ComparisonKraid IPTV vs Televizo: an honest comparison (2026)
Televizo is a lightweight and rather well-liked player on Android: it starts fast, has a clean interface and does not overwhelm you with options. Kraid IPTV shares that idea of simplicity, but extends it to Windows and Smart TV and adds a technical layer (three engines, transcoding, reconnection) for when the signal or the format is not cooperating.
The two apps resemble each other more than they resemble TiviMate or OTT Navigator, so the differences are in the details. Let's go through them.
The 30-second summary
Televizo is light, simple and free for the basics, with a paid Pro version inside the app; it only exists on Android. Kraid costs 4.99 € once for 3 devices, adds Windows and Smart TV, and includes scheduled recording, multi-view, three engines and uncapped reconnection. If you only own Android and the basics are enough, Televizo does the job; if you want more platforms and features without a subscription, Kraid.

Price and model
Televizo is a free download and unlocks features with a Pro version bought inside the app (per its Google Play listing; we have not verified the amount or whether it is one-time or recurring). Kraid costs 4.99 € once for 3 devices, with a 7-day full trial without registration and a 30-day refund.
Platforms
Televizo is Android-only: phone, Android TV, Google TV and Fire TV. Kraid also covers Windows and has native Samsung Tizen and LG webOS apps built and under review in their stores (installable today from the package).
Formats and guide
Both accept M3U and Xtream Codes with an XMLTV guide; Kraid adds Stalker/MAG portals and merges several playlists into one grid. We could not verify Stalker support in Televizo, so we mark it as not verified rather than assume it.
Recording, catch-up and multi-view
Televizo offers catch-up per its listing; we could not confirm recording or multi-view, and we prefer to say so. Kraid includes instant and scheduled recording from the guide, catch-up and multi-view of up to 4 channels on Windows and Android, plus timeshift of up to 30 minutes on Windows.
Engine and HEVC
Televizo uses ExoPlayer and lets you enable software decoders when the chip does not support a codec, which usually costs smoothness and battery. Kraid decodes in hardware whenever it can, and on Windows automatically transcodes incompatible formats; on every platform it reconnects until the signal returns.
Privacy
Neither shows ads according to their listings. Kraid additionally works 100 % locally: no analytics, no trackers, and a backup of your setup in a file you control.
