New VIP pricing

This is really unacceptable. What happened with the talk from a few months ago that legacy VIP members will keep their original pricing? I guess they showed us how little their word actually worths. My subscription renewed a few days ago at $30, so I’m good until this time next year, but I’m not going to pay anymore. $60 is way too much. They will loose more paying users than they’ll gain.

Ask Simkl’s Discord to add this function, I believe that with the migration of new users that is happening now, they will give priority to new requests if there are many to ask for.

Near 14 years and I just cancelled. They offered $30 for next year and $60 for the 2027. $60 is too much for what I get out of it, so I am getting out now. I loved the service, have played with the API over the years and contributed to Justins Kale when they needed funding. But a 400% jump is crazy for what is on offer. Sad to leave this service :slightly_frowning_face:

Any chance you can forward a message to disable phone verification, i dont like to give that sorta info away online, if possible.. Thanks :slight_smile:

They’re well aware of that request already, it’s the most voted for request on their support forum.

The unfortunate part is they don’t plan on ever making their rewatch feature work like trakt’s, where they keep a history of your multiple plays by each date you watched them.

Same here I can’t justify an 100% increase I’ll let my current membership run out and I won’t be renewing

I blame the Trump tariffs. Just kidding, but yes I’ll be cancelling. Member since 2013. It really sucks that Trakt doesn’t give a shit about the people that built the platform.

Spot on, always felt $30 was a lot. Realise people don’t work on the service for free but a 100% increase is just too much.

Loved this service but it is a convenience at best.

Support for Rewatches by SIMKL are something requested by a lot from what I can see. And from their Discord it looks like it has moved more to the foreground than it was judging by comments from the Dev.

I agree 100%

Who is making the discission’s over at Trakt a Ferengi or what?

“Rules of Acquisition 286”.. Never just raise prices when you can DOUBLE them instead. :rofl:

If $60 is to stay in place, that’s way too much money for what i get out of Trakt, now if we could integrate with my PLEX servers and Sync our collections seamlessly, that could keep me signed up.

Remember Trakt, “Rules of Acquisition 57” Good customers are as rare as latinum, treasure them. :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

You can sync your collection with Plex by using something like PlexTraktSync. I just run it as a docker container alongside my Plex server. It’s been working flawlessly for years and I’ve not touched it since the initial setup.

It would be easier to justify a price increase if Trakt had an official way of doing it instead of using 3rd party tools though

We have a similar built-in integration with Plex under development that we are going to announce very soon.

Sure you are. And you are going to make the sky orange. You are also working on having Trakt mark an episode marked as watched before you even watch it, all you have to do is think about watching it, oh and blink right eye to confirm.

Why should we believe anything you say at this point.

Who are you and what have you done to Justin ? Do we need Jason Statham here ?

Yeah, I know about PlexTraktSync and used it some months back and that is few hoops I don’t want to jump through again.
I’d like seamless integration without having to perform for it, a webhook would do just nicely.

A WebHook would be nicer but I set up PlexTraktSync once and it’s just a continuous sync and supports scrobbling in real-time as long as I have the docker container running

I understand that but I was just pointing out that it is an option already and if someone is hosting Plex, there’s a reasonable chance they are capable of setting up PlexTraktSync.

An official solution from Trakt would be nice, especially with the new pricing but I was just pointing out an already existing alternative for a user who mentioned syncing their collection seamlessly
