming service that shows independent and international films. The monthly plan costs $12.99 and renews every 30 days. The annual plan costs $119.99 and renews once per year. Both plans give you the same access to the full catalog — the only difference is how often you pay and the total amount you spend.

If you pay monthly, you spend $155.88 per year. If you pay annually, you spend $119.99 per year, which saves you about $36 over 12 months. The annual plan works out to roughly $10 per month when divided across the year.

Mubi does not offer a free trial in most regions anymore, though some countries or promotional periods may vary. You can cancel your subscription at any time without penalty. Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing cycle — you keep access until that date, then your account closes.

How to start and manage your subscription

To start a Mubi subscription, go to mubi.com, create an account with your email address, and choose either the monthly or annual plan. You will need a valid payment method — Mubi accepts major credit cards, debit cards, and PayPal. After you enter your payment information and confirm, your subscription begins immediately and you can start watching.

To manage your subscription, log into your Mubi account and go to your account settings or billing section. From there you can view your next billing date, update your payment method, or cancel. If you cancel, Mubi will ask you why, but you do not have to answer — you can skip that step and proceed to cancellation.

If your payment fails, Mubi will typically try again a few days later. If it fails a second time, your account may be suspended until you update your payment information. You can still log in and fix this in your account settings without losing your subscription history or watchlist.

What you get for the subscription cost

Your Mubi subscription gives you access to a rotating catalog of films. Mubi adds new films regularly and removes others, so the selection changes throughout the month. At any given time, the catalog typically contains several hundred titles, though the exact number varies.

You can watch on multiple devices — phones, tablets, computers, and some smart TVs — though you can only stream on one device at a time. You can download films to watch offline on the Mubi app for iOS and Android. Your watchlist and viewing history sync across devices, so you can start watching on one device and continue on another.

Mubi does not include ads in either the monthly or annual plan. You also get access to Mubi's essays, interviews, and behind-the-scenes content about the films in the catalog, though these are text-based and not video content.

Price differences by country and currency

Mubi's subscription cost varies by country because it is charged in local currency and adjusted for regional markets. In the United Kingdom, for example, the monthly plan is £9.99 and the annual plan is £99.99. In Canada, monthly is CAD $12.99 and annual is CAD $129.99. In Australia, monthly is AUD $14.99 and annual is AUD $149.99.

If you travel or move to another country, your subscription price may change when you next renew. Mubi determines your location based on your payment method and billing address, so updating either one can affect your rate. If you are unsure what you will be charged, check your account settings before your next billing date.

Currency exchange rates and local pricing strategies mean the cost in your country may not match the U.S. price converted directly. Mubi sets prices independently in each region.

Payment methods and billing cycles

Mubi accepts Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover credit and debit cards. It also accepts PayPal. You enter your payment information during signup and Mubi stores it securely to charge you on your billing date each month or year.

Your billing date is the same day each month (or year) that you signed up. If you signed up on the 15th, you will be charged on the 15th of every month. If you signed up on the 31st and a month has only 30 days, Mubi charges you on the last day of that month instead.

Mubi sends a receipt to your email address after each charge. You can view past invoices and receipts in your account settings. If you dispute a charge or need a refund, contact Mubi support through the help section of the website.

Promotional offers and discounts

Mubi occasionally runs promotional offers, usually during major holidays or special events. These might include a discount on the first month or a reduced annual rate. Promotions are typically advertised on the Mubi homepage or through email if you are on their mailing list.

Student discounts are not currently offered by Mubi, though this may change. Some third-party services that bundle streaming subscriptions may include Mubi at a different rate, but these are separate from Mubi's direct pricing.

If you cancel your subscription and then resubscribe later, you may see a promotional offer when you log back in. Mubi sometimes offers returning subscribers a discount to come back.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I share my Mubi account with family members?

Mubi's terms of service state that each subscription is for personal use only. You can only stream on one device at a time, so multiple people cannot watch simultaneously. Sharing login credentials violates the terms and Mubi may suspend your account if detected.

What happens if I cancel mid-month?

You keep access to Mubi through the end of your current billing period. If you cancel on the 10th of the month and your billing date is the 25th, you can still watch until the 25th. After that date, your account closes and you lose access.

Does Mubi offer a student discount?

Mubi does not currently offer a dedicated student discount. The standard monthly and annual rates apply to all subscribers. Check the Mubi website periodically, as promotional offers change seasonally.

Can I change from monthly to annual or vice versa?

Yes. Log into your account settings and change your plan. If you switch from monthly to annual mid-cycle, Mubi will prorate the cost. If you switch from annual to monthly, the change takes effect at your next renewal date.

Is there a family plan or group subscription?

Mubi does not offer a family plan or group subscription option. Each person needs their own individual subscription at the standard rate.
