debrid-services-comparison is a data set with a web app on top

A comparison tool, not a downloader

The project compares debrid services, described in the readme as multi-hoster services that act as paid aggregation layers between a user and dozens or hundreds of individual file hosts. The mechanism is described plainly: you give the service a link, or a torrent or magnet, and where the provider supports the source it may fetch the item or return a cached copy, with speed, cache status, ads and host restrictions depending on the service, the plan, the host and the source. That last clause is the important one, and it is the reason a comparison like this has value. The same link can behave differently across providers, so the listed benefits, direct downloads that may avoid some host side waits or captchas, one subscription covering many hosts, remote fetching of torrents and magnets, streaming ready links, cloud storage with varying retention, and API access, are all qualified by the plan and the source. What this repository is, then, is a reference: a set of structured comparisons and a web app to read them, published at debridcompare.pages.dev. It contains no client, no credentials and no download logic of its own.

Six axes across nine tracked services

The core features matrix is the centre of the readme, and it compares Real-Debrid, AllDebrid, Premiumize, TorBox, Debrid-Link and LinkSnappy, with an others column for the rest, across six questions. Does the service handle torrents, where only Premiumize and TorBox are listed as yes and LinkSnappy as no. Is Usenet access included, which is a Premiumize and TorBox feature. Is there a free trial, where AllDebrid offers a seven day trial and TorBox has a free tier. Is there API access, which all of them have. What mobile app exists, ranging from official apps for Premiumize and TorBox through a progressive web app for AllDebrid, third party apps for Real-Debrid and web only for Debrid-Link and LinkSnappy. And how storage works, where Premiumize and TorBox have real cloud storage and the rest offer a temporary cache. A second matrix turns those facts into recommendations by priority, with the cheapest option, the best all round option, the try before you buy options, the maximum host coverage option and the option for a Plex or Jellyfin setup, each pointing back into the detail sections.

Host coverage is the long tail, and it is where the differences hide

The readme advertises comparison across more than 300 file hosts, and there is a dedicated section for the full list with a search, plus separate subsections for Usenet support, adult hosts and live status. The tree shows where the data lives, with a data directory holding the structured information, a separate public directory for the images and other assets, and a standalone Adult-hosts.md file at the root, which suggests the host list is split between machine readable data and prose files for the parts that do not fit a table. The quick decision matrix points maximum host coverage at LinkSnappy, and the personalised recommendation text repeats the reason, that it is for obscure hosts and for people who download from many different sources. This is the axis where the comparison gets genuinely hard to maintain, because host lists change daily as providers add and remove support, and a comparison that is stale here will send someone to a service that cannot fetch the source they care about.

The policy warnings are the part worth reading twice

Two warnings in the readme are more useful than the pricing tables. The first concerns TorBox, where the project notes that the terms were changed to prohibit sharing an account or an API key, and that there have been multiple downtime incidents, with links to the current terms and the status page and a recommendation to review both before subscribing or renewing. The second concerns Real-Debrid, where the recommendation is deliberately cautious: it is suggested for legacy cache depth on older or niche content and for people who are already subscribed and find some 1080p content still working, and it is explicitly not recommended as a primary service because copyright filtering blocks 50 to 70 percent of cached content as of June 2026. That single number is the most important fact in the repository for anyone trying to understand what these services can and cannot do, and it points at the legal ambiguity around the whole category. The terms of each provider differ, and the practical reading of a comparison like this is that it tells you where to look, not what is safe.

Pricing figures are a snapshot, and the readme dates some of them

The pricing section quotes specific numbers, which is where a comparison site ages fastest. The Premiumize recommendation cites the published one terabyte cloud storage plan with WebDAV, FTP, SFTP, remote upload and API access at a listed price of 69.99 euro or 79.99 US dollars for a one year plan, with the note that VAT may apply. The AllDebrid recommendation cites a 30 day recurring plan at 2.99 euro or a one time 30 day plan at 3.99 euro, along with the seven day free offer that requires SMS verification, applies to new members and carries fair use limits. The TorBox free tier is listed as a try before you buy option. None of these are marked with a date in the visible text, although the Real-Debrid filtering figure is explicitly dated to June 2026, so a reader has to work out for themselves how old a price might be. The project publishes the data separately from the site, which at least means a diff can show what changed, and the release history shows the site is actively maintained, with version 3.0 published at the end of September 2026 and 3.0.1 on 2026-10-07, alongside a last push on the same day.

The tools catalogue maps the integration surface

A large part of the readme is a catalogue of the software that works with these services, and it is organised by what the software is rather than by which provider it supports. There are media centres and streaming applications, streaming add-ons, media management and automation tools, download managers, browser extensions and mobile applications. For anyone who already runs a media server, this section is the one that saves time, because it answers the question the pricing tables cannot, which is whether the thing you already use can talk to the service you are considering. The scale of the ecosystem listed here is itself evidence of how normalised these services have become in the self hosted media community, and it is a reminder that a comparison which stopped at five providers would leave out most of what people actually use. The readme also points to community resources and a disclaimer, which is the correct place for a project of this kind to be explicit that the information is provided as is and that the reader should verify it with the providers.

A static site with a data pipeline behind it

The implementation is small and tells you how the content is produced. The package manifest describes a private ES module project built with Vite 8, TypeScript 7 and Tailwind 4, with a variable Inter font shipped through a font source package and a Tailwind Vite plugin. The scripts show the pipeline. There is an optimize-json script run with tsx that shrinks the data payloads, a font sync script, a typecheck with the compiler in no emit mode, and a smoke test script, with the test command running the typecheck and the smoke test in sequence and a verify command that builds before testing. The runtime is Bun rather than Node, which explains the typecheck script being run through bun run. The dev and build commands are plain Vite, and the preview command serves the built site on all interfaces. The tree carries a source directory, a scripts directory, the data directory, a public directory, an index.html, a Vite config with a matching TypeScript config, and a contributing guide, so the content and the presentation are kept apart in a way that a maintainer can update without touching the site code.

Editorial conclusion

debrid-services-comparison suits someone deciding between commercial multi-hoster subscriptions and who wants the pricing, host coverage and policy terms in one place rather than in scattered forum posts, since the data is separated from the presentation and can be regenerated and diffed. It is a poor choice if you need current prices, because the figures quoted in the readme are dated, and a poor choice as a legal guide, because it is a comparison, not advice, and the services sit in a legally unsettled space. Verify three things before you act on it: the date of the pricing figures against the provider's own page, the current terms of the service you pick, particularly around account and API key sharing, and whether the host coverage matches the sources you actually use, since the list changes constantly. The licence is MIT, the last push was on 2026-10-07, and the newest release is 3.0.1 from the same day.
