I built a free site that shows where any movie or show streams in 60+ countries
I kept searching for a movie and finding out it wasn’t on anything where I live. Streaming catalogs change a lot by country, and most “where to watch” sites mainly cover the US. So I built FlickFinder. What it does Type a movie or show and it lists every streaming platform that has it, and which countries it’s available in. It covers 60+ countries, it’s free, and there’s no sign up. How I built…

A man named <name1> has created a free website called FlickFinder that shows where any movie or TV show can be streamed in over 60 countries. Streaming platforms change frequently depending on the country, and most "where to watch" sites mainly focus on the United States. FlickFinder aims to address this issue by providing a comprehensive list of streaming services for any given title across numerous countries, all without requiring users to sign up.
The website obtains its streaming data from TMDB (The Movie Database) and was developed with assistance from Claude, an AI tool that helped overcome challenges during the creation process. FlickFinder is completely free to use.
One of the key takeaways from FlickFinder is the significant variation in movie and show availability between countries. For example, the film "Unabomber" is available on Netflix in 131 countries but not in any others, while "Backrooms" is only accessible on Max in four countries and on Prime Video in Canada. The constantly evolving nature of streaming catalogs means that a website providing accurate information today may quickly become outdated.
The creator of FlickFinder is seeking feedback from users to improve the site. Potential areas for improvement include identifying confusing elements and suggesting missing features. The website can be accessed at <website_link>.
