At its core, JustWatch is a search engine for digital media. Type in a movie or TV show, and it’ll tell you everywhere you can stream it, watch it for free with ads, buy, or rent it. Once you’ve found what you’re looking for, you simply click, and it’ll link you directly to that service.

It’s not a new idea – viewers have flocked to the internet to find out which show or movie has landed for years, but JustWatch is different in scale. Instead of just showing what’s streaming on a particular service (along the lines of What’sOnNetflix), JustWatch lets you browse over 100 different content libraries to see what’s available, where, and at what quality resolution you’re streaming. , how much it costs and the type of payment options available (subscription, rent, etc.).

This means that you can search multiple services in bulk, rather than just searching for a specific title, or have to log into Netflix, Prime, or Showmax separately to see what action movies or animation movies are on offer.
But it’s more than that too. It also puts together lists of the most-streamed movies and TV shows by country.
