My MoviesMoviebase vs My Movies: Track what you watch, or catalog what you own?
Compare a record of what you watch with an inventory of the films and editions you own.
The short answer
Choose Moviebase if…
- you want to track viewing and ongoing TV progress
- you want an optional Trakt connection
The trade-off: Viewing statistics and ad removal require Moviebase Premium. App-specific records from another service may not transfer.
Choose My Movies if…
- you want barcode scanning and edition-level cover information
- you need a loan tracker and household inventory
The trade-off: My Movies platform purchases and collection limits differ; verify the edition you intend to use.
