Plan structure and pricing tiers

The tier ladder splits across MUBI monthly for testing the service, MUBI annual for everyday use, and MUBI GO (cinema ticket add-on) for power users or households. Anchor pricing for 2026: USD 14.99/month or USD 119.88/year (US); GBP 11.99/month UK; MUBI GO with cinema ticket add-on.
