TiviMate cost is one of the first questions new users ask. Let me save you some time: TiviMate is free to download and use. This TiviMate cost guide breaks down free vs paid features. If you just want to watch live TV with one IPTV provider, you do not need to spend a penny.
But if you want recordings, multiple playlists, or the full TV guide — that is what Premium is for. And at $4.99 a year, it is genuinely one of the best value purchases in the IPTV world.
TiviMate Cost at a Glance

No monthly option. No lifetime plan. Just $4.99 once a year — about $0.42 per month. Less than a single coffee, less than a bus fare, less than what most streaming services charge per day.
Free vs Premium — Every Difference
What Each Premium Feature Actually Does
Unlimited Playlists
The free version locks you to one IPTV provider. If you subscribe to two services, or want to add a free community playlist alongside your paid one, you need Premium. For example, you could have your main provider for English channels and a second provider for international content — both active in TiviMate at the same time, with a unified channel list and EPG.
DVR Recordings
Record any live channel to your device storage or a USB drive. Schedule single recordings or entire series from the EPG guide. Record one channel while watching another. No other IPTV player at this price point offers DVR functionality — even apps that cost 10x more often lack it.
Multi-Screen View
Watch up to 4 channels simultaneously on one screen. This is the feature that makes TiviMate Premium a no-brainer for sports fans. During a busy match day, you can monitor the Premier League, Champions League, NFL, and your local sports channel all at once.
Full 7-Day EPG
The free version shows a limited 2-day guide. Premium gives you the full week with show descriptions, episode information, and the ability to schedule recordings and set reminders directly from the guide view.
5 Devices
One Premium subscription covers up to 5 devices simultaneously. Your living room TV, bedroom TV, tablet, and a backup device — all covered for one $4.99 annual payment.
Is TiviMate Premium Worth It?
Here is an honest assessment based on how you use TiviMate:
- One provider, just watching live TV: Free version is sufficient. Skip Premium.
- Two or more IPTV providers: Premium pays for itself immediately with unlimited playlists.
- Want to record live TV: Premium is your only option — and at $4.99/year, it is cheaper than a single month of any cloud DVR service.
- Sports fan watching multiple games: Multi-screen view alone justifies the price.
- Multiple TVs in the house: One subscription for 5 devices is exceptional value.
- Heavy EPG user: The full 7-day guide with descriptions and reminders is a major quality-of-life upgrade.
How Does TiviMate Pricing Compare to Alternatives?
TiviMate Premium is the cheapest paid option that includes both DVR and multi-screen support. IMPlayer costs more per year (unless you buy lifetime), and the free alternatives lack recording and multi-screen entirely. For what it offers, $4.99/year is exceptional value.
How to Buy TiviMate Premium
You cannot purchase Premium from the Google Play Store or Amazon App Store. The purchase goes through the TiviMate website. Here is exactly how:
- Install TiviMate — use Downloader code 272483 on Firestick or the Google Play Store on Android TV
- Open TiviMate → Settings → Account → Sign In
- Create a free account at tivimate.com (email + password)
- Visit tivimate.com on your phone or computer browser — log in and purchase Premium ($4.99)
- Premium activates automatically on your device within minutes — no activation code needed
Is There a Lifetime Plan?
No. As of 2026, TiviMate only offers the annual plan at $4.99/year. There is no lifetime option. Given the price, this is not a problem — even 10 years of Premium costs less than $50 total. If the developer ever introduces a lifetime plan, we will update this page.
How Premium Works Across Multiple Devices
One Premium subscription supports up to 5 devices. To activate Premium on additional devices:
- Install TiviMate on the new device (Firestick, Android TV, etc.)
- Open Settings → Account → Sign In — use the same email and password you created on tivimate.com
- Premium activates automatically — the device counts toward your 5-device limit
You can manage your devices from the tivimate.com account dashboard, including removing devices you no longer use.
