Comparisons

Moviebase vs TV Show Tracker (2026)

Updated Sep 18, 2026
Last checked 2026-09-18. This page is single-sourced from Moviebase's own comparison page — TV Show Tracker's own site/store listing was not independently re-checked this pass, a gap disclosed rather than smoothed over.
TV Show Tracker (by developer Jonathan ANTOINE) is Trakt-first from the ground up — Moviebase's page frames the comparison as "the same underlying Trakt records," viewed through two different interfaces. Moviebase's page explicitly distinguishes it from TV Club, a similarly named but unrelated app — see Moviebase vs TV Club.

What they have in common

  • Both track movies and episodes, both support Trakt sync, and both surface a release calendar and streaming information.

Where they differ

Account requirement

Moviebase's Trakt connection is optional; its library works without one. TV Show Tracker requires an account to save and sync online — Trakt is the mechanism, not an add-on.

Offline and widgets

TV Show Tracker advertises offline access and widgets; Moviebase's widgets are Android-specific per this page, and Moviebase's offline behavior is its local library rather than a named "offline" feature.

Statistics

Both gate deeper statistics: Moviebase behind Premium, TV Show Tracker "Listed; check plan" — neither app's free statistics depth is fully confirmed here.

Which one, if you have to pick

  • Pick Moviebase if you want a library that doesn't require an account to use at all.
  • Pick TV Show Tracker if you're already a Trakt user and want its calendar and multi-device notifications built around that account.
  • Neither is built for more than one person's account. CouchReel's comparison pages cover the household-decision gap directly.
