Last verified 2026-09-05. STALE marks a plan we have not re-checked at its source in over 30 days. Every plan above is marked — we flag rather than silently retain. https://www.hulu.com/ redirects to disneyplus.com (302); no standalone Hulu pricing page rendered. Primary source: https://www.tvguide.com/news/hulu-live-tv-review/ (last updated April 27, 2025). Corroborated by Digital Trends best-live-tv-streaming-services guide (last updated January 26, 2025). The page this record cites as its source (https://www.hulu.com/live-tv) is gone: on 2026-09-11 it answered 200 and redirected to https://www.disneyplus.com/, both from a residential connection and from a datacenter on another continent — so the page is gone rather than withheld from one asker. Nothing else in this record can stand in for it, so re-sourcing needs a live page read; the figure stands as last read. Cross-checked against digitaltrends.com.

Dead citation disclosed, price unchanged. https://www.hulu.com/live-tv was read twice on 2026-09-11: it answered 200 and redirected to https://www.disneyplus.com/ from a residential connection and answered 200 and redirected to https://www.disneyplus.com/ from a datacenter on another continent. One reading is not evidence — 27 pages this sweep called gone answered the second machine perfectly well — so only the ones both vantages agree on are written down. The record now says the link is a dead end. No figure changed: a price read on a day was read on that day, and the page going away later does not unread it.

This standing as a plaque
Hulu + Live TV currently holds a bronze deskmark here — Rank 5 of 6 · Live TV Streaming. Anyone may show it. There is nothing to apply for, nothing to pay, and displaying it changes no score: the standing comes from the published algorithm, which never reads commission data. We never ask anyone to show it, and its link carries rel="nofollow".
The image is drawn from our live data, so it follows the standing rather than freezing it: if Hulu + Live TV moves up or down a tier, the plaque on your own site says so at our next publish. Nothing is tracked beyond the ordinary web-server log that records any image request.
