TiviMate Subscription Explained: Price, Lifetime Plan & How to Buy

Home / TiviMate Subscription

App Guide Updated August 2026 8 min read

TiviMate is one of the most popular IPTV player apps, but its subscription setup confuses a lot of first-time users. This guide covers exactly what the TiviMate premium subscription costs, whether the TiviMate lifetime subscription is worth it, how to buy a TiviMate premium account the correct way, and — the part most guides skip — what TiviMate actually does and doesn’t give you.

⚡ Quick Answer

A TiviMate subscription (TiviMate Premium) is a paid upgrade for the app itself — it costs about $9.99/year or $33.99 for a lifetime license, purchased only through the official TiviMate Companion app on Google Play. It unlocks features like multiple playlists, DVR recording, and multi-view. It does not include any TV channels — TiviMate is a player, not a channel provider, so you still need a separate IPTV subscription to actually watch anything.

TiviMate Subscription vs. IPTV Subscription — They’re Not the Same Thing

This is the single most common source of confusion, and clearing it up will save you money and frustration. TiviMate has two completely separate “subscriptions” involved, and they do different jobs.

1. TiviMate Premium Subscription

Sold by TiviMate itself. This is a feature unlock for the app — multiple playlists, an enhanced program guide, multi-view, DVR recording. It changes how the app behaves. It does not connect you to any channels on its own.

2. IPTV Subscription

Sold by an IPTV provider (like IPTV Service4K). This is what actually gives you the live channels, movies, and series to load into TiviMate in the first place. Without this, TiviMate has nothing to play.

Why this matters: A lot of people buy TiviMate Premium expecting it to include channels, then are confused when the app opens to an empty guide. TiviMate is the remote control — the IPTV subscription is the TV signal.

Already have TiviMate and need channels to load into it? That’s the part we handle.

What Does a TiviMate Premium Account Actually Unlock?

The free version of TiviMate is genuinely usable, but a TiviMate premium account removes several real limitations for anyone using IPTV as a daily driver.

  • Multiple playlists — load more than one IPTV source into the same app instead of switching between them manually.
  • Enhanced EPG (program guide) — a cleaner, more TV-like guide that updates automatically.
  • Multi-view — watch several channels at once in a grid, useful during overlapping live sports.
  • DVR / recording — record live channels to watch later, where supported by your provider.
  • Cloud sync — back up your channel groups and settings so switching devices doesn’t mean starting over.
  • Up to 5 devices — one premium license covers 5 devices, though only 5 can be active at the same time.

TiviMate Subscription Cost: Annual vs. Lifetime

The TiviMate subscription cost comes down to two options, both purchased directly from TiviMate — not from IPTV providers, resellers, or third-party sites.

PlanPriceTrialBest For
Annual~$9.99/year7-day free trialTesting Premium before committing
Lifetime~$33.99 one-timeNo trialLong-term users — no renewals, locks in the price

Both plans cover up to 5 devices under one account. If you’ve never used Premium before, start with the annual plan and its free trial — the TiviMate lifetime subscription has no trial period, so it’s a better fit once you already know you’ll keep using the app long-term. TiviMate’s pricing has increased over time, so locking in lifetime access sooner rather than later tends to be the better value for committed users.

How Do I Have to Buy TiviMate Premium?

This trips up a lot of first-time users: Premium cannot be purchased from inside the main TiviMate app. It’s handled through a separate, official companion app.

1

Download the TiviMate Companion App

Search “TiviMate Companion” on the Google Play Store. This is the only official way to buy Premium — it’s free to download.

2

Sign in with your TiviMate account

Use the same account linked to your main TiviMate app so the upgrade applies correctly.

3

Choose Annual or Lifetime

Pick the plan that fits — annual with a free trial, or lifetime for a one-time payment.

4

Pay securely through Google Play

Payment is processed through your Google account — credit card or other saved payment method.

5

Open TiviMate — Premium activates automatically

No manual code entry needed. Log in with the same account on up to 5 devices.

Watch out for: TiviMate does not sell Premium through third-party websites. If a site outside the Google Play Store is selling you a “TiviMate Premium key,” treat it as a red flag.

You Have TiviMate Premium — Now What Actually Fills the Guide?

Once TiviMate (free or Premium) is set up, you still need to load an IPTV subscription into it to get live channels, sports, movies, and series. This is a completely separate purchase from anything TiviMate sells.

IPTV Service4K works directly with TiviMate — you get a username, password, or M3U link, enter it into TiviMate’s playlist settings, and every channel in your plan appears in the guide. No conflict between the two, no extra setup complexity.
