TV Tracker vs Hobi
TV Tracker vs Hobi
Hobi and TV Tracker agree on the big thing: your watch list is yours, not a social feed. The difference is where they live and what they do past tracking. Hobi is a native phone app. TV Tracker runs in any browser and adds alerts before a show you are watching leaves streaming.
| Feature | TV Tracker | Hobi |
|---|---|---|
| Private watch list, no social feed | Yes | Yes |
| Where it runs | Any browser; add it to your home screen | iPhone and Android apps |
| Leaving Soon alerts before a show leaves streaming | Yes, on Premium | Not a core feature |
| Import your TV Time export | Yes, free | Yes |
| Other services | Imports Trakt, Simkl, and IMDb exports | Two-way sync with Trakt |
| Price | Free, or Premium at $2.99/mo | Free, with optional Premium in the app |
Hobi details are from its public site and app listings as of September 2026 and may change.
Where Hobi is stronger
Hobi has native iPhone and Android apps, push notifications for new episodes, two-way Trakt sync, and a large user base. If you want a phone app first, it is a strong choice.
Coming from TV Time
Both apps take a TV Time export. In TV Tracker, drop the JSON file into the importer and your followed shows come across with the episodes you already watched, so you land on the right next episode.
