Verdict
If you already know what you want to watch and just need to find it, JustWatch wins. If you do not know what to watch, QP is the right starting point — and it surfaces the same streaming availability data on every card.
Where QP wins
- Actually recommends — JustWatch only filters and lists
- Mood-based natural-language search
- Per-pick rationale explaining the fit
- Smart Watchlist with Tonight's Pick
- Taste profile that improves over time
Where JustWatch wins
- Definitive answer for "where can I stream X?"
- Deeper price tracker (rent / buy / free with ads)
- Larger regional catalog database for adjacent markets
- Web-first product if you do not want a phone app

Who should use which
Use JustWatch if…
…you usually know what you want and just need to find it. Or you are tracking rental/purchase prices.
Use Qouch Potato if…
…the question you are trying to answer is "what should I watch tonight?" — not "where can I watch X?"
Use both if…
…you switch between modes. Tonight, mood search in QP. Tomorrow, looking for a specific film, JustWatch.
