#media catalog Startups & Tools

Tracking streaming availability across regions has become increasingly fragmented as content rights vary by market and platforms constantly shift their catalogs. PlatformTrack addresses this by maintaining a regularly updated database that indexes where specific titles are available across multiple services and geographic regions. The product targets both casual viewers trying to find where to watch a film and developers building applications that need programmatic access to streaming metadata. The service covers 17 streaming platforms and monitors 57 countries, aggregating over 2.3 million title records into a searchable interface. Netflix appears as the most geographically distributed service, available across all 57 tracked countries with a catalog of over 476,000 titles, while regional services like Shahid VIP maintain more limited but still substantial coverage. The data refreshes weekly, providing users with relatively current information rather than stale snapshots that plague many streaming aggregators. What distinguishes PlatformTrack from simpler directory approaches is both its breadth and its accessibility layers. The browsable leaderboard reveals which countries have the deepest streaming ecosystems—the United States leads with 14 platforms offering 239,000+ titles—while allowing users to investigate how specific titles rank by popularity across the ecosystem. This intelligence appeals to viewers trying to understand regional content availability and to analysts assessing market penetration by platform. The product explicitly offers an API for developers, acknowledging that raw data access is valuable for building downstream applications. This transforms PlatformTrack from a consumer directory into potential infrastructure for other startups and platforms. The regular refresh cadence provides justification for subscription or API-tier pricing models, though the company does not disclose specific pricing structures in its public materials. One limitation worth noting: while the platform claims coverage across 57 countries and dozens of services, the depth remains uneven—seven countries show seven or fewer platforms, and platforms like YouTube Premium have surprisingly sparse data. Still, for makers and viewers in major markets, the breadth of coverage and structured access to availability data fills a genuine gap in the streaming ecosystem.
