Last verified 2026-09-05. 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). Re-verified 2026-09-02 against the live pricing page; published figures unchanged. 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.
