The Best Letterboxd Alternatives in 2026
People leave Letterboxd for a handful of reasons, and they are nearly always the same ones: they want TV shows tracked in the same place as their films, they want the watchlist to be an order and not a pile, they want the stats without a subscription, or they want a tracker that is still moving. Letterboxd is a big film community. It is not the only shape a tracker can take.
We make one of the alternatives, so read this knowing that. Everything below is checked as of September 2026.
Queuebrick
Ours. A fully featured film and TV tracker, and a fast-moving one: a queue you drag into the order you will actually watch, ratings out of 10 in tenths, a diary, free stats, one review per title with a discussion room under it, follows and an Activity feed of what friends are watching, lists with a timeline view, and 27 franchise timelines with a canvas to draw your own. Free on the web and iPhone, no ads, no paid tier. Your Letterboxd export comes over in one drop: watched, ratings, watchlist, likes, diary dates, reviews, and lists. TV Time, Trakt, IMDb, Simkl and Serializd exports do too.
What it is not yet: a scrobbler (nothing marks things watched for you) or an Android app (the site works there, the native app is iPhone). The whole case, row by row, is on the Letterboxd page.
Trakt
The tracker that other apps plug into. Trakt covers films and TV with episode-level history, and its real feature is scrobbling: connect Plex, Kodi, Infuse, or one of dozens of apps and your history writes itself. It has the largest ecosystem of any tracker here by a distance. The catch is the free tier, which tightened in 2026: the watchlist caps at 250 items, personal lists at five of 250 each, and as of July a free account keeps one connected app at a time. VIP, which lifts the limits, runs about $30 a year. If automatic tracking is the point, Trakt is still the answer.
Simkl
Films, TV, and anime in one place, with scrobbling of its own and a generous free tier: unlimited tracking, calendar reminders, and import and export are all free. VIP adds automatic backups and calendar sync at about $35 every six months. Simkl also has a built-in import tool that reads several other services' exports, which made it a common landing spot when TV Time closed. The interface is dense, and it looks it, but there is a great deal under it.
Serializd
Letterboxd for television, and openly so: a review diary first and a tracker second, with season reviews, lists, and a friendly community around them. It is free, on the web, iPhone and Android, and TV only, so films still need a home somewhere else. If your gripe with Letterboxd is purely the missing TV shelf and you like the reviews culture, Serializd is the nearest thing to the same experience for shows.
IMDb
The database everyone else's data descends from, with ratings out of 10 and a watchlist attached. It is free, it has every title, and its ratings carry weight because so many people leave them. It is not a tracker in the diary sense: no watch dates, no stats, no lists worth the name, and ads throughout. Good as a rating ledger, thin as a library.
TMDB
The Movie Database is the open dataset most trackers on this page, ours included, are built on. Its own site lets you keep a watchlist, favorites, ratings and lists, free and without ads, and it exports as CSV. What it lacks is the tracker layer: no diary, no stats, no queue. Worth knowing about because your data is portable from it to nearly anywhere.
JustWatch
A streaming guide with a watchlist, not a tracker. JustWatch answers "where can I watch this tonight" better than anyone, across every service in your country, and lets you mark things seen along the way. Ratings, diary and stats are not what it is for. Many people run it beside a real tracker rather than instead of one.
Moviebase
Android's tracker. Films and TV, episode progress, statistics in the free tier, and Trakt sync for portability. If you are on Android and want a native app with a proper TV shelf, Moviebase fills the gap Letterboxd's Android app leaves; the web side is thinner than the app.
Bingers
New in the summer of 2026, from Antonio Pinto, one of TV Time's original founders, built to succeed it after Whip Media shut TV Time down. Shows and movies with a community around them, on iPhone and Android, and it reads the TV Time archives people exported before the deadline. It is early, and how the free and paid sides settle is still to be seen, but for TV Time refugees who liked TV Time's social side it is the direct descendant.
Moving your data
Letterboxd lets you export everything under Settings, then Data. The zip holds your watched films, ratings, watchlist, likes, diary, reviews and lists as CSVs, and most of the trackers above read some of it. Queuebrick reads all of it, in your browser, and maps half-stars to the 10-point scale so four stars becomes an 8. Whatever you pick, export before you decide, and check that the new home can export too. A tracker you cannot leave is a tracker you did not choose.
Where to start
If you want your films and your TV in one place, a queue in the order you will actually watch, stats for nothing, and a tracker that keeps getting better, that is the one we built. Start with your export, or start from nothing; the shelf fills up in an evening either way.
