JustWatch has a multitude of options, but the ideal thing to be able to take advantage of them all is sign in with an account, prior registration on the platform if we had not already done so. One of the options to discover content is add which platforms we have (or the ones we want to use to view content) so that multiple options focused on these platforms appear.
For this we just have to add them by clicking the + button that we will find when logging in at the top of the web. It also differentiates between platforms by subscription, free ones and even if we rent or buy movies. Each platform will be available in its appropriate section.
In section Start will show us a summary of everything that is on the streaming platforms, such as the most viewed series or the content recently added to the different platforms. Can expand information by clicking on each one of them. Another option to see all the new content that has been added to date is to click on New In the options at the top, in this section we will find every day all the titles that have been added to the platforms that we have as favorites. If we do click on just one of the platformsit will show us the content added only on that platform.
In section New we can also filter by various factors, such as Movie or Series, year of release, genre, price, rating, country of production, duration, and age rating. In this way we can adapt the content to our preferences. Some options have also been reserved for users with pro subscriptionwhich has a cost of 2.49 euros per month in exchange for expanding these features and removing advertising.
Another option that it offers us is sort by popularityaccessing the section Popular On the web we can see more than 17,000 titles ordered by this characteristic. In addition, it also allows sort by other factors such as Trending, Random, Alphabetical, Release Year, TMDB Popularity or IMDB Ranking.

From this same section that are shown all series availablewe have the option of quickly add one to our Watchlist. We just have to click on the link icon that is just above, we can also mark as I like or dislike this series and in the case of movies, mark it as seen. When adding a series to the Watchlist, it will ask us if we have seen anything from it, and in that case mark the episodes or seasons that we have seen.
So it is also possible to perform this quick action from anywhere on the webwhenever we see a cover of a movie or series and we pass the mouse over it, these options will appear.

Then you just have to update your JustWatch Watchlist to have it sorted and the following month choose another (or the same platform if you are interested in continuing to watch series and/or movies from this one).
Besides by platform, also we can filter by a large number of features that will help us find the ideal content right away.
Save something by choosing just one platform
In this way you will not have to have all platforms active month by month. So you can choose one by one each month to have only one of them active, leaving the rest for successive months.
We can see all on the same platformeven if the subscription lasts several months, as they have no permanence We will not have to abide by a minimum of months subscribed. We can also take advantage one-off subscription offers of the different platforms, or spend some time watching free content to save as much as possible.
thanks to one good planning we can stop paying for subscriptions that, on some occasions, we even do not use for a whole month.
