When TV Time shut down, most people grabbed the first thing that could hold their list. That was the right call at the time — losing six years of history is worse than picking imperfectly.
You don't have to move again. Import your list here as well, and see something your tracker doesn't tell you: what your shows are actually costing you.
Import my list here too — free →Takes a tap. No sign-up needed to start. Nothing to uninstall.
Because they do different jobs. Trakt and Simkl are very good at tracking what you watched. Neither was built to answer the question that shows up when the bill lands.
And adding this one alongside costs you nothing: Help Me Binge works with a free account and has no connection limits — sync is free on every device, and a second tracker doesn't count against anything.
Simkl has a subscription tracker, and it's genuinely useful — but it's a ledger. You type in each service and what it costs, and it adds them up.
Help Me Binge derives it from your actual viewing. It looks at what's on your list, what you're mid-season on, what's still airing, and how long it's been since you last watched anything on a service. Then it tells you which subscriptions are earning their keep and which are running on autopilot.
It also checks your watchlist against the free ad-supported services and flags which of your shows are streaming free right now on Tubi, Pluto TV and The Roku Channel — plus Hoopla and Kanopy with a library card.
From your TV Time GDPR export — one tap. It runs entirely in your browser, so it finishes in seconds. No upload queue, no waiting list, no tier required.
From Trakt, IMDb or Letterboxd — CSV import.
From nothing at all — paste a list of titles, or start fresh in about two minutes.
Your data stays on your device unless you create an account. If you do, it's free, and it only adds cross-device sync.
Nothing. No paid tier, no VIP, no ads, no upsell at 250 items. Everything described on this page is the whole product.
If that seems too good, the honest answer is that it's early and small. There's no venture money to earn back, and the plan is to keep the tracking free permanently.
Every tracker in this category is made by people who care about it, and a few do things Help Me Binge doesn't.
Movie Paradise reads more of other people’s files than anything else here — Letterboxd, IMDb, Simkl, SeriesGuide, TV Time, Trakt ZIP, Showly and more, plus a custom JSON/CSV mapper for anything not on the list, and its 12 August release added another eight importers on top. Help Me Binge reads one format; they read roughly sixteen, and on importing there is no argument to have. It brings TV Time comments back too, and rebuilt its taste-match score in August. It is on iPhone, on Android and on the web — this page said otherwise until today, which was wrong, and the correction is ours. What is actually different is the bill: its detailed stats, notes and release alerts sit in a Premium tier at $1.99 a month or $29.99 once, its free tier carries ads, and it does not track live sport.

Bingers — from TV Time's co-founder — brought back the community layer: episode comments, polls, reactions. If you landed there after the shutdown, that part is genuinely good, and there's nothing to undo. Keep bingeing there; open this in a browser tab when the streaming bill lands. Full comparison →
Trakt has the best scrobbling in the business — years of Plex, Kodi and player integrations that automatically mark things watched. If that matters most to you, use Trakt.
Simkl has an open API, a large community, and apps on more platforms.
Serializd is the nicest place to write about what you watched.
The job this one adds is different: it looks at what you actually watch and works out which subscriptions are earning their keep — not from numbers you type in, but from your viewing itself. That's the reason to have it open too.
Prices, tiers and features on other services change often — check their own sites for current details rather than taking our word for it.
