StreamFab Review: Is the Streaming Downloader Suite Worth Your Money?
Table of Contents>
Do you love watching streaming content off your Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime Video but are concerned that you are unable to download the content to watch it offline?
Do you find the restrictive plans of these OTT operators (such as the pay additional for extra screens policy of Netflix) arbitrary and exploitative from their loyal fan base?
If you answered yes to the above questions, then StreamFab is the solution to all of your problems.
1. What's StreamFab?
StreamFab is a multi-channel video downloader software that lets you download videos from all your favorite streaming channels and store them on your hard disk, mobile phone, or any device for viewing at your pleasure.
The service includes over a thousand online video sites, 33 OTT channels such as Netflix and Hulu, two adult service channels (R18 and Fanza), and two live streaming channels.
In short, it's the place you will be doing all your streaming video watching from now on!
2. StreamFab Review: What Does It Offer?
StreamFab features its own browser that is inbuilt into the software. Unlike other downloaders that ask you to copy URLs from the web browser and paste it into their interface (which is a very clunky way to download videos, IMHO), StreamFab lets you see everything right there inside the application itself.
So, if I were to talk about ease of use, StreamFab is leaps and bounds ahead of most of its competitors. Its integrated approach, easy navigation, and menu-driven design are unparalleled in the streaming downloader industry.
As mentioned previously, StreamFab has one of the widest variety of downloaders for streaming content channels in the entire industry.
You can download content from popular channels like Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Hulu, Disney+, Roku, HBO, and many others.
There are more than 1000 video sites from which you can download stuff, including YouTube, FB, Twitter, Vimeo, and Instagram.
- High-End Audio and Video
In most cases, downloaders will give you poor quality, grainy videos that are low resolution and not at all like the actual streaming video quality that you see on the actual channel. This makes downloading videos a big turn-off.
However, StreamFab lets you choose high-end audio and video quality, including both 1080p (FHD) and 720p HD. As far as audio standards are concerned, you can choose between EAC3, AAC2.0, and AC3 5.1
Often, downloaders will give you the file in a format that is only compatible with your PC but not with your mobile phone or on many other devices.
StreamFab lets you download the streaming videos in an MP4 format. MP4 is the most acceptable format for videos in the world. It works well in laptops, mobile phones, tablets, and across OS and platforms.
Thus, when you download the video from StreamFab, you can be sure that it will work everywhere and not just the PC from where you are actually downloading.
Many VOD channels have advertising as well. For example, channels like Roku channel and HBO often contain ads during the movie or content that you are watching.
Now, no one likes to watch ads. If you are downloading a video, why should you have to download those pesky ads as well?
Stream Fab takes care of this problem by letting you skip ahead of ads during the recording, thus giving you a smoother viewing experience than watching it on the actual VOD channel.
Not everyone in America can claim English as their mother tongue. For the millions of non-native English speakers in the US, audio dubbing and subtitles are the best way to enjoy movies and content in their own mother tongue.
But what happens if you download this content from the VOD channel? Do you have to watch it in English? StreamFab makes sure that you can download your favored language dubbing as well as subtitles along with the video so that you can get an enjoyable experience while watching it.
Do you want to download the subtitles separately as an SRT file, or do you want to integrate them with the video itself?
In either case, Stream Fab allows you to do both options. You can download the subtitles separately, or else you can remux them in the video itself.
Most downloaders work as virtual DVRs - you have to turn on the show you like, the downloader will run in the background recording the content and storing it in the cloud somewhere, and then when it is done, you get the downloaded file.
However, StreamFab works on a completely different model. With this product, you can easily download videos automatically without having to actually play the video even once. Secondly, you can set up download lists and download multiple files simultaneously - even entire seasons sometimes!
This makes StreamFab a huge timesaver for you, and you can enjoy all your favorite shows without having first to play them for the downloader.
It's no fun if you have to organize all your content every time you download an episode or a show because your downloader cannot manage to pull out the metadata from the VOD site.
