PlayQueue vs Backloggd
Backloggd is one of the best-loved places to log the games you play — a Letterboxd-style social diary for gaming, with reviews, lists and a strong community around your gaming history.
PlayQueue takes a different angle. Instead of being games-only, it puts your games, movies and TV shows in a single backlog, adds AI-curated recommendations across all three, and is built mobile-first as an installable app. If your backlog isn’t only games, that one difference is the whole point.

Frequently asked
Is PlayQueue a Backloggd alternative?
It overlaps for games, but they aim at different things. Backloggd is a games-only social logging community; PlayQueue is a personal cross-media backlog that also covers movies and TV and adds AI-curated recommendations. If you want everything you play and watch in one place, PlayQueue fits; if you specifically want a gaming social diary, Backloggd is great at that.
Can PlayQueue track games like Backloggd does?
Yes — search and add games across platforms, set a status (backlog, playing, completed, on hold, dropped), rate them 1–10 and organize them with tags. The difference is your films and shows live in the same backlog.
Can I move my data from Backloggd into PlayQueue?
PlayQueue imports from Letterboxd, Trakt and IMDb CSVs and from a JSON backup, and you can paste any list of titles for it to match and add. There’s no one-click Backloggd importer, so games are easiest to re-add via search or a pasted list.
How much does PlayQueue cost?
PlayQueue is free for up to 50 items across games, movies and TV. PlayQueue Pro is €4.99/mo or €39.99/yr and adds AI-curated recommendations, unlimited items, episode tracking, tags and import — cancel anytime.
