Movie Planner vs Kinopoisk: a film database, not a streamer

18 July 2026

If you remember a title and want a real film card — poster, plot, facts, rating, watchlist — that is Movie Planner. We build a film database product for Russia, not a second video player and not a “companion” to someone else’s streaming app.

Kinopoisk today is primarily a streaming product: subscription, play button, its own storefront. When you need a full title card and a personal library — that is a different job. Compare the products on that axis.

Comparison axes

• Why you open the app. Need a film card and your library — Movie Planner. Need online streaming — Kinopoisk HD.
• Title page quality. Movie Planner bets on posters, descriptions, facts, cast, and your library status as the core product.
• Personal layer. Watchlist, watched, ratings, series progress, group plans, AI screenshot search — on top of the database.
• Search habit. Goal: when a title pops into your head, open Movie Planner first.

Movie Planner

• film and series database with search and rich cards;
• personal library — statuses, ratings, notes;
• series tracker and new-episode alerts;
• watch plans and groups;
• web cabinet, iOS, Android, Chrome extension.

We do not compete for a video subscription. We compete for the habit of opening a film database.
