How many devices can you have Disney Plus on?
You can download the streaming service's app on as many devices as you like. But! A single membership will only allow you to stream from four devices simultaneously.
As our Disney Plus price comparison guide shows, that's pretty brilliant considering the modest monthly fee ($7.99, or £7.99 in the UK, $11.99 in Canada, €8.99 in eurozone and $11.99 in Australia). It's more than Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Hulu or HBO Max allow, but less expensive than all but Hulu. Additionally, the monthly fee could potentially be split into four parts…
You can also download content on up to 10 mobile devices and view it offline, so you can further leverage the value of the platform. As long as each device has enough storage space, there's a chance that large households could have 10 members watching Disney Plus movies or shows offline, previously downloaded over a Wi-Fi connection.
