7 years, a gonna. Not putting up with this rubbish… ![]()
I get increasing costs, inflation and rising costs of everything, but straight up DOUBLING the price for everyone, even legacy customers who have been with you for over a decade, is unhinged and frankly insulting. Raising prices for new members, sure I guess. Basic PR/marketing training would tell you a 100% increase without any incentive or benefit to justify it is financial suicide. I would’ve swallowed a 25% increase, maybe even 50% if it came with new benefits, but 100%?
Similarly to others, I barely use the VIP features and simply do it to support the site, but at $60 a year that is no longer ‘sure whatever’ money. Goodbye VIP I guess.
After 13 years of VIP I will not be renewing in Feb next year. Terrible decision. Really is shameful that you think that we will accept a 100% increase.
Well after 8 years my payment is going from $30 to zero. They’ve clearly not thought through how much a 100% increase will alienate subscribers and they’re far more likely to take a loss though cancellations than they are to make more cash with the increase.
Basically just started using Trakt, had VIP for roughly a year now. Cancelled it. The price is just insane. $30 was already more I pay for my beloved to do app that I really use daily. Sad, and I somewhat hope they will fail with this whole strategy…
I’m out unfortunately. No 2 way sync with Plex put Trakt right on the edge. Double the yearly fee just pushed it way over the edge ![]()
It’s all been said.
I understand that prices may rise, but not by 100%. Might be time to move on after 8 years.
I’m out…double the price ![]()
I was never even thinking of canceling my vip that I had the last 13 years even though I am not using many of the vip features. I just wanted to support you guys but 60 bucks is a 4x increase. Just no.
I sympathise with the increased costs of utilities, bandwidth and so on, but they’re hitting your users too, don’t forget!
Much as I would prefer to keep my VIP level and support your site, I’m on disability, which is a pittance at the best of times, and I haven’t been using Trakt so much in the past year anyway. With an increase of 100% from US$30 to US$60, I just can’t justify the expense enough to renew, so after 5 years I’ll be reverting to my free account. Sorry, people.
Is this just a late April fools joke?
Was trakt tariffed by trump or something? Lol, I’m sorry but this is insane. I won’t renew my subscription at this price.
I have been a VIP member for 4 years and would have gladly continued at the old price, but doubling it is, in my opinion, outrageous and illogical. A $5, max $10 increase might have been acceptable, but there is no justification for this doubling. There are other alternatives, and there always will be.
This year marked 8 years of having VIP, and with this change it will also be my last year. Doubling and doing away with grandfathered pricing is unacceptable.
Just canceled.
Double!? I’m out
Cheaper than dropout, a service that actually still honors grandfathered pricing for existing subscribers
Sad times.. how can you just double the price on your loyal customers.. I only ever paid the $30 because I liked your idea.. I hardly use the site.. my tracking is done elsewhere and syncs with trakt.. I’m not paying $60 for you to send me annual reports of what I watched.. sorry but I’ll be cancelling too..
What the hell, I’m definitely not paying 60€ per year for this. It is like 400% increase… What the hell…
And to be honest I mostly use this for calendar RSS, and keeping track what I watch, but mostly calendar to see when new shows are released. Don’t care about the app or anything, at least you should have design different tiers.
After 11 years I’m cancelling… 11 years!!!
Typical corporate wave the storm and backlash and it will be better. Probably also a way to improve numbers before selling th call and its data. The data is the real value!
What a shame…
