What is an extra member on Netflix?

An "Extra Member" is Netflix's name for someone who doesn't live in your household but whose Netflix account you agree to pay for. They have their own profile, account, and password, but they don't foot the bill. This is Netflix's solution for the fact that people like to share their Netflix accounts with children, dating partners, and friends.

Should you be an extra member?

Being an Extra Member comes with limitations, such as streaming and downloading to only one device at a time and having access to only one profile. Becoming an Extra Member is cost-effective for individuals but not ideal for households with multiple people who want to stream simultaneously.

How much does an extra member cost?

Extra Members can only be added to the "Standard" and "Premium" plans, which, after price increases in 2023, cost $15.49 and $22.99 respectively. Standard plans only allow for a single Extra Member, whereas Premium plans support up to two.
