DC Universe Infinite offers three subscription tiers ranging from free to $12.99/month, with content depth and release delays varying by plan.

  • The free tier provides a rotating selection of comics plus DC GO! imprint titles.
  • The Standard plan costs $7.99/month or $74.99/year and includes over 27,000 comics.
  • Standard plan subscribers wait six months after a comic's print release before it appears digitally.
  • The Ultra plan costs $12.99/month or $119.99/year and unlocks over 35,000 comics.
  • Ultra reduces the new-release delay to 30 days and adds Vertigo and Black Label imprints.
  • Annual billing saves roughly 23% compared to paying month-to-month on either paid tier.
  • The service runs on iOS and Android devices; Amazon Kindle tablets are not supported.
  • Alternating monthly between DC Universe Infinite and Marvel Unlimited is one cost-management strategy.
