The short answer
Cinopsys is an ad-free movie and TV tracker for Android: the app shows no ads and works without an account. Its optional tips and supporter purchases unlock only premium app icons. Moviebase, by contrast, is ad-supported and removes ads with its Premium plan.
- Cinopsys shows no ads. Its Google Play listing carries no "Contains ads" label, and the Privacy Policy lists no advertising service.
- It works without an account, so there is nothing to sign up for before you start tracking.
- Optional purchases exist: tips and supporter purchases. Per the Terms, they unlock only the premium app icons; tips unlock nothing.
- Moviebase is ad-supported; according to Moviebase, Premium removes the ads.
If you're looking for an ad-free movie tracker, the useful questions are what "ad-free" covers, how the app pays for itself, and what you'd have to buy to keep ads away. Here are the answers for Cinopsys and for the tracker people most often compare it with.
What ad-free means in Cinopsys
No ads appear anywhere in the app. Cinopsys is built by an independent developer and paid for by optional purchases: one-time tips, a Lifetime supporter purchase, and Yearly and Monthly supporter subscriptions. Everything you track works the same whether you buy anything or not; what the supporter options unlock is the set of premium app icons (see the Terms of Service).
You can also check it yourself: the Google Play listing would show a "Contains ads" label if the app carried ads, and the Privacy Policy lists the third-party services the app uses (Google Firebase, Google Play Services, the App Store, RevenueCat, and the Trakt, Simkl, MDBList, WeTrakr and TMDb APIs), and none of them is described as an advertising service.
How Moviebase handles ads
Moviebase is free to download, and according to its own FAQ, "all ads will be removed" with Moviebase Premium. Its Premium plan also unlocks viewing statistics and other extras. That is a reasonable model, but it means the ad-free experience is the paid one. See Cinopsys vs Moviebase for the full side-by-side.
Other services have their own limits. For how Simkl and Trakt treat ads on their free tiers, see TV Time alternatives, and check each app's current listing before you choose.
Ad-free and no account
Ads and sign-ups are the two things people most often want to avoid in a tracker. Cinopsys works with nothing connected: your library stays on your phone, with an optional Google Drive backup and optional sync with Trakt, Simkl, MDBList or WeTrakr. The guide to tracking without an account covers what that looks like.
If an ad-free app is your first requirement, Cinopsys on Android delivers it without a purchase. If you want an app on iPhone, iPad or Mac today, Moviebase is available there; Cinopsys is on Android, with iOS coming soon.
The verdict
Cinopsys shows no ads and works without an account, with purchases that only unlock app icons. Try it and see if it fits.
