Netflix in Africa: How to Pay Less?
Netflix is very popular in Africa, but prices in euros are high for local purchasing power. Here are 5 tips to save money.
1. Netflix Turkey via RDS Hub
The most effective tip: buy a Netflix Turkey subscription via RDS Hub. Turkish prices are 60% cheaper than Europe. The Premium Turkey plan costs 6,000 FCFA/month vs 11,900 FCFA for the standard European plan.
2. Share a Family Plan
The Netflix Premium plan allows up to 4 simultaneous screens. Share with family or friends to split the cost by 4. With Netflix Turkey RDS Hub, that's 1,500 FCFA/person/month.
3. Choose the Right Plan
- Mobile: 1,500 FCFA/month (Turkey) - ideal if you watch on phone
- Basic: 2,500 FCFA/month - 1 screen, no 4K
- Standard: 4,000 FCFA/month - 2 screens, 1080p
- Premium: 6,000 FCFA/month - 4 screens, 4K UHD
4. Use a VPN for More Content
With a VPN like NordVPN, you can access Netflix catalogs from other countries (US, UK, Japan) that have more movies and shows. The VPN costs about 1,250 FCFA/month at RDS Hub.
5. Download for Offline Viewing
Download your movies and shows on WiFi to watch offline. This avoids mobile data consumption and lets you watch on the go.
Conclusion
With Netflix Turkey via RDS Hub and a VPN, you can enjoy Netflix in 4K for less than 7,500 FCFA/month, that's 40% of the European price. Mobile Money payment, instant delivery.
