FeedFlix Review: Are You Getting Your Money’s Worth from Netflix?

If you’ve ever wondered if you’re getting a good value out of your online DVD rental subscription, FeedFlix might be a handy little service for you to try. FeedFlix is free, and works by aggregating RSS feeds from Netflix to compile usage statistics for you and other FeedFlix users. With it you can see in objective terms how much value you’re getting out of Netflix.

Signing up is easy. Head to FeedFlix, and enter your Netflix username and password. It’s important to note that Feedflix is not associated with Netflix; they just consume Netflix RSS feeds and obtain an authorization token directly from Netflix.

Once you do this, FeedFlix will begin analyzing your usage data. Within a few minutes, your dashboard should be filled with some interesting numbers. Check out the video walk-through below to see what this looks like, but here are some stats you’ll find:

• Average rentals per month
• Average number of days you hold movies
• Average cost per physical rental
• Average cost per total rentals (physical plus on demand)
• Rentals per week (bar chart)
• How your numbers compare to other FeedFlix users

All-in-all, it’s a very simple, focused application meant to answer one question: Is Netflix Worth It?

In my case, the answer is a resounding ‘YES!’

Check out my Netflix and Blockbuster review if you’re thinking about joining one of these services. It is the most comprehensive review available for these two services.

Both services offer free two-week trials, and both are easy (and hassle-free) to cancel, so if you’re on the fence, don’t feel bad about giving them both a test drive to see which one works best for you.
