Thank You — TV Time versus Trakt
Compare	Thank You — TV Time	Trakt
Verdict	Skip	Depends
Best for	Existing users exporting watch history	Plex/Kodi/Emby scrobblers
Who it's not for	Anyone picking a TV tracker today	Casual viewers tracking a few shows
Privacy	No known public vulnerabilities found in the sources reviewed.¹⁰	Shaky record: 2014 breach disclosed years late, user-reported private feed-data exposure, and no public security page found.
Support quality	No quality evidence, only a support handle	No reliable evidence found
Public sentiment	Users are mourning the shutdown, praising the community it built while admitting the interface was raw.	Long-time power users value the scrobbling ecosystem, but many feel recent pricing and feature changes gutted the free tier.¹⁴
Biggest gotcha	All data likely inaccessible after July 15, 2026 . export your watch history now if you can^²	VIP renewal pricing jumped to $60/year effective June 2025 . double the old rate¹³
