Max is following Netflix and offering paid account sharing in the US as the video-streaming service embarks on its own password crackdown.
Similar to Netflix, the account-sharing lets a Max subscriber add an extra member to their account, allowing a friend or family member to enjoy the streaming service from their own household. In return, the Max subscriber pays an additional $7.99 per month.
“These Extra Members will have their own login credentials separate from the primary account,” Max says. “Extra members can stream from one profile on one device at a time and can enjoy all other benefits included in the primary account owner’s base plan.”

Max starts at $9.99 for the ad-supported plan, $16.99 for the ad-free plan, and $20.99 for the premium tier. Max points out that extra members “enjoy all other benefits included” in the subscriber’s base plan, such as video quality and downloads, if applicable.
If you have an annual Max plan, you can still add an extra member for $7.99 per month.
The extra member feature can also help users who’ve been ensnared in Max’s ongoing account-sharing crackdown, which is supposed to occur throughout this year and into 2026. The streaming service notes a subscriber can “transfer an adult profile to the extra member account,” letting them retain their watch history. But in some bad news, Max says the “Extra Member Add-On is limited to one add-on per account.”

Subscribers can purchase the add-on by going to the Max subscription settings. “Once an Extra Member Add-On is purchased, account owners can invite and manage their extra member via settings on web and mobile,” Max says.
