For Netflix as long as the people are under one roof, you don't have to pay extra. If they are from two different houses - with two different IP addresses - then you need to pay. So if you share your network and Netflix with your neighbor, no need to pay extra.

If you take the Ultimate Max plan, the Netflix plan they give you is Standard, which is HD and two screens. If you take the Ultimate Plus plan, the Netflix plan they give you is Basic, which is HD and one screen. Neither of these plans will give you 4K Netflix, Disney and Max, unless you top up the extra money.

If they live in two household consistently, you need to pay else you'd be hassled by the app for the code.

Open the HBO GO app as usual, you’ll be greeted by a pop-up message prompting you to download the new Max app. Once it’s installed, just login using the same HBO GO credentials. Your HBO GO subscription will become Max Standard Plan by default.

QUOTE(John Chaser @ Nov 21 2024, 02:29 PM) Content licensing leads to shuffling. Warrior is currently on Netflix in 4K. Prior to this year, HBO/Warner's content could only be found on Max. Now they are actively licensing them out. So since Netflix wants Warrior and perhaps exclusively, Max can't have it. I think it's the same situation with Friends. For years it was on Netflix. Then when Max launched, Warner pulled it from Netflix US but internationally available on Netflix. Now they pulled it back to Max and probably to hype out the 4K remastering of Friends. So content comes and go. But so far, Netflix content has yet to go elsewhere.

Harley Quinn and Tomorrowverse not sure why because both of them are DC which they own. And Young Justice only has Season 2 for some reason despite the cover showing Season 4.
