The Bell Media-operated service says it is no longer offering what's known as its 'basic' tier, and instead offers access to Crave's entire library through a mobile app or the Crave website for $9.99, but is limited to one viewer stream at a time.

Price increases are heading to some Crave subscribers as the Canadian streaming platform rejigs its service to introduce a new mobile-only option.it is no longer offering what's known as its "basic" tier, which gave viewers a limited library of older HBO titles, Showtime and Crave Originals for a relatively low price of $9.99 per month.

The new offering effectively replaces Crave's basic tier price point and broadens the programming selection, but doesn't support downloading episodes onto phones, nor casting to televisions and isn't accessible on TV apps, such as Roku or Apple TV. The change largely impacts Crave basic subscribers who were less interested in HBO and movies but wanted to catch Showtime series -- including the upcoming series "Dexter: New Blood" -- and Crave's own "Canada's Drag Race" and "Letterkenny" on their televisions.

A representative for Bell Media says basic Crave subscribers who pay through the company's website will have access to Crave Total under a trial period until March 29, 2022.
