Why is Paramount+ so much more expensive in the US? Do you guys get a lot more content over there? It is fairly bare-bones in Australia (although it does have a lot of live football, which is why I pay for it) but the price gap is still massive:

New US prices (in USD):

The Paramount+ Essential (ad-supported) plan will increase by $1 to $8.99 per month, and the Paramount+ Premium (ad-free) plan will rise by $1 to $13.99 per month. Annual plans will also increase, with the Essential plan moving to $89.99 per year and the Premium plan to $139.99 per year.

New Australian prices (in AUD):

The Basic with Ads plan has gone up from $6.99 to $7.99 per month. The Standard plan has gone up from $10.99 to $12.99 per month, and the Premium 4K plan has gone from $13.99 per month to $17.99 per month.

The Paramount Plus annual plans have increased in price too. Basic with ads has increased from $61.99 to $70.99 per year, Standard from $97.99 to $115.99 per year, and Premium from $124.99 to $159.99 per year.
