Simkl Alternative: A Simpler Way to Track TV & Movies

Simkl is powerful and feature-rich, especially for anime, and it has both AI recommendations and a browser extension. If that feels like a lot, WhatToWatch is the calmer take. Both are free, across web, iOS and Android.

How WhatToWatch differs from Simkl

• One confident Smart Pick for tonight with a taste-match score, instead of a dashboard of lists.
• A calm Watching shelf that shows only what is in rotation, with progress bars and resume times.
• A public shareable schedule of your upcoming episodes.
• Streaming availability per title and 20+ language UI.

Simkl remains the stronger choice for deep anime tracking. Free tier includes unlimited tracking and AI Smart Pick; Plus $1.99/mo, Premium $5/mo.
