Free Streaming Cost-per-Hour Checker
Plenty of streaming households have the same argument twice a year, and nobody can settle it — because the cost lives in your bank statement and the watching lives inside six different apps. This free checker puts the two in one place for up to six services: enter what each costs a month and roughly how many hours you watched on it, and it returns cost per hour watched and a verdict — keep, watch more, or cancel. It opens pre-filled with a worked household, so the method is legible before you change a thing. It's a taste of the full Streaming-Service Value & Watchlist Workbook.

What it does
- Works out what each of up to six services costs per hour you actually watched — the number that settles the argument.
- Returns a keep, watch more, or cancel verdict for every service, against two value thresholds you set yourself. (There is a fourth verdict, rotate — it's in the full workbook.)
- Adds up the blended cost per hour for the whole household, so you can see what streaming really costs you an hour.
- Opens pre-filled with a complete worked example — type over it with your own services. No email, no signup, no logins to store.
Own it, don't rent it
Want the watchlist, the renewal calendar, and the rotation plan?
This free sheet gives you three of the four answers. The fourth is rotate — cancel now, come back for a concentrated month when enough has queued up — and it needs a watchlist. The full Streaming-Service Value & Watchlist Workbook adds the watchlist that counts your hours for you, the queued-titles count that turns a cancel into a rotate, a renewal countdown that catches free trials before they convert, every billing cycle on one comparable monthly scale, a twelve-month rotation planner priced against paying year-round, and a dashboard — in one connected workbook (Excel, Google Sheets, or LibreOffice) plus three guides.
A one-time purchase you keep — rather than a monthly subscription to an app that helps you cancel monthly subscriptions.
