Questions about Tralr
Clear answers about what Tralr is, how it decides, and how Plus pays for itself.
A simple guide for people who want a companion that's actually on their side — about what to watch, and what to keep paying for.
What is Tralr?
Tralr is a personal streaming companion. It learns your taste from swipes, taste probes, and your watchlist, then uses it to decide what to watch tonight — and, for Plus members, which streaming services are still worth paying for this month.
What problem does Tralr solve?
Two problems: deciding what to watch (decision fatigue) and knowing whether your subscriptions are still worth it (subscription fatigue). Most tools solve one or the other. Tralr solves both from the same taste profile.
Who is Tralr for?
People who love movies and series, feel stuck deciding what to watch, and are quietly paying for at least one streaming service they've barely opened this month.
How is Tralr different from streaming platforms?
Streaming platforms recommend what keeps you on their service. Tralr works across all of them and is paid by you — so it's the only one that will tell you to cancel one.
How does Tralr work?
Tralr builds a taste profile from what you swipe, watch, and save. It uses that to pick what to watch tonight, with the reason shown, and — once a month — to audit your lineup: keep, binge and pause, or pause.
What does Tralr learn from?
Your swipes, your onboarding taste probes, and what you add to or clear from your watchlist. The more you use it, the sharper the picks and verdicts get.
Why does taste matter so much?
Because availability isn't the same as fit, and neither is a subscription's price tag. Two people can have the same five services and want completely different things — or need completely different ones.
Is Tralr another giant catalog?
No. Tralr doesn't add another library to browse. It narrows things down to a decision: what to watch, and what to keep paying for.
Does Tralr replace streaming platforms?
No. Tralr works alongside them — it just tells you, honestly, which ones still deserve your money.
Doesn't Netflix already recommend things?
Netflix recommends what keeps you on Netflix. Tralr works across all your services and tells you when to leave one — advice no platform will ever give you.
Why pay $3 for this?
Pausing one service for a single month covers about five months of Tralr — two pause verdicts a year more than pay for the annual plan.
How is this different from Rocket Money or a spreadsheet?
They see the charge on your card. Tralr sees whether the movies and shows you actually want justify it, and what to binge before you pause.
What is a streaming rotation?
A streaming rotation is the practice of pausing and resubscribing to services month to month based on what you actually want to watch, instead of keeping everything running out of habit. Tralr runs your rotation for you.
Can Tralr help even if I already have plenty to watch?
Yes. Having plenty to watch and knowing what's still worth paying for are different problems. Tralr solves both.
Does Tralr work with Plex, Stremio, or Jellyfin?
Yes. Plus syncs a personal picks list to your Trakt account, which Plex (through Kometa), Stremio, and Jellyfin all know how to read — see the setup guides at tralr.io/plex-kometa-guide and tralr.io/stremio-install.
Tralr is a personal streaming companion: it learns your taste from swipes, taste probes, and your watchlist, uses it to pick what to watch tonight with the reason shown, and — for Plus members — audits your lineup every month and tells you which services to keep, binge and pause, or pause. Plus pays for itself.
