If only there was dozens of services for this exact issue. this took me less than a few minutes with classic non-LLM search:

https://imdb.com

https://www.justwatch.com/

https://streamsearchup.com/

https://www.wheretowatch.stream/

https://streamfinder.co/

https://findmystreams.com/

Yeah sure. My point is that I have to leave the streaming apps and use third-party services in the first place. If finding where to watch something requires another app or website, I’d argue the ecosystem itself has a UX problem
Apple TV comes the closest, if you ignore the Netflix sized hole.
Any suggestions on which of these are usable? justwatch.com used to be amazing, but it's increasingly getting enshittified: they seem to be intentionally making their presentation _less_ clear so they can show ads for "similar content available on…" :-(
Letterboxd has this feature too, but they use JustWatch behind the scenes. I like how they implement it. I can filter a list of movies per streaming service.
iOS-only, but Callsheet (<https://callsheetapp.com>) is basically "What if the IMDB app didn't suck?" It uses TMDB as the data source. I love the interface, and it has JustWatch info built-in; I use it as my quick access link, so I now only use it to find where things are.
I moved to Reelgood.
Or the search in the middle of the screenshot that tops the article.
Have you used any of these? Most of them are awful and not useful at all. JustWatch is alright but is succumbing to enshittification.
I'm going to guess there's basically one real one and the rest are scraping it to present with more ads.
Based on comparisons at least JustWatch and ReelGood don’t share a database.
also https://werstreamt.es where the URL is probably only easy to remember for Germans
