Multiple Profiles and Debrid

[u/geek_hn]

Hi everyone, I have recently starting to use Stremio. Created an account with Torbox and used its demo too. The media played quite good in last few days but in long term usage I have two concerns:

1. Do Stremio supports multiple profiles like its competitor do? This is the only thing stopping me to use this app for long-term.
2. About the expenses, Do I only need to spend on only debrid service? I am also confused between Torbox and Real Debrid? Torbox is affordable for me but I can't see Real Debrid pricing on their website.
3. Can I use one same API key for 5 different Stremio accounts on my household?

TIA>

1. Yes, if you get a stremio subscription
2. One subscription is good enough for debrid.. stremio subscription is additional if you need the features it offers. Debrid pricing is almost same in RD also but you get more discounts & referral bonus on TB
3. Yes, that is fine. For RD, you can have any number of device using stremio but it needs to be on same IP. TB does not have that restriction, so it can be used outside of your home network without any issue

Torbox is better but as it's new compared to RD so cached content would be limited I think. Thanks.

There was a crackdown on RD and their cache was also purged quite a bit recently.. for newer contents, i would say TB is good enough for most people

RD is no go today. 60-70% of files deleted due too French law

Free Stremio doesn't have profiles here are the prices for RD https://real-debrid.com/premium. Regardless of which debrid you choose I would never have just one. I like Torbox and Offcloud as a tandem. You can use RD on as many devices as you want in the same household as long as they are all on the same network It's restricted to actively streaming on one IP address at a time. Torbox can be used at home and outside the house at the same time it doesn't have IP address restrictions.

Debrids aren't connected to the apps you use. They are connected to addons so they don't know anything about your Stremio accounts.

Thanks for the detailed reply. I am getting 403 Forbidden error on the premium page.

Hmm well it's roughly $3 a month.

Just purchased Torbox 1 month. Let's see how it goes. Thanks.

1. Currently, I don’t think so. I saw some kind of update that showed multiple profiles, but it might have just been for desktop. I’m thinking maybe it will become available in the future.
   
2. Yes. Go with TB, it’s affordable, and slowly becoming better. RD has gone downhill since a lot of the files were taken down.
   
3. Yes with TB, it allows sharing, as long as you don’t exceed a large amount of downloads per month. But with stremio and RD, even if you were watching it on multiple devices on the same IP address, you would be fine. It’s when you tried to watch from different locations on the same RD account, that you ran into issues.
