Here's what you can do with Nexie: - Track your favourite shows - Filter episodes by streaming provider - Browse upcoming episodes in a list or calendar - Mark episodes as watched - Catch up on earlier episodes - Archive shows without losing history - Search thousands of shows powered by TVMaze It might not have the most features, but it has all of the important ones.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Nexie at none against Series Database's shown. Nexie also leads on ratings volume (18 vs 1) and update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly). Series Database's advantage is iOS requirement (15.6 vs 27.0). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Series Database sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.49 per month and Nexie sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for Series Database against 4.9 for Nexie.
