NordicCast alternative: NordicCast vs NorvikTV
An honest, figure-by-figure comparison of NordicCast and NorvikTV — channels, on-demand library, prices at every term, devices, trial and support. Competitor figures are quoted from nordiccast.com's own pages, checked September 2026.
Same idea, different maths
NordicCast and NorvikTV sell the same kind of thing: an IPTV subscription that replaces a cable box with a login. Both publish a 24-hour trial, both publish a 14-day money-back window, both run up to five simultaneous streams, and both carry a seven-day EPG.
The difference is size and price. NorvikTV carries roughly three times the live channels and close to twice the on-demand library, and costs less at every term both services offer — $75 against $110 for a year, with a two-year plan at $115 that NordicCast does not sell at all.
What NordicCast has that we do not claim: a stated Oslo base and support desks advertised in Norwegian, Swedish, Danish and Finnish. Our support runs 24/7 in English. If a Nordic-language desk is the thing that matters most to your household, that is a fair reason to pick them, and we would rather say so than pretend otherwise.

Pick on what you actually care about
Choose NorvikTV if…
- You want the biggest catalogue for the money — three times the channels at 59% of the yearly price
- You want to prepay two years and stop thinking about it ($115, the lowest per-month rate either service offers)
- You watch a lot of sport and want 14,000+ sport channels rather than 1,800
- Your household is international and you want 120+ countries in one guide, not a Nordic-first line-up
- You would rather have bonus months than a marketing badge
Choose NordicCast if…
- You want support in Norwegian, Swedish, Danish or Finnish rather than English
- You specifically want a provider that presents itself as Oslo-based and Nordic-first
- Your viewing is almost entirely Nordic broadcasters, so the extra 90,000 channels would go unused
- You are happy paying more per month for that positioning
The honest way to decide
Both services publish a 24-hour trial with no card. Run both on the same evening, on the same television, at peak time — a live match, a 4K film, your own local channels, and a message to each support desk. Twenty-four hours of evidence beats any comparison table, including this one.
Moving from NordicCast takes about five minutes
There is nothing to uninstall and no equipment to send back. An IPTV subscription is a set of credentials inside a player app, so you can run both at once while you decide.
Keep your existing line running
Do not cancel anything yet. Whatever term you have already paid for keeps working — there is no benefit to switching it off early.
Take a NorvikTV trial on the same TV
Message us, tell us your device, and add the trial line as a second playlist in the same player. IPTV Smarters, TiviMate and most other apps hold several accounts side by side.
Compare them at peak time
Switch between the two playlists during a live fixture. Check channel-change speed, the EPG, your own local channels and how a 4K film holds up on your line.
Keep the one you prefer
Delete the other playlist. If that is us, we upgrade your trial credentials to a paid term, so nothing has to be set up twice.
What people ask before switching
Is NorvikTV affiliated with NordicCast?
No. NorvikTV is an independent service with no connection to NordicCast, and we are not endorsed by or affiliated with them. This page exists because people search for a NordicCast alternative and deserve a straight comparison rather than a sales pitch.
What is the best NordicCast alternative?
It depends on what you are optimising for. If you want the largest catalogue for the lowest yearly cost, NorvikTV carries 90,000+ channels and 270,000+ on-demand titles at $75 a year against NordicCast's 30,000+ channels and 150,000+ titles at $110. If you specifically want a provider that markets itself as Oslo-based with Nordic-language support desks, NordicCast is built around that.
Is NorvikTV cheaper than NordicCast?
Yes, at every term we both offer. NordicCast publishes $25 for one month, $55 for three, $75 for six and $110 for twelve. NorvikTV is $15, $35, $45 and $75 for the same terms, and adds a two-year plan at $115 that NordicCast does not offer. Figures checked September 2026.
Do both services have a free trial?
Yes. Both publish a 24-hour trial with no card required, and both publish a 14-day money-back guarantee on paid plans. That is the sane way to compare them: run both trials on your own television on the same evening.
Can I switch from NordicCast to NorvikTV?
Yes, and there is nothing to uninstall. IPTV credentials are just a username, a password and a server address inside a player app such as IPTV Smarters or TiviMate. Add the NorvikTV line as a second playlist, watch both, and delete whichever one you like less.
