We read the Malaysian price pages that Netflix, Spotify and Apple publish themselves, as they stood in June 2022 (archived copies on the Wayback Machine) and as they stand today, 11 November 2026. We matched every monthly plan that appears under the same name on both dates (Apple TV+ counts as Apple TV, its name today). Of 12 plans, 11 now cost more. One got cheaper: Netflix Basic. For scale: Malaysia's overall consumer price index rose 8.0% from June 2022 to September 2026, the latest month published, and 10 of the 12 plans have risen by more than 8.0%. We left out plans whose number of accounts or services changed, such as Spotify Family, which now covers four accounts instead of six.
Every figure below is a monthly list price in ringgit, as printed by the service on its own Malaysian page. They are not promotional or trial prices. Every line compares June 2022 (copies of each page archived between 7 and 25 June 2022) with the live pages on 11 November 2026.

1. Apple One Individual: RM19.90 to RM34.90, up 75.4%
The biggest rise of the 12. In June 2022 Apple One Individual (Apple Music, Apple TV+, Apple Arcade and 50GB of iCloud+) cost RM19.90 a month on apple.com/my. The same four services in the same plan now cost RM34.90. Apple still prices the bundle below the four services bought separately, which its page now puts at RM81.60.
2. Apple TV: RM19.90 to RM29.90, up 50.3%
Apple's streaming service, called Apple TV+ in June 2022 and Apple TV today, cost RM19.90 a month then and costs RM29.90 now, on Apple's own Malaysian page. That is RM10 more a month for one service.
3. Apple One Family: RM33.90 to RM44.90, up 32.4%
The family version of the bundle (the same four services with 200GB of iCloud+, shared with up to five other people) rose RM11 a month.
4. Netflix Premium: RM55 to RM69.90, up 27.1%
Netflix's top plan cost RM55 a month on its Malaysian plans and pricing page in June 2022. It is RM69.90 today. The same page, archived on 22 April 2026, still showed RM62.90, so the most recent step came between 22 April and 11 November 2026 (our report on it). The plan has also gained features since 2022: the page now lists spatial audio and downloads on six devices, against four in 2022.
5. Netflix Standard: RM45 to RM55.90, up 24.2%
The two-screen plan rose RM10.90 a month. It still allows two screens at once; it now also offers a paid extra-member slot.
6. Apple Music: up 20.1% for Individual, 21.8% for Family, 6.7% for Student
Apple Music Individual went from RM14.90 to RM17.90, Family from RM22.90 to RM27.90 and Student from RM8.90 to RM9.50. The student plan is the only one of the 12 whose rise is smaller than 8.0%, the rise in overall consumer prices from June 2022 to September 2026.
7. Netflix Mobile: RM17 to RM19.90, up 17.1%
The phone-and-tablet-only plan, Netflix's cheapest in Malaysia, rose RM2.90 a month.
8. Spotify: up 10.1% for Individual and 14.0% for Duo
Spotify Premium Individual went from RM15.90 to RM17.50 and Duo from RM21.50 to RM24.50, on spotify.com/my-en/premium. Spotify's two matched plans rose 10.1% and 14.0%, less than any Netflix plan that rose and less than every Apple plan except Apple Music Student. That is partly timing: Spotify's archived page shows its previous increase, from RM14.90 for Individual, landed between January and March 2022, just before our June 2022 starting point. Spotify Family is not in our count because the plan itself shrank: it cost RM24.90 for "up to 6 accounts" in June 2022 and costs RM27.90 today for "up to 4 Premium accounts", with the option to pay for one or two more.
9. The one that fell: Netflix Basic, RM35 to RM33.90, down 3.1%
Netflix Basic is the only plan of the 12 that costs less today than in June 2022, by RM1.10 a month. It has not been a straight line: the same Netflix page showed Basic at RM28 in June 2023 and in May 2024, then RM29.90 in February 2025, and it is RM33.90 now. Measured from that RM28 low, Basic is up 21.1%.
How this compares with official inflation
Over June 2022 to September 2026, the latest month published, the Department of Statistics Malaysia's overall consumer price index rose 8.0% (127.4 to 137.6, 2010 = 100). Its index for "subscription to audio-visual content, streaming services and rentals of audio-visual content" rose 16.2% (123.8 to 143.8). That official index covers more than these three companies, including pay TV and rentals, and ends in September 2026, so it may not include Netflix's most recent increase, which came some time after April 2026. It is context for the scale of the rises, not a measure of the same basket. We looked at the longer history of that index, and at cinema ticket prices, in an earlier piece.

The dates. June 2022 prices come from Wayback Machine copies of each page: Netflix, 12 June, Apple Music, 7 June, Apple TV+, 7 June, Apple One, 18 June and Spotify, 25 June 2022. Today's prices were read from the live pages on 11 November 2026. Anyone can open the same archived copies.
Why June 2022. It is the earliest copy of Netflix's Malaysian pricing page that the Wayback Machine holds (12 June 2022), so it is the earliest start point we could use for all three companies. The start point matters: Spotify's archived page shows RM14.90 for Individual in November 2021 and January 2022 and RM15.90 from March 2022, so its rises would look larger from an earlier start. One Spotify copy from 9 May 2022 shows RM14.90 for Individual again, between copies from April and June showing RM15.90; we use the 25 June copy, which matches the copies either side of it from March 2022 to December 2023.
Left out, and why. We left out any plan whose number of accounts or services changed. Apple One Premier went from RM69.90 to RM84.90, but it now also includes Apple Fitness+. Spotify Family went from RM24.90 for up to six accounts to RM27.90 for up to four. Spotify's student plan is left out because the June 2022 page showed only a two-month offer, not the monthly price. YouTube Premium, Disney+ Hotstar and Prime Video are left out because we could not find an archived Malaysian price page for them from June 2022: their pages show prices according to where the visitor is.
Same name, not always the same features. These are name-matched plans, not identical products. Within the 12, some features have changed over four years: Netflix Premium now lists spatial audio and downloads on six devices rather than four, and Netflix now sells extra-member slots on Standard and Premium for RM14.90 a month. We have not tried to price those changes.
Tax. The Royal Malaysian Customs Department raised the service tax rate, including on digital services from overseas providers, from 6% to 8% from 1 March 2024. On a price that includes the tax, that alone would add about 1.9%. The pages do not all say whether their prices include it (Netflix's page says taxes may be charged in addition, in both 2022 and today), so we have not separated tax from the rest of each rise.
What this does not show. These are list prices. They do not show what any one person pays after bundles with a telco or broadband plan, annual billing, student verification or promotions. They also do not tell us why each company raised its prices; the companies' pages do not say.
