Stremio vs EasyCine
Stremio, or your own branded app. One addon protocol, two different products.
Stremio is a free media centre viewers install themselves. EasyCine is white-label source code: your name on the app, your admin panel, your ads, and Stremio addon support built in.

- Admin panel
- Phone and Android TV
Short answer
Stremio is a free app viewers install themselves; EasyCine is white-label source code with your name on the app, your admin panel and your ads, plus built-in support for the Stremio addon protocol. EasyCine costs from $1,999, one-time, one brand per licence.
The short version
Not the same kind of product.
Stremio is a free app for viewers on desktop, mobile and TV. People install it, add the addons they want and watch. It isn't sold as white-label code, so you can't publish it under your own name.
EasyCine is source code you rebrand and publish. Its phone and TV apps install Stremio addons for catalogues, details, streams and subtitles, by URL or stremio:// link, next to other sources you choose.
Fair to Stremio
When Stremio is the better choice.
You're watching for yourself
Stremio is free and ready to install. EasyCine is for businesses, not personal viewing.
You need desktop or web
Stremio runs on computers and in the browser. EasyCine covers Android phones, tablets and TV.
You don't need a brand
If nobody needs your name, your ads or an admin panel, there's nothing to build.
Where EasyCine fits
When EasyCine is the better choice.
Your name on Google Play
The Builder sets your name, icon, colours and package name, then builds a signed AAB.
You control the sources
Switch sources on or off and pick plugin repos remotely, without shipping an app update.
You earn from your audience
Banner and full-screen ads from four networks, plus VAST pre-roll on phone and TV.
More than addons
Tracker mode (watch tracker) adds watchlists, Trakt sync, reminders and where to watch from TMDB.
Addons are your choice.
EasyCine ships with no addons and the addon switch off. Add only addons you're licensed to use; they decide what your app streams.

Stremio questions.
Is EasyCine a Stremio clone?
No. EasyCine is its own native Android code. It uses the Stremio addon protocol, so addons built for Stremio can work in it. Stremio's apps and brand belong to Stremio.
Can I rebrand the Stremio app?
Stremio isn't offered as white-label code, so its app ships under its own name. EasyCine is built to be rebranded: name, icon, colours, logo and package name.
Do Stremio addons work in EasyCine?
Yes, once you turn addons on. The apps read catalogues, details, streams and subtitles from addons you install by URL or stremio:// link. EasyCine ships with none.
Do viewers need the Stremio app?
No. Addon support is built into EasyCine's phone and TV apps, so viewers install only your app.
Which addons should I add?
Only addons you're licensed to use. EasyCine ships with no addons and every source off, and the sources you add decide what your app streams.
Can EasyCine work without addons?
Yes. Tracker mode runs on TMDB as a watch tracker, Links mode plays your licensed links from the panel, and Panel mode plays your own catalogue.
