Our take

ShortMax is one of the fastest-growing entrants, with an aggressively expanding multi-language catalog aimed at a global audience. New-user promotions are strong, so your first week can be nearly free. The catalog skews toward translated titles so quality varies, but the breadth — especially in revenge and rebirth — is impressive. Worth installing for titles the bigger two don't carry.

Pros

  • Rapidly expanding catalog
  • Multiple language dubs
  • Frequent promotions for new users
  • Good selection of revenge and rebirth titles

Cons

  • Translation quality varies by title
  • Heavier ad load on the free tier
  • Discovery can feel cluttered
