This guide covers the best Kodi Builds for Firestick, Android TV, Windows, Mac, and any compatible Kodi device in 2024.
Builds are pre-configured versions of the Kodi software filled with add-ons, custom skins, integrations, and other features.
Think of this as a pre-made package for Kodi designed to improve user experience while offering a more convenient way to access content.
All the builds highlighted in this article have been tested on the Amazon Firestick 4K.
However, Kodi can be installed on any Android-powered device, Windows PC, Mac, Linux, and more.
Our reviews team ranked the best builds based on the following factors:
- Popularity
- Categories
- Content Library
- Add-on quality
- Repository & Wizard
- Integrations
- Build size
- User-Interface
The number one reason to install a Kodi build is to save time.
Without installing a build, Kodi users will spend hours dealing with individual add-ons and hope for a good streaming experience.
Builds are created by third-party developers and are filled with movies, TV shows, live channels, sports, adult content, and integrations in one simple interface.
Users can integrate services with builds such as Real-Debrid, Alldebrid, Premiumize, and Trakt for improved streaming quality.
I mention Real-Debrid throughout this guide, and it’s important to understand why this service matters.
Real-Debrid is a premium service that costs under $5 per month and provides high-quality streaming links for better playback.
It’s recommended to pair Real-Debrid with Kodi builds and add-ons for an improved streaming experience.
However, not all builds or add-ons are compatible with Real-Debrid, and we make note of that for each build we tested.
Before using any builds on this list, you must first install the Kodi application on a compatible device.
Popular Kodi devices include the Amazon Firestick, Fire TV, Android TV/Google TV boxes, Windows PC, and Mac computers.
All of the builds listed below are compatible with Kodi 21 Omega.
V21 Omega is the most stable release of the Kodi software.
Some builds also work on the previous version 20 Nexus, and we have noted that accordingly.
NOTE: Many users prefer to create their own custom build using Kodi Skins.
This will allow you to customize it with widgets and settings for a personalized experience.
This simple process is outlined in our detailed guide below – How to Create a Custom Build with Widgets

Best Kodi Builds in 2024
1. Superman
The “Superman” build marks its spot at the top of our list of Best Kodi Builds for many reasons, as described in the video tutorial above.
The user interface features a Superman-themed look and is extremely easy to navigate on any device.
Best of all, this build offers streaming options for everyone, including movies, TV series, live channels, sports, and even a dedicated “Marvel&DC” category for superhero content.
It’s recommended to integrate Real-Debrid within the Superman build for optimal streaming performance.
Superman can be installed from the “cMaN Wizard,” which houses other high-quality builds.
The developers behind “cMaN Wizard” are some of the best the Kodi community has to offer.

2. Diggz Xenon
We have ranked Diggz Xenon Plus as the second-best build for several reasons. This is a top choice among cord-cutters due to its collection of add-ons, futuristic interface, and content library. This build is located inside the Chef Nexus Wizard which houses other popular “Diggz” builds.
One important distinction to note is the difference between the “Debrid” and “Free” versions of Diggz Xenon. Using the Debrid version requires a debrid service (Real-Debrid for example) to stream content while Free does not require a debrid service.
A debrid service will populate higher-quality streaming links but does come with an additional expense. The developers behind Diggz Xenon Plus frequently update this build to ensure everything is running at peak performance. Ultimately, Diggz Xenon is an excellent choice for both new and experienced Kodi users.
