Question 1

How much do people typically spend on streaming each month?

Accepted Answer

A household with three or four services typically pays somewhere between £40 and £65 a month in the United Kingdom, or $50 to $80 a month in the United States. Your own total depends on which plans you are on, so the calculator uses the prices you enter.

Question 2

How do you decide whether to keep, switch, pause or cancel a service?

Accepted Answer

It is based on how often you say you watch. If you watch most days or every week, we suggest you keep it. If you watch a few times a month, we suggest switching to a cheaper plan where the provider lists one, and we tell you what you give up. If you rarely watch, we suggest pausing. If you do not watch at all, we suggest cancelling.

Question 3

Why do I need to choose a country?

Accepted Answer

Streaming services offer different plans, different prices and in some cases are not available at all from one country to another. Choosing your country means every figure you see is in one currency and every plan shown is one you can actually buy.

Question 4

Are the prices up to date?

Accepted Answer

The listed prices are indicative list prices for the standard consumer plan in your selected country, and the page shows the date they were last reviewed. Providers change prices without much notice, so check the provider’s own page before you switch, pause or cancel. Every price in the calculator is editable so you can enter exactly what you pay.

Question 5

Do I need an account or my bank details?

Accepted Answer

No. There is no sign-up and no bank connection. You enter the services and prices yourself and the calculation happens in your browser.
