A Seedr alternative with more space
Seedr is a good app. A lot of people in India use it the same way: fetch a torrent in the cloud, then play it in MX Player. The usual problem is space. If you keep running out of room on your plan, here is how Maru does the same job differently.
We make Maru, so this is our side of the comparison. Seedr's prices below are from its own pricing page on 27 Oct 2026.
Monthly storage vs paying for what you use
Seedr's paid plans are monthly, and each one comes with a fixed amount of storage. Lite is $3.95 a month for 10 GB. Pro is $12.95 a month for 500 GB.
Maru doesn't sell storage by the month. You buy points once through Google Play, and 1 point = 1 GB. Points are used only when you stream or download a file, and they never expire. There is no storage limit while you have points.
| Seedr | Maru | |
|---|---|---|
| How you pay | Monthly plan | One-time packs, no subscription |
| Price | Lite $3.95 a month (10 GB), Pro $12.95 a month (500 GB) | 250 GB for ₹99, 1 TB for ₹299, 10 TB for ₹2,499 |
| What the GB means | Storage space | Data you stream or download |
| A month you don't use it | The plan still renews | Nothing is spent |
| Paying in India | Card or PayPal on its site, Google Play in its app | Google Play, UPI included |
| Where it works | Web browser and apps | Android phones only |
Where Seedr is the better pick
- You want to use it on a computer. Seedr works in a browser. Maru is an Android app only.
- You only need a little space now and then. Seedr has a free plan. Maru's free points are only for new accounts, 10 GB until 26 Nov 2026.
Where Maru fits better
- You watch or download a lot in some months and nothing in others. With points, a quiet month costs nothing.
- You want more room without a monthly bill. Your files stay in your Maru cloud with no size limit while you have points.
- You'd rather pay with UPI. Maru sells points through Google Play.
Doing it in Maru
- Install Maru from Google Play and sign up with your email.
- Copy a magnet link, open Maru, go to ADD and tap Paste. For a .torrent file, tap Upload .torrent file.
- Maru downloads it on its servers, not your phone. Popular torrents are usually ready at once. Others take a few minutes. Watch it in MY LINKS.
- When it's done, play it in the app. Or long-press the file and tap Get link, then paste that link into MX Player, VLC or 1DM.
Android only.
