Saves money on rentals

Comparing rental prices across iTunes, Google Play, Amazon, and Vudu saves $1-3 per rental. Over a year that adds up. Price comparison works well.

Availability data not always current

A few times JustWatch said something was on Netflix but it had already left. The data is usually accurate but not 100%. Check before relying completely.

Filters by my subscriptions

Setting up my current subscriptions and only seeing content available on services I pay for is the key feature. No more seeing things on services I dont have.

Leaving soon alerts prevent FOMO

Getting alerts that a movie is leaving a service soon motivates me to watch it before its gone. The "leaving soon" feature prevents content FOMO.

Subscription cost tracker

Seeing total monthly cost of all my streaming subscriptions in one place was eye-opening. $75/month in streaming?! The cost awareness feature is sobering.

Missing some niche services

Covers all major streamers but some niche services (Criterion, Mubi, Shudder) have incomplete data. Better coverage of specialty streamers would help film fans.
