I modified the title to make it more descriptive
I also think it’s time for the open source and/or fediverse Trakt alternatives to get some love.
The price change is listed as going from $30 a year to $60 a year, and they’re also changing everyone to that price:
Starting May 20, 2025, all VIP renewals will move to a standardized price. This means that any legacy, promotional, or grandfathered pricing will no longer apply to renewals processed on or after that date. Instead, all VIP memberships will renew at the new standard rate going forward.
People are not happy on their forum:

This user poll suggests that around 97% of respondents (at the time of making this post) will not renew

It’s really sad, I am a VIP user for 10 years now but a 100% price increase is just too much for me. Are there any valid alternatives? The other commercial ones mentioned here cost pretty much the same so that not really and option for me.
Also, you mentioned you can export your data? Were you referring to third party export tools like traktextract?
*edit: Found the GDPR export.
I believe it also has a CSV export
I used the GDPR export which worked, now I just have to find a replacement.
Yep, there’s an export feature built into the site now. It used to be by request only, but now anyone can create a backup from the Settings > Data page on command.
