Stremio vs Kodi: Which Streaming App is Better in 2026?

Love Kodi because of the developers of those add ons

1000% TRUE. Trying to keep KODI up and running became such a hassle. I believe that I learned about BeeTV and CinemaHD from @TROYPOINT . Once I tried them, I dropped KODI immediately and never regretted it. Eventually, I learned about Xtreme and loved it for the past 3 years. @TROYPOINT was right about Exodus and Covenant being hugely popular when KODI was on top.

why do stemio cutoff sometime on my Oon device?

That, unfortunately, is an impossible question to answer without proper details. What make and model of device. What exactly are you doing when this happens? Is there an error code? What have you tried to fix your issue? More info please.

Thats my thoughts also. Kodi is reliable and if you like you can change the skin.

I don’t really care about the skins on Kodi (although I detest the estuary skin). I used Kodi for 5 years, and then Cinema/Stremio for 5 years. With all the issues Stremio is having right now, I tried Kodi again but it’s slow and the available addons are pretty worthless without Real Debrid. So it’s back to Cinema for the foreseeable future!

I love streamio and I love kodi with umbrella. But I’m surprised nobody’s mentioned syncler. I’ve been using it now a couple of months and i’m sold on it. Get the plus plan.I think it’s fantastic

Then what am I missing because streamio not working fast and I can’t get movies I’m looking for aren’t even on there and the crew has every football game on that I wanna watch and right now on coalition I’m watching. Is this thing on a new release? I can’t even see it and streamio

Stremio doesn’t do live TV well. For that I use TiVimate. PM me what movies you are searching for and I will have a look and see what add-ons have it.

I have tried to get stremio working and I have followed step by step instructions on 2 times on Troy point. I love kodi and hope it doesn’t go away.

I started streaming with Kodi 16, when my son had shown me how to install it. Then I found Troypoint & he explained things in simple, beginner streamer talk. I found Kodi ā€œprettyā€ with the skins, but extremely laborious installing add-ons & after installing, then the multiple, time eating steps to get what I wanted to see with buffering a main part of the package. I thought there had to better easier APKs & Troypoint turned me on to Bee TV, Cinema, FlixVision & many others. Then I saw on a search, ā€œIs Kodi dead?ā€, & a video on how to install Stremio. At that point, I was finished with Kodi 19. Simple to install & ā€œthis is the best partā€, I went to install Stremio on a new Firestick, put my info in and there it ALL was, every Add-on that was previously installed. No re-installing anything. I still use FilmRise, Cinema & FlixVision on Google Onn. Firestick is gradually being phased out as the APKs become unusable. When the other APKs come up short, Stremio is what usually gets me what I want.

After years of use I can honestly say I never have major issues with Stremio and there simply isn’t anything I want to watch that I haven’t been able to.

Stremio. No royalty, just plain honest service with quality. Who needs a crown.

Tried KODI several times over the years - never really liked it. Tried Stremio 4 months ago and really liked it due to the minimalist interface, especially recently with some of the new add ons.

RIP KODI, please.

I’m a Hallmark movie watcher. I find them mostly on CinemaHD. Stremio hasn’t rendered me consistant results. I use both Cinema and Stremio daily. Stremio is definitely my 1st choice for tv series. All in all I’m happy to have free streaming. Lol, don’t care which commercial free app I use :grin::grin::grin:

LOL there was a Poll done here recently and KODI by far was the winner. I am not sure how long Streamio has been around but I’ve been using KODI since 2016. Tried Streamio (and maybe Stremio) did not like the interface. Glad we have choices to get what we want
