About StreamScout

Streaming is supposed to make watching films easier. Instead, we have got 15+ services, constantly shifting catalogues, and no easy way to know where something is available - or whether you are about to pay for something you could watch for free.

I used to work for a VPN company, so I know firsthand how powerful they can be for unlocking content. But what frustrated me was the slog of actually finding something to watch. You would have to open Netflix, scroll around, not find anything. Then Prime. Then Disney+. Then maybe check if it is on iPlayer. By the time you have found what you want, half your evening is gone.

StreamScout takes that pain away. Fancy watching Frasier tonight? Search for it, see exactly where it is streaming in seconds, and you are away. No more trawling through every app hoping to get lucky.

The VPN trick nobody talks about

Here is something most people do not realise: US streaming services like Tubi, Pluto TV, and Peacock have massive free libraries - tens of thousands of movies and shows, completely free with ads.

The catch? They are US-only. But with a VPN, you can access them from the UK for around £3.99/month. That is less than the cost of a single rental.

From my time in the VPN industry, I know these tools are not just for privacy nerds - they are genuinely useful for anyone who wants to get more out of their streaming. StreamScout shows you when something is free in the US, so you can make an informed choice about whether a VPN is worth it for you.

How we make money

StreamScout is free to use. We earn a commission when you sign up for services like NordVPN through our links. This does not affect our recommendations - we always show free options first, whether we earn from them or not.
