      They are essentially the same if you’re just streaming and not taking advantage of the other features tbh. RD is cheaper, so I would stick with them. Biggest difference is that you could share your account (they don’t promote it though). I do use their other features like the cloud storage, rss feeds, and automation so that downloads from premiumize automatically gets downloaded to my NAS.

        I had an issue with sharing my RD account, which is why I was asking. Usually it works fine, but I did get a notice from them about concurrent usage and them threatening to shit down my account.

        Also cloud storage? RSS feeds? I’d love to know about these.

        Also have you ever used All Debrid?

          Oh ok. Yeah RD doesn’t allow sharing at all. I mean you can share if you don’t watch at the same time pretty much.

          PM gives you 1TB cloud storage with the account. I normally download torrents into it and either stream directly or download from that to my NAS.

          RSS feeds is like similar to use the *arr suite of apps of you know what that is. Take for example, for anime, I use Shana project. So I just add the anime that I want to sub for the season. Pick the quality and then it’ll generate an RSS feed the I connected to PM. PM will automatically check the feed at an internal and auto-download the new episodes. Works with tv shows/minutes.

          Sorry I haven’t used All debrid.
