New VIP pricing

Wow. Going from $30/year to $60/year is simply not happening for me.

Really sad I’m going to have to cancel after NINE years, but I just don’t get enough from Trakt to justify a 100% price increase.

I can get a subscription to an actual streaming service for that!

I would have accepted an extra $10 a year (33% increase), but this is just too much.

Just a note on your “I would have accepted an extra $10 a month (33% increase), but this is just too much.”

Currently the sub costs $2.50 per month ($2.50 x 12 = $30), with the current increase in price coming the 20th it’ll raise it another $2.50 per month so it’ll now be $5 a month ($5 x 12 = $60), if we took your idea of an extra $10 a month ($2.50 + $10 ($12.50 a month)) that would be $150 a year instead of $60 a year which I don’t think you would like at all unless you mistyped and meant an extra $10 a year instead of month.

Agreed. You cannot just suddenly DOUBLE the price, during cost of living crisis.
I have been with you for many years and been happy to pay V.I.P.

But DOUBLE? Seriously?
I am sorry. But if this is a decision that you think is fair and reasonable, I will have to end my support for your service.

I cannot justify the expense.

I feel Trakt Loyalty to it’s users ends when it doubles the cost. Sadly my loyalty to Trakt will end at the same time.

Apologies - have corrected my error - I obviously meant an extra $10/year :flushed_face:

Doubling the price is offensive. I’m out, just cancelled after 10 years.

All your new features are uninteresting to me, I need basics.

Create a new tier at this price with i.e no auto tracking and I’ll reconsider.

Luckily we can export/backup all our data, thanks for this!

I don’t renew until November but I just cancelled my payment settings. Sorry, double the price with nothing else to offer after telling me “Thanks” just doesn’t sit right. This is a cash grab considering the owners claimed that “Trakt doesn’t have a revenue problem

Same here - renewal only in January, but will have to move to alternatives. Already did look at some when free tier became unusable, so I think I have options to replace Trakt… Really sad to see the greedy downfall

Yeah, that’s ludicrous.

9 years of membership, but I’ll be cancelling my subscription.
A 100% increase is disgusting.

EDIT: Cancelled.
Renewal was in just a few days!!

I remember the absolutely deafening cricket sound after I asked Justin why they’re making such sweeping changes to squeeze more revenue out of users if there is no revenue problem.

Thankfully I have until next May to decide if 4x the VIP price is worth it for me. What thanks for 11 years of loyalty, huh?

Yeah, ouch, a 400% increase going forward after next year.

$15 to $60. Rough. 13 years for this guy. Of course, a smaller price hike each year would have been a way better idea.

Congratulations for focking every VIP owner over!!! You simply could not raise the bar to 5€ per month and the annual to 40€, maybe 45€, something like that. Something reasonable like that. But instead - and I know you heard it before- you double the price!!! For what reasons?? Everything gets more expensive all the time - be it power, hardware or whatever … but that is not only for you, we also suffer (and I mean that). But this raise of the fee with no new features announced and some of the older still not working (frigging Paramount still not getting what I watch. I cannot sync that shit. After enteriing user and password it goes back to the selection of the services and I can „log in“ again instead of a „synced“ button like the others have…
Look in forums and this board especially, make the maths and please god don’t let this be your final decision!!!

Some advice, fire the management team that made a 100% price increase decision before you collapse. I have never seen a worse decision for a service such as this ever before. Too bad for the core geniuses that built this platform and love it who now have to watch it decay away due to some imbecile management. Hopefully the developers already cashed out and have the next best thing already drafted. Already cancelled, 5+ years.

That would be Justin. Firing Justin basically is firing Trakt but it’s heading in that direction anyway LOL. not sure how they will survive with all the VIP members cancelling/not renewing LOL

I’m a light user but like I to support the platform by being a VIP for a reasonable fee. This is too much. Goodbye.

Hell even Zorro had the decency to wear a mask before he robbed them!

Stepped increase would have been far better economic sense.
