Bingers vs Help Me Binge

Bingers is the TV Time revival, built by TV Time's co-founder and launched August 4, 2026. If what you missed most when TV Time died was the people — the episode comments, the polls, the reactions — Bingers built exactly that, and it shipped on day one. What it asks of you is an app, an account, and (to bring your history along) an export file that stopped being obtainable on July 15.

Where Bingers is better, plainly:

The honest summary. Bingers is a community with a tracker inside it. Help Me Binge is a viewing record joined to a bill. If you kept your TV Time export and missed the comments, Bingers is the natural home for that half of your watching life — and this app runs happily in a browser tab beside it, doing the part no community app was built for: telling you which of your streaming subscriptions are earning their keep, worked out from what you actually watch rather than from numbers you type in.

The import question, because it decides everything

Bingers restores your TV Time history from the official GDPR export — the ZIP you could request at gdpr.tvtime.com until July 15, 2026, when the portal went offline with the app. Their import page takes that file, and takes it gracefully. If you have it, your history moves over with dates intact.

If you don't have it, no tracker's import can read a file that doesn't exist — Bingers included — and on Bingers you start anew. That's the case Help Me Binge was built for: it rebuilds your history from what still exists — your streaming services' own viewing records, a pasted list of shows from memory, or the cache inside a TV Time iPhone backup — processed in your browser, and one-tap exportable forever after so your history is never trapped inside an app again.

See what your viewing actually costs

Track your shows in any browser, rebuild your TV Time history with or without an export file, and let the Subscriptions tab work out a cost per hour for every service you pay for. Free, no sign-up needed to start, exports any time.
