Popcornflix is an OTT service offering free ad-supported streaming video of feature-length movies, webisodes, original content, and film school originals.

The service is completely free, however, ads run every 15 minutes and last a minimum of 30 seconds long. Some content is available to rent ad-free for $0.99.

The platform is owned by Screen Media Ventures. In 2017, Popcornflix and its parent company were acquired by Chicken Soup for the Soul Entertainment.
