Seasons Is an Intriguing New App for Those Wishing to Save on Streaming Subscriptions

Ah, the early days of streaming – I remember them well. Apple TV+ was free (with the purchase of a new Apple device, of course), Disney+ launched at under $7 per month, and the top dog of them all, Netflix, cost under $10. At the beginning of the pandemic, when there were seemingly infinite hours of the day to fill at home, streaming services offered a perfect solution with their vast libraries. The question wasn’t really which services you were subscribed to; it was which services you weren’t subscribed to.

Almost all streaming services started by operating at huge losses, so price increases were inevitable. What was surprising, though, was how quickly the services morphed into the cable-like packages and prices they were meant to be the antithesis of. The average user now pays more for their streaming services than they did in the past for cable. With the recent crackdown on password sharing, juggling your various streaming services is almost a skill unto itself.
