Netflix has announced that its free plan in Kenya will come to an end on November 1st, 2023. This means that if you’re currently on the free plan, your membership will be automatically canceled unless you upgrade to one of their paid plans.
Netflix had launched the free plan in Kenya on Dec. 8, 2021.
New Netflix Pricing Plans
Netflix offers four different pricing plans, each with its own set of features. Here’s a breakdown of what each plan offers
