# Compare amodb

> These pages compare amodb with other movie and TV metadata APIs. Each one lists compatibility, request limits, languages, image hosting and price with concrete numbers. amodb keeps TMDB v3 and OMDb paths, so a switch usually means a new base URL and a new key.

- [TMDB API alternative](https://amodb.dev/tmdb-api-alternative/): Need a TMDB API alternative? Check terms, limits, languages and ratings, then move to a paid API that keeps most TMDB v3 read paths and JSON. See the gaps.
- [IMDb API alternative](https://amodb.dev/imdb-api-alternative/): IMDb has no free general purpose REST API. Look up titles by IMDb id, read the IMDb rating where known and fetch cast, images and trailers from a paid JSON API.
- [OMDb API alternative](https://amodb.dev/omdb-api-alternative/): Hit the OMDb daily cap or need more than one record per call? amodb answers OMDb style requests and also serves TMDB v3 endpoints, with the same key.
- [TheTVDB API alternative](https://amodb.dev/thetvdb-api-alternative/): Compare TheTVDB with amodb for TV data. Map TVDB ids with one call, list the episode groups of a show and get movies and people with the same key.
- [Trakt API alternative](https://amodb.dev/trakt-api-alternative/): Trakt centers on user data like watch history and watchlists. amodb is a metadata API for titles, cast, images and ratings, to use beside your own user store.
- [TVmaze API alternative](https://amodb.dev/tvmaze-api-alternative/): TVmaze is a free, TV only public API with per-IP limits. Compare scope, limits and cost with amodb, a paid API for TV, movies and people in 14 languages.
- [Kinopoisk API alternative](https://amodb.dev/kinopoisk-api-alternative/): Kinopoisk publishes no general open API. Get Russian titles, Kinopoisk id lookup and the Kinopoisk score where known from a paid, TMDB v3 compatible JSON API.
- [amodb vs TMDB](https://amodb.dev/amodb-vs-tmdb/): Head to head: amodb against TMDB. See endpoint parity, the paths amodb does not offer, free versus paid terms, 14 languages, extensions and rate limits.
