Rate Plans: Intelliflix has a number of plan options. One thing that makes Intelliflix unique, is the option to pay yearly. By doing this, you save a bundle. For example, if you pay for the entire year upfront,  you only pay $8.25/mo for 2 DVDs out at a time and $11.25/mo for 3 DVDs on the Superpass Standard Plan. If you decide to pay month to month, then the price jumps to $16.95/mo! So it is much cheaper if you pay for the year upfront! If your looking for games and mature titles,  then it will cost you a bit more. $14.75/mo if you pay for the entire year and $24.95/mo if you pay month to month.

DVD Avenue is a small but well rounded company. With over 25,000+ titles you can usually find what your looking for. With only one shipping center in Maryland...they can not really compete with Blockbuster and Netflix. Customer service is great and can be reached by phone or email. If you live in Maryland or some where close by and are looking to rent movies and games then this might be a good option for you. If you live out west, then getting DVDs just takes too long.Â

Pros:  1. Offer games and DVDs.  2. Excellent customer service that can be reached by phone or email.Â

Cons:  1. Only 25,000 titles compared to 55,000+ for all the big guys. 2. Not great on getting new releases. 3. Only 1 shipping center = slow delivery to anyone who does not live in Maryland or near by.Â

Rate Plans: $9.99/mo (1 at a time, unlimited)/  $14.95/mo (2 at a time, unlimited)/ $19.95/mo (3 at a time, unlimited)/ $24.95/mo (4 at a time, unlimited)/ $34.95/mo (6 at a time, unlimited)/ $44.95/mo (8 at a time, unlimited) The Free Trial is for 3 movies out at a time and an unlimited amount. No obligations/Cancel anytime.
