6 years VIP here. I have also just cancelled my VIP. Doubling the price is ridiculous especially with no extra features.
As it was for the limited functionality i use the $30 felt more like a donation of goodwill. $60 is a joke.

The good part is that I have plenty of time to find something more suitable and migrate.
The price increase itself isn’t even my main reason to do so, it’s only the final motivating kick.
Changes in the past year rarely went into a direction that I would prefer. Useless (to me) features were added, sometimes even at the cost of features I favored.
See the “past year” filter option which was dropped in favor of “better” data on the views in the past 24h. I don’t know how this 24h data would benefit anyone but pirates, everyone else already gets top trends directly from their streaming services.
So I already felt like my money was badly invested in the future of Trakt. I don’t see any reason why I should double down on that.

13 years of VIP. But also going to cancel. I don’t know how you calculated your future earnings but this will certainly make many early VIPs go. If you have features that are cost intensive, make them an additional subscription. I’m not using most of the features. The service isn’t worth 60$ for me. Might have stayed indefinitely with the 15$ grandfathered price. But now I’ll just see how far free takes me. Worst case there is no kodi sync anymore.

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.

This is essentially the same price as a Dropout subscription. That’s a far better use of my money.
Just checked. It’s actually MORE than a Dropout subscription.

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.

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.
