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

Anilist after the MAL hack a few years back. Nice aesthetics are a plus for sure
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.
If you use any other tracking software, I would love to hear about it.
Been using Anilist ever since I went on the hunt for an android app with a decent UI. Otraku is what I use now
I use both but I personally prefer Anilist
