JustWatch Now Streams Movies Itself for $4 a Month

JustWatch has been your go-to guide for finding which streaming service has the movie you want. Now, it's launching its own service, JustWatch TV, with free movies (with ads) and a paid ad-free option. Think of it like a small, curated library that fills gaps left by Netflix and others — but don't expect blockbusters.

The free tier includes movies like Green Room and Sing Sing that aren't free elsewhere, and you can watch without even creating an account. If you hate ads, you can pay $4 per month or a one-time $50 for lifetime access — but that deal won't last long. The library has only a few hundred titles, so it's not a Netflix replacement. However, at that price, it could be a nice supplement if you're cutting costs.

JustWatch's real goal is to boost its advertising business by gathering more data on what you watch. With 50 million users already, it hopes to reach 100 million monthly users. For you, that means more targeted ads, but also a potentially useful service that helps you discover hard-to-find movies. The catch: the library is limited and somewhat dated, so check if your favorite films are there before subscribing.
