Iseenit vs Trakt: Which Media Tracker Fits You Best?
A closer look at two very different approaches to tracking what you watch — and whether you also read.
About Both Apps
Trakt
Trakt is a movie and TV tracking service built for automation. Connect it to Plex, Kodi, Emby, or other media centers and it scrobbles what you watch automatically, no manual logging required. It has a public API that powers a large ecosystem of third-party apps and scripts, plus an optional VIP subscription for extras like unlimited history and an ad-free web experience. Trakt doesn't track books.
Iseenit
Iseenit takes a different approach: track movies, TV series, and books all in one app, add titles in seconds with photo search or by pasting a messy reading list for AI to sort out, and get personalized recommendations based on your own library. It also offers family sharing for two accounts and a beautiful Year in Review — free to start, with an optional Premium upgrade.
Key Differences
Automation versus an all-in-one library — here's how the two compare.
All Your Media in One Place
Trakt covers movies and TV shows only. Iseenit tracks movies, TV series, and books together, so readers who also watch films and shows don't need a separate app for their bookshelf.

Automation vs Manual Tracking
Trakt
Connects to Plex, Kodi, Emby, and other media centers to log what you watch automatically, no taps required.
Iseenit
No scrobbling, but adding titles is fast: snap a cover with photo search, or paste an entire messy list and let AI import recognize and add every title.
Family Sharing
Iseenit
Share one library between two accounts, so you and a partner can see what's already been watched or read.
Trakt
Built around a single personal watch history; there's no combined family library.
AI Recommendations
Iseenit suggests movies, series, and books based on your own library, learning your taste across every format.
Trakt's recommendations lean on your watch history and community stats rather than a cross-format taste profile, and don't extend to books.
Platform Availability
Iseenit
iOS app (iPhone and iPad), available in 16 languages.
Trakt
Web-first, with a public API that powers third-party apps across Android, iOS, and media centers.

Why Choose Iseenit?
Track Books Too
Trakt is movies and TV only. If you also want your reading in the same place, Iseenit keeps your books alongside everything you watch.
No Media Center Required
Trakt shines when it's wired into Plex, Kodi, or Emby. If you don't run a media center, Iseenit's photo search and AI list import make adding titles just as fast, without any setup.
Family Sharing
Connect with a partner to see a combined library. Perfect for couples deciding what to watch or read together — something a single-user watch history can't do.
Free to Start
Track up to 50 titles for free. Premium unlocks unlimited tracking, family sharing, and AI recommendations.
When Trakt Might Be Better
Deep Scrobbling & Automation
If you run Plex, Kodi, or Emby, Trakt's automatic scrobbling is hard to beat — your watch history logs itself in the background with no manual entry at all.
A Public API and Third-Party Ecosystem
Trakt's API powers a large ecosystem of unofficial apps, browser extensions, and scripts, giving power users far more ways to plug their watch history into other tools.
Cross-Platform Access
Between the website and third-party apps, Trakt data is reachable from Android, web browsers, smart TVs, and media centers. Iseenit is currently iOS-only.
