How to Setup & Use Real-Debrid on Kodi/APKs (Sept. 2024) (2024)

This guide shows how to install and set up Real-Debrid on Kodi along with various streaming APKs on a Firestick or Google/Android TV device.

Using this service on an Android-based streaming system is the most popular method but there are numerous ways that it can be utilized. Many people also use it on their phones and tablets as well.

When you use Real-Debrid with Kodi or other streaming apps, you get buffer-free HD playback that you wouldn’t normally find with the default streams.

It’s important to point out that Real-Debrid is not an add-on or application. It’s a service that you can tie into various Kodi add-ons and streaming apps.

You will find step-by-step instructions below on how to pair this service with your favorite add-on or APKs.

Integrating this service within your preferred add-on is the best way to eliminate buffering on your Firestick or Android TV device.

In a recent poll taken on the TROYPOINT Insider, 90% of respondents use this in conjunction with their favorite streaming apps and add-ons.

What is Real-Debrid?

If you are an avid cord-cutter you have likely heard the term real-debrid but may be wondering just exactly what it is and how it works. In general terms, real-debrid is a platform that provides streaming links on media outlets such as Kodi Addons or APKs.

You may have used these options in the past to watch VOD content but felt disappointed with the streams provided that may not be in high definition quality or seem to buffer/lag during playback. This is where real-debrid comes in.

Real-Debrid hosts HD streaming links by the masses and because servers aren’t cluttered with traffic, there are never any buffering issues and you can watch your favorite content without interruptions.

The service refers to itself as an “unrestricted downloader” that allows you to download & stream movies & TV shows instantly from file lockers and torrent sites.

You can think of this service as a middle-man between you and the servers that store media files.

The service processes those files on their servers and sends them to you at blazing-fast speeds which means no buffering. Plus you will enjoy 4K and 1080P streams to boot.

Most cord-cutters use this platform with their Amazon Firestick or Android/Google TV Box in conjunction with free Kodi add-ons or streaming apps. We provide instructions for adding this service to both in the guide below.

Without Real-Debrid, using Kodi addons and free streaming apps is basically useless these days. Many of the servers that provide free links have been shut down or are too congested.

Premium Real-Debrid Features

• High-speed downloads, up to 1,000 Mbps
• HTML 5 Streaming (no plugin needed)
• No waiting times for streams to start playing or ads
• Firefox, Chrome, and Jdownloader Plugins
• DLC, RSDF, and CCF decrypter
• Parallel downloads possible
• Unlimited traffic
• Support for download accelerators
• Multiple hosters on a single website
• AES Secure Downloads are possible

Pricing

In order to use Real-Debrid with various streaming outlets, you must sign up for a premium account.

Yes, it’s a paid service, however, it costs less than $5/month and will likely be the best investment you make after cutting the cord.

Users have 4 subscription options which are shown below:

• 15 Day Subscription: Roughly $3.16 US (3 EUR) & 150 Fidelity Points
• 30 Day Subscription: Roughly $4.21 US (4 EUR) & 200 Fidelity Points
• 90 Day Subscription: Roughly $9.48 US (9 EUR) & 450 Fidelity Points
• 180 Day Subscription: Roughly $16.86 US (16 EUR) & 800 Fidelity Points

Real-Debrid accepts four different methods of payment.

• Credit Cards
• Amazon Pay
• Cryptocurrency (including Bitcoin)
• Prepaid Tickets

Some have complained that their credit cards aren’t accepted when trying to pay for subscriptions. This is due to some of them being blocked due to the fact that this company is based outside the United States of America. The solution is to use Amazon Pay or Cryptocurrency instead.

Privacy Concerns

Before we dive into any instructions, it’s important to point out two concerning statements in Real-Debrid’s privacy policy.

Exceptional Disclosure of Personal Data

We may be required to disclose Users personal data in order to protect our legal rights or where disclosure of Users personal data’s are required of us by the judicial authorities only when legal procedures are followed.

Datalogging

Files links that Users download are stored in a database for legal concerns and our internal use. All saved links are erased within 1 month for security reasons and service needs. However all requests made on our site are stored for 1 year, the legal retention period.

It’s important to note that if you don’t register for Real-Debrid with a compatible VPN such as Surfshark, your identifying IP Address is logged in your account. Everything that you access through RD’s servers will have your digital fingerprint attached to it.

Furthermore, if you don’t connect to a VPN on your streaming device prior to using the service, your IP Address will be logged at that time as well. See my Kodi setup video below where I show how to prevent IP address logging with a working kill switch.

Syncler is one of the most widely-used applications to use in conjunction with Real-Debrid.

The developers continually update it with improvements and added features to ensure a fabulous streaming experience on any device such as Firestick/Google/Android TV.

Flix Vision

A newer addition to this list, Flix Vision caters to all media streamers as this platform is definitely an all-in-one application with both live content and on demand choices as well.

App users will be able to view films and series via direct links that are scraped from the internet. However, those of us who use real-debrid can integrate this platform for even higher-quality source options.

Unlike other outlets of its kind, Flix Vision has external video player abilities and this includes the ever popular MX Player that works perfectly with RD streams. Best of all, there are no ads so you don’t have to worry about being bombarded during playback of your video choice.

Unfortunately, Real-Debrid does not allow for deleting a premium account. They simply tell you to let your account expire and then contact them at that time for account removal.

This is pulled directly from the help section on their website.

First of all, please note that we can’t delete an account with a premium state.

To check that, you need to be connected to your account

But please understand that your download history is retained for one year whether you delete it or not.

Compatible VPNs

You may not be aware that Real-Debrid only works with certain VPN providers.

Some of the most popular cooperative VPN services include Surfshark, ExpressVPN, IPVanish, NordVPN, StrongVPN, and others seen in the list located on their website. It’s important to use a VPN that has a working kill switch present on the device you are using. It only takes one connection to the Real-Debrid servers for them to log your identifying IP Address.

Real-Debrid vs AllDebrid vs Premiumize

For those looking to find a replacement, there are a few alternative options.

The most popular include AllDebrid and Premiumize which are both premium resolvers with integration capabilities.

These tools work in the exact same fashion and provide the same high-quality streams however, there are a few key differences.

The first to consider is price as this is usually the main focus for anyone looking to find one of these services.

Listed below are the current prices for all 3 services.

• Real-Debrid – 4 EUR (Roughly $4.21 US) for 30 Days
• AllDebrid – 4 EUR (Roughly $4.50 US) for 1 Month
• Premiumize – 10 EUR (Roughly $11 US) for 1 Month (cheaper when purchasing longer plan)

As you can see, Real-Debrid and AllDebrid are comparable in price with Premiumize nearly double the cost of both.

When comparing services, there are some differences including VPN compatibility and app/addon compatibility.

In terms of popularity, Real-Debrid is much more well-known which means it is likely available on more platforms including Kodi and Streaming Apps.

This platform also has various VPN compatibility which is not always the case for AllDebrid which may not work with various VPN services.

For these reasons and more, we suggest Real-Debrid as the best unrestricted downloader service to use on your media device.
