If you are comparing the KeepStreams price with an immediate offline-viewing need, first decide whether the KeepStreams free trial covers a few authorized U-NEXT titles or whether you need a paid plan for repeated desktop use. KeepStreams for U-NEXT is desktop software. Available for Windows and macOS. It saves authorized U-NEXT content as MP4 or MKV files for personal offline viewing where permitted by applicable law and platform terms. This module is separate from KeepStreams One and does not include a U-NEXT subscription or title access. The sections below compare plan billing, checkout, account setup, and activation.
*Note: KeepStreams' current usage guide lists paid-license quotas of up to 100 downloads per day and 700 per week. U-NEXT charges are separate, and checkout totals may include applicable taxes and fees.
KeepStreams U-NEXT Price, Formats, and Batch Downloads
KeepStreams U-NEXT Price: 3 Paid Plans in 2026 reflects the current plan structure as of October 2026: monthly for short-term use, annual for regular use, and lifetime for one-time software billing.
U-NEXT carries anime, J-dramas, Korean shows, and Japanese movies, but availability can vary by title and licensing window. KeepStreams does not change the U-NEXT access or entitlement required to play a title.
KeepStreams for U-NEXT is desktop software. Available for Windows and macOS. It saves supported U-NEXT titles as MP4 or MKV files, with H.264 and H.265 output choices. It is separate from both a U-NEXT subscription and the multi-service KeepStreams One package.
If you have never used KeepStreams, start with the free trial first. The current trial allows 3 full U-NEXT videos within 30 days for this module, so you can check title analysis, output format, audio, subtitles, and playback before choosing a paid plan.
KeepStreams' current usage guide lists paid-license quotas of up to 100 downloads per day and 700 per week. For repeat desktop use, paid plans support batch downloads and automatic processing for supported newly available episodes.
Here is a practical way to match the plan to how long you expect to use KeepStreams for U-NEXT:
1. Go with the 1-Month Plan if:
- You have a short-term U-NEXT project and need paid desktop use for one billing cycle at $34.99.
- You want to evaluate the paid workflow for a limited period without committing to recurring annual billing.
- You need to prepare several authorized titles for personal offline viewing before a trip.
2. Go with the 1-Year Plan if:
- You use U-NEXT across several months and prefer the $69.99 yearly plan instead of renewing the $34.99 monthly plan.
- You frequently prepare authorized shows on your laptop for personal offline viewing while traveling.
3. Get the Lifetime Plan if:
- You prefer the $99.99 lifetime one-time software-license payment instead of recurring billing for the selected KeepStreams product.
- Pro Tip: The $99.99 U-NEXT lifetime plan is $30 more than the $69.99 yearly plan and costs less than three separate $34.99 monthly payments. If you regularly use several supported streaming services, compare it with KeepStreams One, which is a separate multi-service package.
Purchase and Billing for Windows and Mac
STEP 1. Head to the official KeepStreams U-NEXT Downloader page and click "Buy Now".
STEP 2. Tick the plan you want. Windows and macOS are separate product choices, so select the installer and license that match the computer where you will use KeepStreams. Then click "Buy Now" to continue.
STEP 3. Type in a working email address. If an eligible promotion provides a KeepStreams coupon code, enter it in the checkout field under the terms shown on the official sales campaign page. You will need this email later to activate the software, so do not mistype it. Click "Continue".
STEP 4. Choose how you want to pay. Pick your card type, fill in your details, review the order total and any applicable taxes or fees, and click Pay to finish the transaction.
STEP 5. Check your inbox for the receipt. Subscription plans renew automatically unless you cancel through the available account tools or KeepStreams support. Cancellation stops future renewal billing and does not automatically refund the current term; refund requests are reviewed under the conditions for the purchased plan in the KeepStreams refund policy.
How to Create Your Account
To activate the paid U-NEXT downloader features, use the KeepStreams account tied to your purchase email. If the email is not registered yet, create the account, verify the address, and set a password. If it is already registered, sign in or reset the password instead.
STEP 1. Go to the sign-up page if your purchase email is not already registered. Enter the email address used for the order, then click "Create Account". Existing users can sign in with that account instead.
STEP 2. Check your inbox. KeepStreams will send a verification email — click the link inside to confirm your address.
STEP 3. Set a password you will remember. Your account is now active and ready to log into the software.
How to Activate KeepStreams After Purchase
Open the KeepStreams app on your desktop and sign in with the KeepStreams account tied to your purchase. Depending on the current build, the menu may label this option "Sign In," "Authentication," or "Authorize." A separate license-key entry is usually not required.
STEP 1. Launch the KeepStreams client on your computer. Open the account area and choose "Sign In," "Authentication," or "Authorize", depending on the current version.
STEP 2. Enter the email and password from the account you just set up.
STEP 3. Done. Activating a paid license replaces the trial allowance with the purchased plan limits. The daily limit stated in the pricing section still applies.
If the account does not authenticate, confirm that you used the purchase email, reset the password if needed, or contact KeepStreams support for account assistance.
After activation, you can download U-NEXT videos on PC as local files for personal offline viewing. Use authorized access and authorized content only, do not redistribute the files, and follow applicable law, U-NEXT's terms, and any permissions specific to your use case.
A KeepStreams license changes the software limits; it does not change U-NEXT account access, title availability, or the permissions that apply to the content.
Final Thoughts
The KeepStreams U-NEXT price structure is straightforward: the free trial allows 3 full videos within 30 days, while the paid module costs $34.99 monthly, $69.99 yearly, or $99.99 for a lifetime license. The billing term changes, but the U-NEXT module itself remains the same product.
If you need the software for only one billing cycle, the $34.99 monthly plan is the lowest upfront cost. The $69.99 yearly plan is essentially the cost of two monthly payments, while the $99.99 lifetime plan is $30 more than the yearly plan and less than three separate monthly payments.
Use the 3-video trial first to check the exact U-NEXT titles and settings that matter to you, including analysis, resolution, audio, subtitles, and completed-file playback. Then choose a paid term only if the current build fits your workflow.

FAQs
Q1. Can I watch saved U-NEXT videos on my iPhone or Android phone?
KeepStreams for U-NEXT is available for Windows and macOS. You can transfer an authorized local MP4 or MKV file to a phone, but playback requires an app that supports its container, video codec, and audio format. MP4 is usually the more practical starting point for phone playback.
Q2. Does a lifetime KeepStreams license include a U-NEXT subscription?
No. A lifetime license is a one-time software payment for KeepStreams for U-NEXT. U-NEXT account access and title entitlements remain separate, so you still need authorized access and must follow applicable law and U-NEXT's terms.
Q3. Do I need a credit card to use the free trial?
Review the current free-trial terms before installation, as requirements may change. If you decide to purchase a paid plan, review the checkout requirements before payment.
Q4. Can I save U-NEXT videos in 4K with Japanese audio and subtitles?
KeepStreams for U-NEXT supports source-dependent output up to 4K, with 1080p also available. Current product materials list MP4 or MKV, H.264 or H.265 video, Dolby Atmos, EAC3 5.1, AAC 2.0, selectable audio languages, external SRT files, and remuxed soft subtitles where available. Resolution, audio, and subtitle options depend on the authorized title and current compatibility, so use the free trial with a suitable title before choosing your settings.
Q5. Does buying KeepStreams give me U-NEXT access from the United States?
No. Buying the Windows or macOS software does not include a U-NEXT account, regional access, or title entitlement. Using KeepStreams for U-NEXT requires authorized U-NEXT access and compliance with applicable law and the platform's terms.
