Audit Your Streaming Subscriptions: AI Rotation Prompt

Audit my streaming subscriptions and build a 6-month rotation plan that cuts my bill without losing what I watch.

My subscriptions (service, plan, monthly price):
{subscriptions}

What I actually watch, and when new seasons are due:
{watching}

Rules: {rules}

1. Give each service a verdict: KEEP, ROTATE, or CANCEL, with one line of reasoning.
2. Build a month-by-month table for the next 6 months showing which services are active.
3. Show my current monthly cost, the new average monthly cost, and the yearly saving.
Use only the prices I gave you. Don't look up or assume other prices.

◆ Tested on Claude Opus 5.5 · October 5, 2026. The example below is that model's actual output for the sample details shown. AI answers vary between runs, so check anything important.

Example input

• subscriptions: Netflix Standard $17.99 · Max Standard $18.49 · Disney+ Premium $18.99 · Apple TV+ $12.99 · Peacock Premium $10.99 · Paramount+ Essential $7.99
• watching: Netflix: always something on, used weekly · Max: one show returns in January · Disney+: kids watch a few times a week · Apple TV+: Slow Horses usually returns in the autumn · Peacock: only for one football team on Sundays, Sept–Jan · Paramount+: haven’t opened it in 3 months
• rules: the kids’ service has to stay; I’m fine binge-watching a show a month after it airs

Example output

Verdicts

• Netflix: KEEP. Used weekly; it’s your default service.
• Disney+: KEEP. Your rule says the kids’ service stays.
• Max: ROTATE. Turn it on in January for the returning show, binge it, and cancel.
• Apple TV+: ROTATE. Sign up for one month once the new season has fully aired.
• Peacock: ROTATE. Keep it September–January for football, then pause it.
• Paramount+: CANCEL. Three months unused.

Month	Netflix	Disney+	Peacock	Max	Apple TV+	Total
Oct	✓	✓	✓			$47.97
Nov	✓	✓	✓		✓	$60.96
Dec	✓	✓	✓			$47.97
Jan	✓	✓	✓	✓		$66.46
Feb	✓	✓				$36.98
Mar	✓	✓				$36.98

Current: $87.44/month. New average: $49.55/month. Saving: about $37.89/month, or $454.68/year.

Your fixed floor is now Netflix + Disney+ at $36.98. The next saving would come from a cheaper tier or a bundle for those two. I haven’t priced those because you asked me to use only your numbers.

Tips

• Paste prices straight from your bank statement. Telling the AI not to look prices up stops it from mixing in out-of-date numbers.
• Re-run this every January and September, when most price rises and new seasons land. Our price hike tracker lists what changed this year.
• Copilot with Microsoft 365 can turn the table into a spreadsheet you can update yourself.
