ReelgoodStreamGuide vs Reelgood: Which Streaming Guide in 2026?: An app that's still updated, or a guide built for your TV.
Both apps start from the services you pay for. Reelgood adds TV playback and a random picker; StreamGuide is the one still shipping app updates.
The short answer
Choose StreamGuide if…
- you want a phone app that is still being updated, with release alerts on Premium
- you want subscription, rent and buy options kept apart on every title
The trade-off: no TV remote or random picker; the free version shows ads, and release alerts and an unlimited watchlist need Premium.
Choose Reelgood if…
- you use the Reelgood website or an Apple TV and want a free guide with no in-app purchases
- you like its Roulette random picker and its remote that plays on Roku, Android, Fire and LG TVs
The trade-off: its apps haven’t been updated since September 2024 on iOS and March 2022 on Android, and it covers 5 countries.
What sets them apart
Reelgood and StreamGuide both let you choose the services you subscribe to and browse what's available on them. Reelgood builds its own availability database, runs a website and an Apple TV app, and can send a title to a nearby TV. Its phone apps, though, have not been updated in years. StreamGuide shows JustWatch's availability data through TMDB in an app that is still updated; with Premium it alerts you to new episodes and to titles arriving on your services.
