I completely understand price increases. But from $30 to $60 is downright insulting. Cancelled.
I’ll be running my subscription out then. Your web front end has been consistently, reliably slow. I could put up with it for $30, you’ve never solved the issue - I’m not paying double when you can’t resolve ongoing issues.
Too bad. I paid for this for a decade. A 100% price hike is unnacceptable. I’m out and scrape my own data.
Agreed, this is hard to swallow. Especially since I really don’t use any of the VIP features except for longer collections for Watchlist. I mainly got VIP for no-ads and to support Trakt, since I could have just used an ad-blocker but I like the simplicity of Trakt.
To play devils advocate, I could understand some increase, it was $30 when I registered in 2018 and inflation is real. I get Trakt’s cost have also gone up, but… doubling the pricing… that’s a lot; seems like more for some other people.
I have a year until renewal, since it just renewed, so I guess I’ll look at options. I like trakt, but I’m not sure the price-to-value is there now. Especially since most stuff in VIP doesn’t appeal to me.
Unfortunately I have to tone in with all the other replies here…
I used to love trakt. But recent decisions with the rebranding and focusing on new agendas that I’m not interested in do not justify a price increase of 100%!
Not to mention that everything else in life got more expensive but this is something I just can live without.
I’d like to thank Trakt for looking after my economy. Just the other day they sent me an email recommending to cancel my Netflix subscription because I didn’t use it enough. Now they are saving me another 30$ a year! Thanks, guys!
Seriously though, 60$ a year, are they crazy? Did Elon Musk just buy the company or something?
It’s not even the amount of money. 60 a year is nothing in the grand scheme. But a 100% increase while thanking me for being a long time supporter with no new useful features announced is insulting. I don’t do business with people who insult me so brazenly.
This is the end of my VIP subscription for me!
Well, it was fun while it lasted. Guess I’ll have to find another way to track my watches…
I don’t really use Trakt much but for $30/year it was a “sure, why not, support the company” kind of thing.
$60 is too much. I’ve cancelled.
I’ve enjoyed supporting trakt a couple of years now and had plans on continuing. A price increase was expected and tbh $40 or even $50 would be fine / considered, but the 100% increase is just insulting your supporters. ![]()
Just in time for my renewal in June… guess I’m canceling.
It doesn’t make sense to pay double what I’m currently using for what was basically a set and forget service for me…
9 years VIP here but double the price is not worth it, cancelled
I am about to cancel too, not gonna do it for 60, they are crazy, I’ll just revert to a free account and recommend Simkl, they actual care and listen to their users…
I like how there isn’t even any doubt or hesitation for anyone. Most of us are probably aware how well Justin “listened” when he introduced the changes for free users.
We just know that it’s pointless to debate, instead it’s simply time to quit.
I’m canceling also, for a service I don’t need but I figure I’d support at $30
Wow, what a miscalculation. You’re about to lose 90% of your subscribers forever. No one will ever trust you again, so no amount of price rollback/apology is going to convince people to stay.
US$5 a month is nearly twice what I’m paying for Spotify right now, and that I at least use every week! SMH.
Cancelled, now you get nothing!!!
