Support the platform
ShowReco is free. Supporters keep it that way.
No ads, no investors, no selling your taste to anyone. Just one developer building an honest recommendation engine. Supporting is $2 a month, and only months you actually use ShowReco get charged: go quiet and the charges stop with you. Prefer prepaid? $20 buys a year of months that roll over forever.
Beta pricing · half off, applied automatically at checkout
Try it first. Supporting is something you do after ShowReco has earned it.
What supporting gets you
Unlimited chat, best model
Free covers a daily allowance on chat. Supporters get unlimited conversations, always on the strongest model.
Queue refresh on demand
Free queues rebuild on their own rhythm. Supporters rebuild whenever they want: rate something, refresh, see it land.
It stays free for everyone
Supporter money is what keeps the free tier generous. You're not buying access; you're covering someone else's.
Where the money goes
The fixed bills come to $41 a month.
Sharing the cost of running ShowReco so everyone can see what I'm making or losing. This is a fun hobby project, not a big money-making venture. I am not selling your data (and never will).
- Movie of the Night (Starter)$39
- AWS S3 (data + covers)est.$1
- Domainest.$1
- Every month, before anyone shows up$41
A couple of those lines are marked est., which means they're a small estimate until a real bill lands. The other cost is the AI itself, which scales with use. Serving one free user runs about a penny a month, my current estimate rather than a measured bill.

What your money can never do
Supporting doesn't buy better recommendations, and affiliate money can't buy a spot in your queue; the ranking code literally cannot see who pays. That boundary is enforced by an automated test, and the firewall page shows exactly how.
