Add-On VS Build

So, what’s the difference between an Add-on and a Build:

Well, a build can consist of different pre-installed add-ons, pre-kinkex repositories that have a look that is novice, and settings that are already tampered with. Kodi builds are usually preferred by those who have just acquainted themselves with Kodi and are incognizant of installing different elements like add-ons etc, one by one and separately. So, they find it less cumbersome to install an add-on and get their clutches on to a different experience each time they install a Kodi build on Firestick.
