I use Anilist. It has a nice clean and user friendly interface. The progressive web app also works well on my device.
Anilist
I used 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.

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.
Anilist.
Using MAL because I don’t have any reason to change. Also like the older aesthetics and the ability to edit the CSS directly.
The biggest thing is being able to use decimal places in ratings. I can’t believe MAL still hasn’t added that after all these years. When I first imported my data I ended up moving a bunch of my 10s to 9.5 and so on because MAL had forced me to round up or down all the time.
Hmmm you do have a point in that. Yeah that would be a great feature!
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.
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
If you use any other tracking software, I would love to hear about it.

I moved to Anilist when MAL went down for several months a few years ago. I never looked back, its nice there.
Is there any “real” benefit to using it over MAL or anilist though? The main (and sole) public instance is riddled with more social media trackers than MAL itself.
I’ve been eyeing Ani.db, which is not open source to my knowledge but its barebones enough to not have trackers, but it doesnt work with MALsync.
Android app isn’t available for Galaxy S22+ :(
Kitsu is FOSS? Oh wow, I’d didn’t know that, guess I’ll migrate today! Thanks!
Been using Anilist ever since the MAL android app I was using went down a few years ago
I use both but I personally prefer Anilist
I switched from MAL to AniList a while back. I think it was back during the API outage, got tired of not having apps for tracking and wanted something with a more modern interface.
AniList is great, though I will say the more modern UI also made the page loading a bit more sluggish.
