FAQ

How should I react to a Max price increase?

Is Max better as a rotation service?

Often, yes. If your usage spikes around one prestige release and then fades, rotation is usually the cleaner financial move.

Should I keep Max just because I like the catalog?

Only if you actually watch it often. Liking the idea of the catalog is not the same as using it enough to justify the annual cost.

Does a price increase change the Max decision quickly?

Can I downgrade Max instead of canceling?

If a lighter plan still fits your watching habits, downgrading can preserve access without carrying the full cost.
