Netflix Packages in Kenya – Pricing and Plans in 2026

Netflix is one of the most popular online streaming services in Kenya, offering a wide selection of movies, TV shows, documentaries, anime and Netflix Original productions. Subscribers can access thousands of titles on smartphones, tablets, computers and compatible Smart TVs, with monthly subscription prices starting at KSh 200.

Netflix offers four subscription plans in Kenya: Mobile, Basic, Standard and Premium. Each plan provides access to Netflix’s content library, but differs in streaming quality, supported devices and the number of screens that can stream simultaneously.

The streaming service competes with other entertainment platforms available in Kenya, including DStv Stream and GOtv Stream.

Unlike its previous promotional offerings, Netflix no longer provides a free mobile subscription in Kenya. You need a paid membership to access its streaming library.

The Mobile plan, starting at KSh 200 per month, is the cheapest option for subscribers who primarily watch content on their phones or tablets.

Netflix comes with parental control settings that allow parents to create Kids profiles, restrict age-rated content and block specific titles.

Additionally, its playback settings allow users to manage video quality and data consumption, which is useful when streaming over limited internet connections.

Netflix Packages in Kenya and Prices (2026)

Netflix currently advertises four subscription packages in Kenya. Below is a comparison of their monthly prices, video quality and simultaneous streaming limits.

Netflix Package	Monthly Price	Video Quality	Simultaneous Screens
Mobile	KSh 200	SD (480p)	1
Basic	KSh 300	HD (720p)	1
Standard	KSh 700	Full HD (1080p)	2
Premium	KSh 1,100	Ultra HD (4K) + HDR	4

The Mobile plan is suitable for individual smartphone users, while Basic is a better option if you want to watch on a TV or computer. Standard offers a balance between picture quality and simultaneous streaming, whereas Premium is ideal for households with compatible 4K TVs and multiple viewers.

Here is a closer look at the features and benefits of each Netflix subscription plan in Kenya.

1. Netflix Mobile Plan

The Netflix Mobile package is the cheapest subscription option in Kenya, costing KSh 200 per month. It is designed for people who prefer watching movies and TV shows on their smartphones or tablets.

The Mobile plan includes the following features:

• Monthly subscription of KSh 200.
• Streaming on one smartphone or tablet at a time.
• Standard Definition (SD) video quality of up to 480p.
• Access to Netflix movies, TV shows, documentaries and original productions.
• Offline downloads on a supported mobile device.

Although it is the most affordable option, the Mobile plan has limitations. You cannot use it to stream directly on a Smart TV or computer. Its 480p resolution is also lower than the quality available on the other subscription plans.

Choose this package if you mainly watch Netflix on your phone or tablet and want to keep your monthly entertainment expenses low.

2. Netflix Basic Plan

The Netflix Basic package costs KSh 300 per month and provides more device flexibility than the Mobile plan.

Unlike the Mobile subscription, Basic supports smartphones, tablets, computers and compatible Smart TVs. This makes it a suitable option for people who want to watch Netflix on a larger screen without paying for a more expensive subscription.

Its main features include:

• Monthly subscription of KSh 300.
• Streaming on one supported device at a time.
• HD video quality of up to 720p.
• Access to Netflix’s available movies, TV shows and documentaries.
• Offline downloads on supported devices.

The main limitation is that only one supported device can stream at a time. Therefore, it may not be suitable for households where several people want to watch different programmes simultaneously.

3. Netflix Standard Plan

The Netflix Standard package costs KSh 700 per month and is a good middle-ground option for subscribers who want better picture quality and the ability to stream on multiple devices.

This plan supports smartphones, tablets, computers and compatible Smart TVs. It also increases the streaming resolution to Full HD (1080p), providing sharper pictures on larger screens.

Netflix Standard includes:

• Monthly subscription of KSh 700.
• Full HD streaming at up to 1080p.
• Simultaneous streaming on two supported devices.
• Access to Netflix’s available movies, series and documentaries.
• Offline downloads on up to two supported devices.
• Eligibility to add one extra member outside your household, subject to availability and an additional fee.

The Standard plan is suitable for couples, small households or individuals who want to watch Netflix on different devices without interrupting each other’s viewing.

4. Netflix Premium Plan

The Netflix Premium package is the most expensive subscription option in Kenya, costing KSh 1,100 per month.

It offers the highest streaming quality among the four plans, supporting Ultra HD (4K) and HDR on compatible devices. It is particularly suitable for households with large 4K televisions and several people streaming at the same time.

Netflix Premium offers the following features:

• Monthly subscription of KSh 1,100.
• Ultra HD (4K) and HDR video quality on compatible devices.
• Simultaneous streaming on up to four supported devices.
• Offline downloads on up to six supported devices.
• Access to Netflix’s available movies, TV shows and documentaries.
• Spatial audio on supported titles and devices.
• Eligibility to add up to two extra members outside your household, subject to availability and additional fees.

Premium is the best option if you want the highest available picture quality and need multiple people to stream Netflix independently. However, you will need a compatible 4K device and a sufficiently fast internet connection to enjoy its full benefits.
