If you use any other tracking software, I would love to hear about it.

I used to use MAL through the MyAniList app (not to be confused with MAL) but switched to AniList during the api outage in 2018. Nowadays I mainly track manga and anime automatically through tachiyomiJ2K and aniyomi respectively so I don't interact directly with AniList much, apart from browsing upcoming anime and discovering other series from writers, seiyuus, mangakas etc.

I use AniList. I also have automatic tracking in Tachiyomi and on my Jellyfin server through a plugin. There's also a browser addon for that called MAL-Sync, which I used before. Without automatic tracking I'd be too lazy or forget to update my progress.

I've been using MAL, but it's just until I find a good replacement. And by "good" I mean that data is stored locally, like the one from All Mangas Reader.

started using anilist during that time MAL went down in 2018; liked the sleek interface, the choice in rating systems, the GraphQL API... i transfered my data over and never looked back.

I use anime-planet, just because it was the first thing I found back in the day and I'm not switching now. The scoring systems is a bit limited, using the five stars (essentially just 1-10). I do like the simple design, makes it very clear where everything is, and your profile has a nice big overview of how much of your life you have wasted :D

I use Anilist because the iOS App is great

I primary used MAL for tracking, because people recommend this site for tracking all anime and anime episodes.

I used to use MAL but switched to AL when MAL wasn't listing a lot of Korean webtoons that I was reading since the start of the pandemic.

Anilist.

I use both, if MAL is down there is always Anilist to keep my episodes tracked.

I use both Anime-Planet and MAL.

I joined Anime-Planet one time MAL had an outage, I think. Both sites have their advantages. A-P has a very rich database of tags, for both anime and characters, and also has a personal feed history that stretches back way longer than MAL's does. On the other hand, MAL includes metadata fields for when I started/finished watching something, and has some third-party sites that integrate with it, such as anime.plus, which I use to see stats on how much I've watched and when and how I've rated things.

So, for now, I just use both at the same time.

I once tried Kitsu, back when it was called Hummingbird, but I wasn't very satisfied with it. Haven't ever tried AniList or AniDB.

I moved my account from MAL to Kitsu.io a while back, and I quite like it. More flexible reviews, better UI — plus it’s open-source.

I use a FOSS alternative to MAL, kitsu.io

I use MyAnimeList, but I'm actually going to attempt to write my own soon enough using Laravel and Vue. I was planning on starting this week, but I've been completely knocked out with a viral infection, so I dunno when I will start on it, but I do plan on working on it at some point even though I seem to keep delaying it it's still something I really want lol.

Using MAL because I don't have any reason to change. Also like the older aesthetics and the ability to edit the CSS directly.

Anilist plus taiga. Moved from mal do to it going down for like 2 weeks a couple years back. I can't remember why it went down but I fully converted to anilist because of it.
