The pandemic has been very unkind to us, but even before that, we had plenty of things to stress us out. Work, deadlines, exams, and what not!
A simple and universal solution to getting rid of our everyday tensions is sitting down with your loved ones and watching a nice show or movie.
But it’s not easy to find this entertainment for free. All the major platforms like Netflix, Hulu, HBO Max require a minimum payment to be able to access their content.
Now, what do you do if you don’t want to pay for these but still want to revel in the warmth of a cozy night? That’s right, you Flixtor it!
What was Flixtor, and Why Did it Shut Down?
Flixtor was a free-for-all platform to discover and watch the latest movies and tv shows on. Think of it as a Netflix subscription …. but without the hassle of paying!
But in 2016 it was acquired by Fandango which began shifting the users to its own streaming site consequently closing the video service.
7 Best Flixtor Alternatives in 2023
But don’t worry, this doesn’t mean you’ll have to give in to the various subscriptions available. We have put together a list of the 7 best alternatives to Flixtor.
That are not only free but also have a huge library of numerous shows and movies. Read on to find out which one to use for your next binge session.

1. MoviesJoy
As the first alternative, MoviesJoy is obviously a free platform with absolutely zero ads. Aside from being a very easy site to navigate.
It also has a “search” option using which you can quickly and easily browse through your preferred genre. With streaming quality from CAM to 1080p, it is fast and offers a wide range of titles.
The only real downside to it is there is no option to turn off the subtitles but hey, if you’re a person with a short attention span like me, you’re not going to want to disable them anyways.
2. Yahoo View
Don’t want to use an illegal site to give in to your binge cravings? No worries. Yahoo View is a legal platform that offers hundreds and hundreds of titles with no fear of violating any laws.
In addition to having a built-in video player, it also allows you to watch trailers of any upcoming movie or show.
Designed to serve as a second Flixtor, the interface is incredibly simple and it also adjusts your video quality according to your internet connection. Very much like YouTube, don’t you think?
Another reason why Yahoo View is so loved is that it has a “download” feature. So, the next time you want to watch the latest update of your favorite shoe on the subway, you know Yahoo View has your back.
3. Tubi TV
You must have heard of this already, it’s very popular. Besides having a vast library with thousands of different kinds of TV shows, movies, specials, etc.
Tubi TV also has Android and iOS apps which give it a major advantage over other sites.Not only is the content very neatly sorted and categorized into different genres like horror, comedy, action, etc.
But the interface is also super easy to use. For these reasons, Tubi TV is loved and considered much more stable than its counterparts.
4. Look Movie
If you love no ads and fast updates then this is the site for you. But what if English isn’t your preferred language? Look Movie has still got you covered.
With regular updates and content with subtitles available in multiple languages, it’s a really good alternative.
However, if you like tv shows, you might want to consider the other options in this list as this is purely a movie haven. From classics to the latest hits, you will find thousands of movies here.
As for the quality, Look Movie doesn’t compromise on it. It offers you only the highest so make sure your internet is stable enough to avoid any buffering.
An additional feature on this platform is that you can read a brief summary of the title and see if you are interested in it or not. This, I’ve found from personal experience, can be very convenient.
5. Popcorn Time
A very popular alternative, Popcorn Time is an application that works just as smoothly as any of its website equivalents.
Available for Windows, iOS, Linux, and Android, this offers you an enormous collection of movies and shows downloaded from popular torrents.
All you need to do is download the app on any device, open it, select the title you want to watch as well as the preferred video quality, and it will literally do everything else.
Popcorn Time runs so efficiently that even though it’s not a site, it deserved to make it to this list.
6. SubsMovies
If you are ever worried about potentially harming your device’s software or risking your privacy, this is what you’re looking for. SubsMovies takes data privacy very seriously and thus ensures that the media is played on its own website.
This also prevents you from accidentally visiting any third-party sites or redirects to watch the media on.Armed with a very efficient interface, it organizes the media by the source and video quality.
Furthermore, you can enable or disable subtitles. But it doesn’t end there! SubsMovies lets you select a particular caption and translate it into your native/preferred language.
Languages don’t have to be a barrier to entertainment ad I think SubsMovies believes that.
7. PopcornFlix
Last but not least we have on our list one of the oldest streaming platforms that offers an amazing collection. Unlike some sites, there is no registration required here.
So, you can start watching your favorite show or movie in just two clicks!A rather average alternative, PopcornFlix offers decent service compared to other sites. For this reason, it is still so popular.
Aside from having all the notable titles, this site also has some independent media, making it truly different from its competitors.
