DC Universe Infinite: Pricing, Plans, and More

Wait 5 sec.

Last week, we went over Marvel Comics’ subscription service, Marvel Unlimited. So, it would only be fair to check out DC’s subscription service: DC Universe Infinite. They’re pretty similar; if you use one, you can navigate and understand the other. There are some key differences, though, enough to warrant a whole separate article. Here’s what you need to know about DC Universe Infinite. DC Universe Infinite’s PlansThe subscription service has 3 different plans, each with different content. Let’s go over what each plan has and how much they cost.FreeThe first plan is completely free, so it should come as no surprise that this is the plan with the least amount of content. But you do get some neat stuff. You get a few free comic books to read, and these change from time to time. You also get some comics from their DC GO! imprint. This imprint is specifically made to be read on digital devices. Not bad for a free tier.StandardNext is the standard plan. This plan can be bought monthly for $7.99 or annually for $74.99. According to the DC Universe Infinite website, here’s everything that comes with this plan: over 27k comics, with new comic books being available 6 months after their release. It’s a bit of a wait, but it could be worse; it could be 8 months or even a year. This plan also allows for a 7-day free trial. UltraThe final plan is Ultra. The website states that this plan has over 35k comics, which include books from imprints such as Vertigo and Black Label. Also, instead of waiting 6 months for new releases, you’ll now have to wait just 30 days. This plan is definitely the one with the most value, but it’s also the priciest. Monthly is $12.99, and annually is $119.99. A 7-day free trial is also available for this plan.\These are the 3 plans that potential customers can choose from. Now, let’s take a look at what devices are supported.What Devices Does It Work On?In the FAQ section of the website, it says that it’s available on iPhones, iPads, Android phones, and Android tablets. You might notice that there’s one big omission: Amazon Kindle tablets. Yep, like Marvel Unlimited, this service is also not available on these devices. It’s unfortunate, but not a dealbreaker. \I’ve personally used this service on iPhone and iPad, and it worked seamlessly. I haven’t tried it on Android devices, but I imagine it would be a similar positive experience. \Now, for 2 more important questions:Is DC Universe Infinite Worth It? Which Plan Is Right For Me?I would say yes, it’s absolutely worth it. If you’re just a casual DC fan and want to read certain comics from time to time, I would go for the standard plan. If you love reading comics and know you can read a ton in a month, the Ultra plan is the one for you. And whether you want to go monthly or annually is up to you. It’s apparently 23% cheaper to go annually. \However, I also know that some people love to alternate between services. One month, it would be Marvel Unlimited, then DC Universe Infinite. I think this might be the smartest way to do it, but there is no right or wrong way. So, choose the right option for you, and start reading!Read MoreWhat You Need to Know About Marvel Unlimited: Pricing, Tiers, and More5 Characters That Need to be in Marvel's Spider-Man 3Batman: Arkham Knight - All of the Arkham Episodes Ranked\
