JustWatch Launches Its Own Streaming Service

JustWatch is moving beyond helping viewers find what to watch. The popular streaming search guide, used by 50 million people, is launching a streaming service of its own. The new offering brings together movies and shows, giving users another way to watch through the platform they already use to search across streaming options.

The service is launching with several ways to access content: a free, ad-supported option, a $3.99-per-month ad-free tier, and movie rentals. These choices give viewers different ways to use JustWatch’s new service, whether they prefer to watch with ads, pay for an ad-free experience, or rent a movie. The launch marks a new role for JustWatch: alongside serving as a streaming search guide, it will also offer streaming content directly.

Free, Ad-Supported Movies and Shows

JustWatch’s new streaming service offers movies and shows for free, with advertising supporting the viewing experience. That gives viewers a way to watch content on the service without paying a monthly subscription fee, while ads are included as part of the free offering. The service’s lineup includes both movies and shows, though the available information does not specify particular titles or how often the selection changes.

The free, ad-supported option is one part of JustWatch’s broader streaming offering. Viewers who would rather watch without ads can choose a separate $3.99-per-month tier, and movie rentals are also available. For those exploring the service, the free option provides an opportunity to watch its movies and shows without a monthly charge, in exchange for viewing advertisements. JustWatch is known as a streaming search guide used by 50 million people; it is now extending its offering with a service that combines free, ad-supported viewing with paid options.

A $3.99 Monthly Ad-Free Tier

For viewers who would rather watch without ads, JustWatch’s new streaming service offers a paid option alongside its free, ad-supported movies and shows. Subscribers can choose an ad-free tier costing $3.99 per month. It gives viewers a way to access the service without advertising, while the free option remains available for those who are comfortable with ads.

The monthly price puts the ad-free choice at a clear, fixed cost: $3.99 each month. That distinguishes it from the free, ad-supported offering and gives subscribers another way to use JustWatch’s streaming service. The service also offers movie rentals, so the ad-free tier is one part of a broader set of viewing options. Viewers considering the paid plan can weigh the monthly fee against the free option and decide which better suits how they want to watch.

Movie Rentals Also Available

Alongside its free, ad-supported movies and shows and its $3.99-per-month ad-free tier, JustWatch’s new service also offers movie rentals. That gives viewers another option beyond watching titles through the service’s free or paid streaming offerings: they can rent movies as well. The source announcement does not provide details about which movies are available to rent, rental prices, or how long a rental lasts. It also does not specify whether rentals are included with the monthly ad-free tier or are offered separately. What it does make clear is that rentals are part of the service’s offering, alongside both subscription choices. For viewers considering JustWatch’s new platform, movie rentals are therefore an additional way to access films, distinct from the free, ad-supported selection and the ad-free monthly plan. The announcement describes the service as combining streaming options with rentals, without giving further information about the rental catalogue or terms.