But that's how most downloaders are: they do a rough and shoddy job of getting the content onto your hard disk, and that's about all that you can ask from them.
StreamFab can download all the associated information such as the name of the series, the episode number and name, names of cast members, and even the poster or thumbnail of the show.
If you have a media server like Plex, Kodi, or PlayerFab 7, this information will fit right into your media library, and you get a nice collection sorted in any way you want the files to be shown to you.
In fact, if you use your own media player (DVDFab Player), the content will download right into the player's library itself; you don't have to do anything at all!
If you are in love with the Blu-ray format and you want to create a Blu-ray collection for your home video downloads, then you can do this with StreamFab.
All you need is to download the DVDFab Blu-Ray Creator, and you can add the ISO files right onto a Blu-ray disc. You can even create nice menus and include all the metadata into the Blu-ray file.
It's almost as if you bought a Blu-ray of the content from the store! Amazing.
If you think so far that VOD downloads are the only thing this product can do, then think again.
You can even download social media videos from Facebook, Instagram, and others.
In fact, there are more than one thousand sites from which this fabulous product can download videos and seamlessly store them onto your machine with all the necessary metadata and at the highest quality.
And as far as YouTube is concerned, they have really outdone themselves. Check out some of the cool things you can do with YouTube videos:
- Batch download an entire playlist off YouTub
- Download upto 8K resolution videos in MP4
- Download audio files in MP3 format upto 320kbps.
- Auto download videos from channels that you are subscribed to without pressing a single button.
3. StreamFab Return Policy: 30-Day Money-Back Guarantee
StreamFab offers a 30-day return guarantee and a free trial option if you are not convinced after reading all this. You can try the program for yourself and see if it gives you all you need to download videos.
4. StreamFab Pricing Plans
Each individual VOD and the streaming channel is available separately for prices ranging from $119 to $149. The YouTube channel downloader is available for $49. You can check out the prices right here.
Each streaming channel, online video channel, and even the adult channels available on StreamFab are a separate module that can be purchased individually (Netflix downloader, Hulu downloader, and so on).
However, if you are going to use multiple downloaders most of the time, it is probably a lot more cost-effective to get StreamFab All-In-One. After all, if you add up all the channels and modules available, you get a princely sum of $4179.68, whereas the StreamFab All-In-One is available for merely $239.99
5. What Are the Ways in Which You Can Access StreamFab?
StreamFab can be accessed in three ways:
- StreamFab streaming downloader: for both Windows and Mac
- StreamFab Android version (iOS version is soon to be launched)
- StreamFab browser extension (both Chrome and Firefox)
There are differences here: the PC version is the only one that supports all streaming channels (if you have the all-in-one pack, you can use all of them, or else you have to buy each one individually). The Android version currently does not support streaming channels. However, the mobile version does allow you to sync your playlists on the cloud.
6. Is StreamFab Safe? Is It Legal to Download from StreamFab?
Yes, StreamFab is 100% clean and safe. In most countries, downloading content that you are paying for through subscriptions to online channels is legal as long as you are not using those videos for commercial gain.
- First of all, you can only access these videos if you are a genuine subscriber of the channels. You need to log in to the channel through the StreamFab integrated browser for downloading videos.
- Secondly, StreamFab has added an extra layer of protection to this end to ensure that users who want to abuse the service and cause unnecessary copyright infringements and lawsuits stay away from StreamFab.
StreamFab has very smartly added the metadata of the user to the files being downloaded on their platform, which essentially means that the file will always carry your mark, wherever it goes.
For the vast majority of users, this little thing has no meaning since they never had any intention of sharing the content with others, but for anyone trying to sell these downloaded contents on the black market they will easily be caught and prosecuted.
Final Verdict: Is StreamFab Worth Your Money?
I think after considering all the positive points of StreamFab, I can safely say that it is definitely worth the money that you shell out. For just $239.99 you can get unlimited videos, movies, serials and amazing original content from 32+ VOD sites (more keep getting added regularly), 1000+ video channels and more. It is safe, easy to use and definitely a lot of value to the customer.
