What Doplarr and Jellyseerr are built for

Doplarr. Its page calls it an *arr request bot for Discord. [1] That is all its page says in the sources used here, so anything beyond Discord requests is worth checking before you rely on it. The table has a row on the state of its repository.

Jellyseerr. Its page describes Seerr as a free software application for managing requests for your media library. [2]

The table lists the features its page names, such as permissions, a watch list and hiding media, and a choice of where its data is stored. Read that row before you decide whether Jellyseerr covers what your household needs.

Both tools come from their own project pages, so the sources used here say nothing about how well either one performs day to day.

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. [3]

You search for a movie or show on the Askarr site and request it, and your own Radarr or Sonarr adds it. [3] You can paste a link from a movie or show listing site such as TMDB, IMDb or TVDB to find the title. [3]

Nothing is installed; you add Askarr to Radarr and Sonarr so they read your requests from it. [3] Askarr never connects to your Radarr or Sonarr and never receives their API keys. [3]

Radarr and Sonarr send a message back so the site shows when a title was added and downloaded. [3] Plans list 'Request history with live status'. [3]

You can try the dashboard with a throwaway demo account and sample data without signing up. [3]

Pricing and fees

Doplarr. No price is published in the sources used here.

Jellyseerr. Its page calls Seerr free software. [2] No other fee is published in the sources used here.

Each friend who signs up through your link adds 10 requests a month to your limit. [3]

No card fee or payment service is stated for any of the three in the sources used here, so the table marks those parts as not published.

Setting it up with your server
