The number of streaming services in Australia is continuing to grow, and if you feel like it’s hard to keep track of what you’re paying for (and what you’ve cancelled) Optus has launched a new service to help.
Optus SubHub wants to make managing your subscriptions easier by putting them in one place, and as an incentive, users can save up to 10% on their paid subscriptions when they add three or more to SubHub.
At launch, Amazon Prime is the only video streaming service that can be added to SubHub, but more are on the way – Optus says Netflix, Paramount Plus, BritBox and Fetch TV are all coming soon, as well as documentary streaming service iwonder.
It’s not only for video streaming services either – you’ll be able to add other subscriptions at launch including Kindle Unlimited, the meditation app Calm, news aggregator Inkl and Optus Sport. If you use one of the many Amazon services such as Prime Video, Prime Gaming or Amazon Music, they’re all included at launch too.
The real benefit of using SubHub though is the ability to save on your subscriptions. If you add at least two, you’ll save 5% on both, and if you add three or more, you’ll save 10% on all subscriptions.
The services will need to be eligible to be added to SubHub though, and some prominent streamers are noticeably absent, such as Stan, Disney Plus and Foxtel-owned properties Binge and Kayo. Considering Telstra owns a stake in Foxtel though, we can’t imagine Binge or Kayo will be available on StubHub anytime soon.
You’ll need to be an Optus customer to use StubHub, and it’s available through the My Optus app or through the SubHub website. If you’d like to check it out but you’re not an Optus user, take a look at its mobile plans below. As an added bonus, Optus customers can get 12-months of Amazon Prime for free as well.
