| Free tier | Free, no payment and no install: the app is served from the browser at web.stremio.com. It does require a Stremio account - the vendor's own walkthrough for iOS opens with 'logging in to Stremio Web' and syncing addons through that account. unit unlimited; metered on none |
|---|---|
| Price | USD 0 |
| Limits |
The real limit is a capability gap, not a counter: without a local Stremio Service there is no torrent streaming and no in-browser conversion, so a P2P result set is unplayable in the browser even though it renders in the list. |
| Binding | none Nothing at the Stremio layer counts bytes or requests. |
| Identity | email A Stremio account is required to hold addons and library, which the vendor's own guide treats as step one ('logging in to Stremio Web'). No card and no phone. |
| Egress | Stremio does not meter a user. The bytes come from wherever the addon points - the debrid provider or the source host - so no allowance exists at this layer. free allowance: unlimited |
| Per-object cap | not applicable: a client, not a store |
| Retention | not applicable: the addon list and library live in the Stremio account, not on the client device |
| Interface | rest A single-page web app (10,759-byte HTML shell titled 'Stremio - Freedom to Stream') that speaks the Stremio addon protocol to whatever manifests the account has installed. PWA-installable in Safari for iOS/iPadOS. |
| Tooling | runs in the browser. Its missing half is Stremio Service, the local daemon: 'Stremio Web will still not be fully featured without connecting it to Stremio Service ... some missing features include: converting videos to support the browser, torrent streaming, etc'. |
| Composes with | The free front end for the whole pipeline: install Torrentio/Comet/MediaFusion/AIOStreams manifest URLs into the account, and a debrid key inside one of them turns Stremio Web into a player with no hardware anywhere. |
| Reliability | The vendor's help centre still answers 'Can I run Stremio in my browser?' with 'Not at the moment, but this is coming!' (updated 2026-09-03) while the web app is live and documented on their own blog - the support page is stale, not the product. |
| Notes | This is the piece that makes the free floor a real floor: a browser tab replaces a user and the media player. What it cannot replace is Stremio Service, and that daemon is what a P2P-only stack needs - so in practice Stremio Web forces the debrid key rather than removing the need for one. |
| Evidence note | documented The HTML shell, the vendor blog walkthrough and the help-centre answer were read. Not measured: an actual account login and playback, which needs an account the session did not create. |

| 2026-10-23 | web.stremio.com/ | HTTP 200, 10,759 bytes of HTML, title 'Stremio - Freedom to Stream' - the app is served, not a landing page |
