A streaming guide without ads or third-party tracking

A streaming guide without ads or tracking is rarer than it sounds. Several of the bigger guides carry adverts, paywall basic information, or share data with dozens of outside vendors, and that's a different business model than the one we chose.

What's My Next has no advertising, no third-party trackers, and stores data on European servers. There's no ad-supported tier and no version with fewer trackers, because there's only one version.

What people run into elsewhere

One-star reviews of JustWatch, currently the largest streaming search app, describe adverts appearing over the content they're trying to look at, and a growing amount of the basic experience sitting behind a paywall.

Why this happens

A free app with a large userbase needs to make money somehow, and advertising plus data partnerships is the standard way to do that without charging anyone directly. It's a reasonable business model. It's just not the one we picked, and it's worth knowing which one you're using before you install something.

What we actually do instead

No advertising network is integrated into the app. No data is sold or shared with third-party vendors. Data is stored on servers in Europe, which is a stricter regime than most alternatives operate under. This is free to check yourself in the privacy policy, it isn't a marketing line.
