JustWatch, the service that helps users find where movies are streaming, has launched its own platform called JustWatch TV. It offers a selection of free, ad-supported films alongside rentals, plus an ad-free subscription priced at $4 a month or $50 for a lifetime plan that a company spokesperson said would only be available for a limited time.
JustWatch, previously known as a search engine for finding titles on other platforms, has launched JustWatch TV, its own streaming service, in 12 markets including the US, UK, Canada, France, Italy and Australia. The service offers a free ad-supported tier, a $3.99/month ad-free JustWatch TV Plus tier with over 300 titles, and a rental store available initially in five countries, with content from 30 partners including Paramount, Fremantle and New Regency.
A tech guide identifies seven free streaming services offering both on-demand libraries and live, cable-like channel surfing, all available as apps on most major smart TV platforms. These services are ad-supported, meaning viewers get content at no cost but must sit through commercial breaks.
JustWatch, best known as a guide for finding where to stream content, announced at the Toronto International Film Festival that it will launch its own platform called JustWatch TV in October. The service will offer three tiers: a free ad-supported option, rental/purchase titles, and a paid ad-free subscription, with initial content from Fremantle, Paramount and Bleecker Street. It will launch across the US, UK, Canada, and several European and Oceania markets, with plans to expand further.
