Foxtel Now’s pricing starts at $25 per month for the Pop + Lifestyle starter pack, but can quickly grow to $104 per month if you want things like movies and sports. Binge doesn’t have sports, but then again, it doesn’t have channel packs at all. Your monthly subscription fee with Binge gives you complete access to the service’s library of TV shows and movies. Binge offers a longer two-week free trial but the more transparent pricing model also means you won’t get a rude shock if you forget to cancel before the trial is up. The most you will pay after your free trial is $18, but you can cancel at any time and there aren’t any lock-in contracts (as there are with traditional Foxtel).

Things are easier on Binge. Depending on what tier you pay for, you get one, two or four simultaneous streams. Currently, Binge also does not allow downloads for offline viewing, however, Foxtel says it is “in the pipeline”. The actual selection of Binge and Foxtel Now is actually quite similar. There’s premium drama from HBO (Game of Thrones, Sex and the City etc.) and AMC (The Walking Dead, Sons of Anarchy) available at launch. Binge is also getting a healthy dose of comedy thanks to Foxtel’s distribution NBCUniversal: The Office, Parks and Recreation, and 30 Rock to name a few. It’s also getting the eternally popular Big Bang Theory and Modern Family. Next to HBO, Binge and Foxtel Now’s most sought after content might be its lineup of the trashiest of the trash: its reality TV selection. Keeping up with the Kardashians, The Real Housewives series, Below Deck and more. Premium drama from HBO, FX, AMC and USA Network are all very nice to have, but one thing Binge has over Foxtel Now is complete access to the movie catalogue at no extra price. Foxtel’s deal with NBCUniversal extends to its Universal Pictures films. So entire series of movies, like the Bourne franchise or Jurassic Park series, are all ready to binge. There’s also a feature with Binge that Foxtel calls ‘Binge Centre’. In a situation where Binge has an entire films series, it will get its own hub in the app. This allows you to easily navigate through the series and access special features, like deleted scenes, commentary, that sort of thing.
