TV Time shut down on July 15, 2026
Let us say it at once: on film, Letterboxd has no equivalent, and this comparison will not pretend otherwise. It exists for one question only — the one asked by someone who also watches TV.
Checked on August 15, 2026
| Criterion | Letterboxd | WatchTrail |
|---|---|---|
| What it covers | Films. A few limited series are loggable as a single entry, the catalogue coming from TMDB | TV and film in the same library |
| Episode-by-episode tracking | No — TV support has been announced since 2023, and still was in 2026 | Yes, with the watch date |
| Price | Free account; Pro around $20 a year, Patron $49 a year | Free, no ads |
| Advertising | Present on the free account, removed by the Pro subscription | None, at any tier |
| Extended universes | — | MCU, Star Wars, DC checklists — films and shows in the same list |
If film is all you care about, stay with them. We have neither their community nor their years of review archives, and pretending otherwise would be ridiculous.
WatchTrail exists for the mixed case: TV and film in one library, one total time, one history — plus extended universes, where a film and a show tick off in the same list. Our community is young, and on writing they are years ahead of us.
It has been announced since the 2023 acquisition, and still was in 2026. We will not speculate on someone else's roadmap.
Yes, and many do: Letterboxd to write about film, WatchTrail to track everything in one place.
Yes: the official Letterboxd export is recognised as is by our importer.
Whatever tool you pick, check that it takes your TV Time export — and how. On WatchTrail, every show is matched by its ID, not by its title.
