I got it. I wonāt be renewing next January. $30 a year wasnāt too expensive for me, but $60 is not worth it to me. Itās also a bigger chunk of my monthly budget for the month it renews. I mostly got it to support them, but it must be getting too expensive to maintain.

I didnāt get any emailā¦
I mean, if there was ever a reason to ditch Trakt completely, this would be it. I personally believe their service isnāt worth what they are asking for. ID RATHER PAY FOR A YEAR OF WORLD OF WARCRAFT then 60 bucks a year for this serviceā¦ What? You think Iām gonna pay 60 bucks a year to have a larger watchlist? Newsflash, the only reason I used your service was because it links to radarr/sonarr so well and grabs stuff off my watchlist. I now have no reason to use your service once so ever.
From here on out, Iāll just use Overseerr to add new content to my sever as I do not have to pay them a cent to use their service.
The beginning of the end for Trakt.

100% price increase! That is steep. Your value prop doesnāt support that. There are numerous applications out there that offer much of what Trakt offers for free or much less. Very disappointed to see this. As a longer time VIP customer I am going to have to consider the value being offered at twice the price. At $60/year ā¦ you are charging what some streaming services charge ā¦ and they provide actual content.
Side note ā¦ servers are actually not as expensive as they once were. I realize you are trying to provide reasoning but thatās not it. At $30/year ā¦ you should have plenty to cover costs. And at $30/year you will have more customers. At $60 per year you will likely lose customers ā¦ maybe a lot of customers.

It is great Trakt is such a useful system but it is annoying and of concern that these Apple loving people (see the whole problem around them creating a proper Android App, "no they said, we have to fix the Apple App first) think they need to indiscriminately increase prices whenever they feel they need a pay rise. It feels like the thin edge of the wedge, they will gradually reduce the size of the Freemium lists until there is nothing left.
Secondly, based in the US their pricing possible feels OK to them but when it is converted to almost any other currency it quickly becomes unreasonable. This is incredibly short sighted, channeling users into a pay plan and restricting free users is fine but overcharging for that pay plan is so not good. They should be urged to consider those paying for the service, their users, and stop treating them as some kind of cash cow.

They said they start with what they know.
I did receive the email, when I saw it. I came to the forum to make sure it wasnāt a joke, when it wasnāt a joke. I cancelled. 12 years VIP comes to an end in February next year.

I actually found the email in my spam folder. I think many people still arenāt aware of the VIP price change.
