Help & FAQ

Watchlistd is a place to track films and series, rate and review them, build lists, and share what you watch with a community. Films and TV are treated equally, and the essentials are free.

Open any film or series and use the buttons to mark it as Watched, add it to your Watchlist, Like it, or log it in your diary. You can also rate it and write a review from the same page.

Watchlist is for things you want to watch. Watched marks something as seen. Log adds a dated diary entry (with an optional rating) - handy for rewatches.

Yes. The core - tracking, ratings, reviews, lists, watchlist and your profile - is free forever. Pro and Plus are optional paid upgrades.

Paid plans add things like advanced analytics, custom posters, expanded watchlists and ad-free browsing. See the full breakdown on the Pro page.

Paid plans are billed yearly and you can cancel anytime - you keep the benefits until the end of your billing period. Manage or cancel your subscription from your account's billing settings.

See our refund policy for the details, then reach out from the contact page if you need help.

Verified creators can publish Posts (articles, lists and essays) and post Clips (short video reviews). Everyone can read and enjoy them - creating them is what verification unlocks.
