Looking for a free Teleparty alternative? WatchSocial gives you everything Teleparty Premium charges for at no cost - and adds watch parties, community timestamps and a custom dashboard on top. Teleparty syncs playback and adds a chat box - and locks most streaming services, the iOS app and video chat behind Teleparty Premium. WatchSocial does synced watch parties too, free on the major services, and is also a full tracker and social community.

Yes. A free browser extension marks episodes watched on Netflix, Disney+, Max, Prime and Hulu, and you can connect Plex, Jellyfin or Emby to auto-track from your own media server.
No. The full tracker is free. WatchSocial only charges for net-new extras that Teleparty does not offer at all, such as the customizable dashboard and publishing your own articles - never for the core tracking.
