Registered users can rate movies, find recommended films based on their personal ratings, create any kind of movie lists and – in the Spanish version – write reviews. The site also includes information about contents of the main streaming services, such as Netflix, HBO, Movistar+, Filmin and Rakuten TV. This feature is currently{{when|date=April 2023}} limited to Netflix in the English version.

It has been noted that FilmAffinity users tend to rate films more severely than IMDb users, resulting in consistently lower average scores.{{Cite web|url=https://www.vice.com/es/article/imdb-vs-filmaffinity-peliculas-cine/|website=Vice|title=Filmaffinity Vs.

The site has 3 million unique users in Spain, which accounts for 70% of its total traffic, and serves more than 47 million pages per month worldwide. Advertisements are the site's only income, totaling roughly €500,000 annually.{{Cite news|url=http://www.elespanol.com/economia/empresas/20170623/225978152_0.html |title=Filmaffinity: así crearon dos jóvenes el negocio detrás de la mayor base de datos de cine en español |work=El Español|access-date=2017-07-23|language=es}}
