About TrailerTap
We built TrailerTap because we know the feeling: you see an incredible trailer for a movie or show, get excited about it, and then... life happens. By the time it releases, you've completely forgotten about it.
Our mission is simple: Never let you miss a release you were genuinely excited about.
What TrailerTap Does
TrailerTap uses advanced AI technology to identify movies and TV shows from trailers you encounter in the wild—whether you're watching on your phone, browsing social media, or catching previews at home. Here's how it works:
- Audio Recognition: Capture 10-30 seconds of a trailer's audio and we'll identify it using speech-to-text and AI pattern matching
- Screenshot Capture: Snap a screenshot of any trailer frame and our vision AI will analyze it to identify the content
- Social URL Parsing: Paste a link from TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, Twitter/X, or Facebook and we'll extract the metadata and identify the trailer
Smart Reminders & Calendar Integration
Once we identify a trailer, we don't just tell you what it is—we help you remember when it comes out:
- Get an instant email with ticket links if it's already in theaters
- Receive a day-before reminder email for upcoming releases with direct links to buy tickets (Fandango, Atom Tickets) or stream it
- Add releases to your Google Calendar with one tap
How We Make Money
TrailerTap is free to use with unlimited trailer identifications. We support the platform through:
- Affiliate partnerships: When you buy movie tickets through our links (Fandango, Atom Tickets), we may earn a small commission at no cost to you
- Display advertising: We show non-intrusive ads via Google AdSense for free users
- Premium subscriptions: Optional ad-free experience for $0.99–$2.99/month (Gold and Platinum tiers)
