BINGE Price: How much does BINGE cost?


Streaming service BINGE subscription

BINGE is Australia’s answer to Netflix, providing subscribers with a massive selection of ad-free on-demand streaming content, including drama, doccos, reality TV and a selection of the best movies.

Operated by a wholly owned subsidiary of Foxtel, BINGE is able to offer subscribers access to content similar to what you’ll find on Foxtel channels as well as Foxtel Now and its add on packs.

In fact, BINGE not only offers you access to premium content you’d typically only find on Foxtel but also does so at a fraction of the price – and without lock-in contracts.

How Much Does BINGE cost per month?

The monthly cost of the BINGE streaming service depends on which plan you choose. Plans are priced according to the number of devices accessing BINGE as well as streaming resolution.

Options range from the Basic plan which offers standard definition (SD) video streaming on a single device, to the family-friendly Premium plan which offers video streaming in high definition (HD) on up to four devices. All plans feature full access to all BINGE content.

New customers can sample everything BINGE has to offer on a two week free trial. And Telstra postpaid customers can watch BINGE free of charge for three months if they subscribe through this provider.

Best of all there are no lock-in contracts required to access BINGE. Once your free trial period ends you can continue using it on a month-to-month basis and cancel at any time.

How does BINGE cost compare?

Competition is intense in the Australian streaming market, and BINGE has positioned itself as an affordable way to access the same premium entertainment you’ll find on Foxtel and Foxtel Now. Here’s how BINGE costs compare to other streaming services popular in Australia.

Foxtel

It’s tough to compete with Foxtel when it comes to sheer variety and volume of content. The company that launched pay TV in Australia offers 50+ channels featuring tv series, movies, documentaries, sports, lifestyle and more.

This variety comes with a relatively hefty price tag attached. Their cheapest offer, Foxtel Plus & Netflix, is priced at $49 per month on a lock-in subscription. And that’s not including the cost of any accessories or cabling required to get Foxtel reception in your home.

Foxtel Now

Foxtel Now is a streaming service offering the same content you’ll find on Foxtel satellite TV. The entry-level Essential base pack starts at $25 a month. This pack includes Foxtel’s most popular shows spanning lifestyle, drama, comedy, news and reality as well as its HBO content. To add movies to the mix you’ll need to pay another $20 a month for the Movies add on pack.

By contrast BINGE provides access to a large selection of shows available on Foxtel Now, as well as a huge movie library, starting at just $10 a month.

Netflix

Netflix streams series, movies and documentaries, placing it in direct competition with BINGE. There are some major differences between the two services, however. Netflix invests heavily in producing its own content, which includes high-profile exclusives like Stranger Things and Squid Game.

In comparison BINGE focuses on providing access to content from other networks, some of which is not available on Netflix. Pricing of the two apps is similar, with a basic Netflix plan starting at $10.99 per month.

Amazon Prime Video

Amazon Prime Video is another direct competitor with BINGE. Like Netflix, Amazon Prime invests in producing its own content, which includes films and series. This is packaged alongside a selection of shows syndicated from other networks and a large movie library.

Amazon Prime starts at just $6.99 a month and also offers new users a 30 day free trial.

Does BINGE have any Free Content?

BINGE offers all Australians the opportunity to access its full service free of charge for two weeks on any plan. If you’re a Telstra postpaid customer you’ll qualify for three months of free BINGE viewing if you sign up for a Binge account through this provider. If you keep watching BINGE after your free trial period ends you’ll be billed subscription fees for your chosen plan on a monthly basis.

BINGE review

We rate BINGE highly in terms of its content, usability and value for money. With access to the HBO catalogue and much of the same content as you’ll find in pricier Foxtel and Foxtel Now plans, BINGE is simply the best value for money streaming service for shows and movies in Australia.
