Berlin-based company JustWatch launched in South Africa this week and already has 10 000 local users.
JustWatch is a streaming search engine that helps users find where movies and TV shows are available online to watch legally.
The service is already available in the US, UK, Canada, Germany, Brazil, Australia and New Zealand, and has over five million users worldwide.
"JustWatch works by aggregating the offers of the most important streaming providers per country by automatically crawling their catalogues, or via a direct feed, or API at least once a day," says David Croyé, one of the founders and CEO of JustWatch.
"We then aggregate all this data and match it together, so that our users can filter by genres, release year, ratings, price, streaming providers, etc, and search across all providers at once."
At the moment, the service searches Netflix, ShowMax, DSTV's BoxOffice, iTunes and Mubi in South Africa − with Google Play to follow soon.
