What Is an MBC Shahid Clone App?
An MBC Shahid clone app is a ready-made, white-label video streaming platform that lets you launch your own premium OTT service — movies, TV series, live TV, originals and kids content — like MBC Shahid (Shahid VIP), Netflix or OSN+, without building it from scratch. It ships with adaptive video streaming, DRM protection, subscription and ad-supported monetization, multi-profile accounts, offline downloads and a full content-management and admin system, and you rebrand every part of it as your own. Our MBC Shahid clone app development package is delivered as native iOS and Android apps, Smart TV apps and a web platform, deployed under your brand.
Instead of spending a year and a six-figure engineering budget wiring up encoding pipelines, DRM, CDNs, billing and recommendation engines, you get a production-grade OTT product that already solves those problems — so you can focus on licensing content and growing subscribers.
Why Build a Video Streaming App Like MBC Shahid?
MBC Shahid proved that audiences across the Middle East and North Africa will pay for premium Arabic-first streaming — dubbed and subtitled series, exclusive originals, live MBC channels and Ramadan tent-pole releases. An app like MBC Shahid lets you capture regional demand the global platforms underserve, with first-class Arabic and right-to-left (RTL) support, local payment methods and content your audience actually wants. A white label MBC Shahid app gives you that entire product under your own brand, on your own terms.
Everything Your MBC Shahid Clone Includes
VOD library — movies, series & originals
Organise thousands of titles into movies, multi-season series, collections and originals, with trailers, cast, episodes, watch-progress and “continue watching” across devices.
Live TV & linear channels
Stream live channels with an EPG (electronic programme guide), catch-up and start-over — the same live + on-demand mix that makes Shahid sticky.
Subscription + ad-supported monetization
Run a premium SVOD tier (your Shahid VIP), a free ad-supported (AVOD) tier and optional TVOD rentals. You control plans, pricing, free trials, coupons and regional offers from the admin panel.
Arabic-first, multi-language & RTL
Full Arabic UI with right-to-left layouts, multi-language audio and subtitles, and a personalised home feed tuned to each viewer.
Multi-profile, downloads & multi-device
Household profiles with kids mode and parental controls, offline downloads, and playback across iOS, Android, web and Smart TV with Chromecast and AirPlay.
DRM-protected, studio-grade streaming
Adaptive HLS/DASH streaming with Widevine, FairPlay and PlayReady DRM and token-based playback, so licensed content stays protected.
Content management & admin dashboard
A full CMS to ingest, schedule and merchandise content, plus dashboards for subscribers, revenue, retention and viewing analytics.
How the Monetization Works
The MBC Shahid clone monetises the proven OTT way: a premium subscription (SVOD) tier for ad-free access to the full catalog, a free ad-supported (AVOD) tier to grow reach, and optional rentals (TVOD) and sponsorships. Every lever — plans, pricing, trials, ad rules, regional bundles and telco billing — is yours to control from the admin panel, with Stripe, local gateways and carrier billing supported.
How Your MBC Shahid Clone Works
Viewers browse a personalised home feed of movies, series and live channels, start watching instantly on the free tier, and subscribe to unlock premium and ad-free viewing. They pick up where they left off on any device, download for offline, and manage household profiles — while you control the catalog, pricing and monetization end to end.
Built on Production-Grade OTT Infrastructure
Under the hood you get the pieces a streaming service actually needs: an encoding and packaging pipeline, adaptive HLS/DASH delivery over a CDN, multi-DRM, a subscription and entitlements engine, and a recommendation system — the same infrastructure that keeps a service like Shahid fast and reliable at scale.
Built for a Full-Ownership Launch
Your MBC Shahid clone is 100% white label — your name, logo, colours, domain, app-store listings and payment accounts, with nothing carrying our branding. Full source code is included and transferred on day one, we follow a day-by-day 30-day launch plan to soft launch, and you deploy on your own cloud with no recurring licence fees.

How much does MBC Shahid clone app development cost?
Building a full OTT platform like MBC Shahid from scratch typically costs $150,000–$400,000 and takes a year or more once you add encoding, DRM, CDN, billing and Smart TV apps. Our white-label MBC Shahid clone delivers the same product — native iOS, Android, Smart TV and web apps, VOD + live TV, subscriptions and an admin CMS — for a one-time $18,000, with full source code included and no recurring licence fees.
Is this a white label MBC Shahid app — can I fully rebrand it?
Yes, it is 100% white label. Your name, logo, colours, domain, app-store listings and payment accounts — nothing carries our branding. Viewers only ever see your brand across the iOS app, Android app, Smart TV apps and the web.
Does it support VOD, live TV and subscriptions like Shahid?
Yes. The platform handles on-demand movies and multi-season series, live TV channels with an EPG and catch-up, and a premium subscription (SVOD) tier alongside a free ad-supported (AVOD) tier and optional rentals — the same on-demand-plus-live mix that makes Shahid sticky.
How does the monetization work (subscription, ads, rentals)?
You run a premium SVOD subscription for ad-free access, a free ad-supported AVOD tier to grow reach, and optional TVOD rentals and sponsorships. Plans, pricing, free trials, coupons, ad rules and regional bundles are all controlled from the admin panel, with Stripe, local gateways and carrier billing supported.
Does it support Arabic, right-to-left (RTL) layouts and multi-language subtitles?
Yes. It is built Arabic-first with full right-to-left (RTL) layouts, plus multi-language audio and subtitle tracks, so you can serve Arabic and English (and more) audiences from a single platform.
Is content DRM-protected, and does it work on Smart TVs?
Yes. Content is delivered with adaptive HLS/DASH streaming and multi-DRM (Widevine, FairPlay and PlayReady) with token-based playback, and playback works across iOS, Android, web and Smart TV apps with Chromecast and AirPlay.
Do I get the source code, and how long does delivery take?
Yes — full source code is included and transferred on day one, so you own the apps and backend outright with no recurring licence fees. We follow a day-by-day 30-day launch plan to soft launch, deploying on your own cloud.
What technology is the MBC Shahid clone built with?
The MBC Shahid clone is built on a production-grade stack: React Native for native iOS and Android, Next.js + React for web, a Node.js backend, PostgreSQL and Redis, an encoding/packaging pipeline with adaptive HLS/DASH delivery over a CDN, and multi-DRM. It deploys to AWS, GCP or DigitalOcean.
