5 Signs You Have Too Many Streaming Subscriptions

February 07, 2026 3 min read

Streaming was supposed to be the affordable alternative to cable. Then it became cable.

The Warning Signs

1. You can't name what you watched on each platform last month

If you can't remember the last thing you watched on Sony LIV or Zee5, why are you paying for it?

2. You signed up for one show and forgot to cancel

The classic. You wanted to watch one series, finished it in a week, and have been paying ₹499/month since.

3. You spend more time choosing an app than choosing a movie

When the decision starts at "which app do I open?", you have too many apps.

4. Your total monthly spend exceeds ₹1,000

Add up all your subscriptions. If it's more than ₹1,000, you're paying premium cable prices for "cord cutting."

5. You've never checked what's available across all platforms

You might be paying for two services that have most of the same movies.
