TiviMate IPTV Subscription Costs Are Really Two Bills
A tivimate iptv subscription is two separate purchases: the TiviMate app and the IPTV line that fills it with channels and VOD.

TiviMate IPTV Subscription Costs Are Really Two Bills
A tivimate iptv subscription is not one purchase. TiviMate is a player app for Firestick and Android TV that organizes what you watch; the IPTV subscription is the separate content line that supplies the channels and video on demand TiviMate displays.
A tivimate iptv subscription is not one purchase. TiviMate is a player app for Firestick and Android TV that organizes what you watch; the IPTV subscription is the separate content line that supplies the channels and video on demand TiviMate displays. Buy the app once, then pick the line: IP4KTV runs $10 a month on a 12-month plan ($120 total), with a $5, 24-hour trial to test the combination before you commit further.

In detail
Two line items, one setup
What does TiviMate actually charge for?
TiviMate is a free app with a paid upgrade that adds organization features, not content. The free version plays a single playlist fine for casual use. The paid upgrade adds support for multiple playlists and electronic program guides at once, a favorites list you build yourself, and the ability to hide channel groups you never watch. That last one matters more than it sounds: apps that hold a very large channel list in memory can slow down or crash, so trimming what's visible keeps things stable. None of this is content. TiviMate displays whatever your IPTV line sends it; it does not supply channels, movies, or shows on its own.
What does the IPTV line charge for?
The line is the part that actually streams. With IP4KTV that means access to 54,000+ live channels and 219,577+ VOD titles across 190+ countries, set up through a portal or Xtream Codes login TiviMate connects to in a few steps. That login, not the app, is what you're really paying a monthly rate for. Our 12-month plan runs $10 a month, billed as $120 total, with 1 to 5 simultaneous connections depending on plan and unlimited installs across your own devices. A $5, 24-hour trial lets you test the line inside TiviMate before paying for a full term.
How do you set the two up together?
Install TiviMate from the Firestick or Android TV app store first. When it asks for a playlist, enter the Xtream Codes details your IPTV line provides: server address, username, and password, or a single M3U link. Activation on our end takes about 5 minutes after signup. Once connected, use TiviMate's group settings to hide channel categories you don't watch; a smaller visible list loads faster and stays stable longer. If picture quality looks soft, check whether TiviMate is set to a 4K or 1080p profile and match it to your connection speed.
Why do prices for the same setup vary so much online?
Search results for a tivimate iptv subscription mix app pricing, line pricing, and bundled reseller offers into one number, which is why quoted prices swing wildly. A fair comparison separates the two charges every time: what the app costs once, and what the line costs monthly. Judge the line the way you'd judge any recurring bill, on trial access, refund terms, and uptime, not on how the number looks next to a screenshot of channel logos. IP4KTV publishes its own figures rather than a bundled estimate: $10 a month on the 12-month plan, a $5 trial, and a 7-day money-back window on paid plans.

What the difference adds up to
$10/month on the 12-month term
$70–$130/month
What cable costs you extra over 12 months
$720–$1,440
IP4KTV figures are the real price for each term (1 connection) — not a flat rate multiplied out. Shorter terms cost more per month than the 12-month plan; nothing auto-renews on any of them.
Verified service facts
Confirmed
Whether a screen rotates with the device is normally controlled by a system-level orientation lock rather than a setting inside most TV-focused player apps, which is why toggling in-app settings often has no effect on a mobile device stuck in the wrong orientation.
Confirmed
What a viewer has searched for and what they have actually watched are typically stored as two separate history lists within an app, so clearing one does not clear the other — a viewer wanting a full privacy reset needs to check both settings.
Confirmed
A player app denied storage/file access permission on first launch can fail to import a local M3U file without always showing a clear error, since the failure happens at the file-picker level rather than inside the app's own logic — worth checking app permissions in device settings before assuming a playlist file itself is bad.

Treat a tivimate iptv subscription as two decisions, not one: pick the app tier for how you want to organize channels, then pick the line for what content it actually delivers. Judging them together is how buyers end up confused about price.

Editor’s pick
Picked by Marcus Hale · Founder & Product Lead
I'd start with TiviMate's free tier and our $5, 24-hour trial before paying for anything else. If the pairing works the way you want, the 12-month line at $10 a month and TiviMate's paid upgrade are both worth the money on their own terms.
