klieg vs Trakt
Trakt is the plumbing of TV tracking: scrobbling from Plex and Kodi, a huge API, and a calendar of what airs when. If you want a tracker that other apps feed automatically, Trakt is hard to beat. klieg is built around a different question — not "what have I watched?" but "what should I watch tonight?" — and it uses what you hated to answer it.
What Trakt does better
- Automatic scrobbling from Plex, Kodi and dozens of apps; an API many other tools build on.
- A calendar of upcoming episodes across everything you follow.
- VIP is cheap and the free tier tracks without limits.
