Comparison posts usually compare the wrong things. Channel counts are easy to inflate, “4K” appears on every website ever built, and nobody’s uptime figure has ever been audited. So this one sticks to the three things you can actually verify: published prices, published catalogue figures, and what happens when you message support.
Price, at every term
| Term | NorvikTV | NordicCast | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 month | $15 | $25 | $10 |
| 3 months | $30 | $55 | $25 |
| 6 months | $45 | $75 | $30 |
| 12 months | $65 | $110 | $45 |
| 24 months | $100 | Not offered | — |
At the cheapest term each service offers, that is $4.17 a month against $9.17 — a fraction over half. Figures from both providers’ own pricing pages, checked September 2026.
Catalogue
NorvikTV carries 90,000+ live channels and 270,000+ films and series. NordicCast publishes 30,000+ channels and 150,000+ titles. Both include sport on every plan, though the sport channel counts are 14,000+ against 1,800+.
Does three times the channel count matter? Honestly, only sometimes. Nobody watches 90,000 channels. It matters when your household is international — when someone wants Arabic news, someone else wants Premier League, and a third person wants the local Norwegian channels in the same guide. If everyone in the house watches the same five Nordic channels, the extra 60,000 are decoration.
What is the same
- 24-hour free trial, no card, on both
- 14-day money-back guarantee on both
- Up to 5 simultaneous streams on both
- 7-day EPG with catch-up on both
- Roughly 5-minute activation on both
That symmetry is the useful part of this comparison: on the mechanics of buying and testing, there is nothing to choose between them. The decision is catalogue, price and support language.
Support
NordicCast advertises support desks in Norwegian, Swedish, Danish, Finnish and English. NorvikTV runs 24/7 support in English. If your household would rather deal with a Nordic-language desk, that is a real advantage and we are not going to pretend otherwise.
How to decide in one evening
- Take both free trials on the same day. Neither asks for a card.
- Load both as separate playlists in the same player app — IPTV Smarters and TiviMate both hold several accounts.
- Watch a live fixture at peak time on each, back to back.
- Check your own local channels are present and correct on both.
- Open a 4K film on each and see how your line copes.
- Send both support desks the same question and time the replies.
Twenty-four hours of that tells you more than any table. Our side is on the pricing page and the trial is on the free trial page.
