How FlickFinder works

Streaming catalogues are different in every country. A show can be on Netflix in the UK, on Max in the US, and nowhere at all in Australia. FlickFinder checks them all for you in one search.

1. Search any movie or show

Start typing a title and pick it from the list. There's no account and nothing to install.

2. See where it's streaming, country by country

We check subscription streaming services in 85 countries at once: Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+, Max, Apple TV, Hulu, Peacock, Paramount+, Starz and hundreds of local services. Each one shows how many countries carry the title and exactly which ones.

3. Decide what to watch, or what to subscribe to

Use it to check whether a service you already pay for has something, compare services before signing up, or see what's available before you move or travel abroad.

Frequently asked questions

Is FlickFinder free?

Yes, completely. There's no sign-up. The site is supported by ads and an affiliate link, which never change what we show as available.

Where does the streaming data come from?

Availability comes from TMDB's watch-provider data, powered by JustWatch, and is refreshed regularly. Catalogues change often, so it's worth double-checking on the service itself before you subscribe.

Why is a title on a service in one country but not another?

Streaming rights are usually licensed country by country. A studio might sell a film to Netflix in one market and to a local broadcaster in another, so the same service can have a very different library depending on where you are.

Does FlickFinder show rentals and purchases?

No. We focus on subscription streaming, meaning titles you can watch on a service you already pay for, without paying extra per title.
