Viewers juggle streaming subscriptions to find and watch titles

Streaming viewers with several subscriptions struggle to find where a title is included and to keep subscriptions aligned with what they plan to watch. Discovery, sign-ups, cancellations, and pausing are handled across separate services. A solo-built product could coordinate these decisions, but could not promise one plan with access to every service or automatically control subscriptions without platform cooperation.

For streaming subscribers who rotate between services. Mentioned from Feb 2024 to Dec 2025 on Bluesky and Hacker News.

  1. I would pay a lot for a service that took my money and moved it, month by month, between the streaming services based on the stuff I wanted to binge watch that month

  2. Is there a service that will manage all of your streaming subscriptions, so you can just click a button when you're not using them and click it when you want to watch something?
