MoviePass is getting a little competition from Sinemia.
Sinemia today introduced plans that start at $4.99 per month for one ticket to any movie or $6.99 per month for two tickets. If you're into 3D, 4D, and IMAX movies, Sinemia will give you two of those tickets for $9.99 a month or three for $14.99 a month.
Sinemia previously offered individual plans starting at $10.99 for two tickets per month, including 3D, 4D, and IMAX formats. The company's plans work in all major US theaters.
Sinemia's new plans still pale in comparison to MoviePass's flagship offering: one movie a day, every day, for $9.99 a month. MoviePass recently brought back that plan after temporarily nixing it and capping visits at four movies per month for new subscribers.
So, why sign up for Sinemia when you can get more bang for your buck with MoviePass? As we recently pointed out, MoviePass's flurry of recent price and policy changes look a lot like the wheels are coming off. Meanwhile, Sinemia Founder and CEO Rifat Oguz said his company's model is sustainable.
"Our vision and goal has been to create a movie ticket subscription service that adds value for both for moviegoers and the movie industry," Oguz said in a statement. "We believe the only way to accomplish this is through a sustainable movie subscription model. Since 2014, we've been fine-tuning our model and are now the leading movie subscription service in the Canada, UK, Turkey, and Australia."
Sinemia also offers two perks MoviePass users don't enjoy: advanced ticketing and seat selection. You can book your tickets and select your seats up to 30 days ahead of time, so you won't have to wait in line at the theater.
So, if you're put off by MoviePass's frequent policy changes and/or its recent privacy scandal, know there is an alternative.
