When it comes to the cheapest Netflix standard plans, Argentina and Turkey are the most affordable in monthly fees as well as yearly cost in relation to the average resident's income, coming in at just under five U.S. dollars. Even the eighth place on the list, South Africa, doesn't come close to the standard pricing in the United States. There, a standard membership costs 13.99 U.S. dollars per month, while South Africans pay approximately 9.44 U.S. dollars for HD content and multiple registered devices. In relation to real costs, India sits firmly in first place: While a standard subscription only costs 8.81 U.S. dollars, this amounts to to around five percent of the average yearly income. Of course, this figure can only serve as an approximate due to the wealth gap in the Asian country with one percent of the richest Indians accumulating 73 percent of the wealth generated in 2017.
