The facts published about this tool are limited to those two points. Check its project page for features, price and setup steps before you decide.

## What Askarr is built for

Askarr is made by the team that publishes this site. It is a hosted website that works with your existing Radarr and Sonarr. [^5]

You search for a movie or show on the Askarr site and request it, and your own Radarr or Sonarr adds it. [^1] You can paste a TMDB, IMDb or TVDB link to find the title. [^9]

Radarr and Sonarr report back so the site shows when a title was added and downloaded. [^10] Plans include a request history showing live status. [^11]

The Askarr site never connects to your Radarr or Sonarr and never receives their API keys. [^12] You can try the dashboard with a throwaway demo account and sample data without signing up. [^13]

## Pricing and fees

Doplarr's price is not published.

Askarr's Free plan costs $0 and allows 10 requests a month. [^4] Plus costs $3.99 a month for 50 requests a month. [^6] Pro costs $6.99 a month for unlimited requests. [^7] The Pro plan has no monthly request limit. [^8]

Each friend who signs up through your link adds 10 requests a month to your limit. [^14]

No fee from a payment service is stated for either tool, so check the available pricing or payment details of any plan you pick.

## Setting it up with your server

Doplarr's page describes it as "An *arr request bot for Discord". [^2] Check its project page for setup steps.

For Askarr, nothing is installed; you add the Askarr site to Radarr and Sonarr as a list they read requests from. [^15] You add it once, and they read your requests from it. [^16]

A bookmark you run on your Radarr or Sonarr page saves the list and webhook there for you. [^17] Once that is done, you request titles on the website and your own Radarr or Sonarr adds them. [^1]

Neither source here says how either tool connects to Plex, so check that with each project before you rely on it.
