How it works
From “no idea” to “press play” in three moves.
01Start with one film
Type any movie you love. That single title tells the taste engine more about you than a hundred genre checkboxes ever could.
02Get real matches
Not "people also watched". It matches on mood, tone and story, so the recommendations feel like the film you named, not just the same shelf.
03Press play tonight
Every match shows where it is streaming in your country, and one tap opens the film directly in the streaming service. No detective work, no typing the title into three different apps.
The taste engine
It gets you. Then it gets better.
Favorite a film, skip it, mark it seen. Every tap teaches the engine what you actually like, so your fifth batch of recommendations beats your first. The profile is built from your reactions, not from what a studio paid to promote.
Too tired to even pick a movie to search for?
That is what Surprise Me is for. One tap, and the taste engine deals a hand of films chosen for your taste, tonight. No typing, no browsing, no forty-minute trailer spiral.
Included with Plus
For two
Movie Night: pick two, block one.
The “you pick” / “no, you pick” loop, solved with game rules.
- 1.Pair your phones with a short code.
- 2.Five films are dealt, drawn from both of your tastes.
- 3.Each of you secretly picks the two you want — and may block one dealbreaker. No peeking, no diplomacy.
- 4.The most-wanted film is tonight’s movie. Same rules whether you are two or twelve.
Not streaming yet? We’ll wait.
Put it on your watchlist and forget about it. The moment a film lands on a streaming service, actually included, not “available to rent for $14.99”, you get one email. That’s the whole feature, and that’s the point.
Streaming info for your country
Availability is checked where you live, powered by JustWatch data, and every result is a door, not a dead end: tap it and the film opens directly in the streaming service. On the rare film we cannot verify, we tell you “no streaming info” instead of guessing. Trust beats bluffing. Plex people: connect your account and results already sitting on your server get a PLEX badge.

Questions, answered.
What exactly is what-to.watch?+
A movie matchmaker. You tell it films you love, it learns your taste and recommends what to watch next, along with where each film is streaming in your country. It is not a streaming service. It works alongside the ones you already pay for.
Is it really free to try?+
Yes. You get 10 searches a day with no account at all, and 50 free searches when you create one. No card required. Plus removes the limits for $4.99 a month.
How is this different from the suggestions inside Netflix?+
Netflix recommends whatever keeps you on Netflix. We only answer to your taste. Recommendations come from the films you love, skip and have already seen, and they cover movies across services, not one catalog.
How does the AI learn my taste?+
From what you do: favorite a film, skip it, or mark it as seen. Every reaction updates your taste profile, so the recommendations keep getting sharper the more you use it.
Which countries does the streaming info cover?+
Availability is checked for your country automatically, using JustWatch data that covers most of the world. A few local providers are not tracked, and when we cannot verify where a film streams, we say so instead of guessing.
What is Movie Night?+
A quick game for people who cannot agree. Pair your phones with a code, get dealt the same five films drawn from everyone’s tastes, and each of you secretly picks the two you want — plus one block for a dealbreaker, if you must. The most-wanted film wins, so it never ends in another argument. Two players is free with an account; Party Mode for a larger group is part of Plus.
Can I cancel Plus anytime?+
Yes. Cancel whenever you like and you simply drop back to the free tier. No questions, no retention maze.
