That version - for people on the ad-supported plan - isn't here yet. When Hulu initially promised offline viewing, the company said Hulu would be the first service to offer downloads that also include advertising for some members. Its ad-free premium level, which is the one getting downloads, is $12.ĭownloads have become a common feature for services like Hulu in the last three years, especially after industry leader Netflix introduced downloading in late 2016. Hulu's basic tier, which includes advertising, is $6 a month. People with Android and other devices will have to wait, as will anyone who has Hulu's ad-supported subscription. But not everybody is getting the feature right away: Starting Monday, downloads will be available to people who subscribe to Hulu's pricier, no-ads tier - and use Apple iPhones or iPads. Hulu, after promising downloads more than a year ago, is finally joining the ranks of streaming video services that let you cache shows and movies to watch offline when you're on a plane or anywhere else your mobile device can't get a connection.
