How much does IPTV cost? Every price, and the right term for an uneven year

Written by Televixy Team · First published September 2, 2026 · Revised October 1, 2026

A Televixy subscription costs $15 for one month on one connection, $69 for a full year on one connection, and $239 for a year with five connections at once. In between sit 13 other prices, set by two choices: how long you buy, and how many screens can play at the same moment. Most price guides assume a viewer who watches every evening of every week. This one is written for weeks that do not run to a pattern: rotas that flip between days and nights, a season of late finishes, a few months awake at 03:00 with a newborn. The question for those weeks is less “what is cheapest” and more “which term matches the way my months actually go”.

The full price list

Four terms, four connection tiers, 16 prices in US dollars. Everything else is identical on every one of them.

Spread across the term, a single connection comes to $15.00 a month on the one-month plan, $9.67 on three months, $7.50 on six and $5.75 on a year. With two connections the same four figures are $25.00, $16.33, $12.50 and $9.92.

What does not change with the price: the 120,000+ films and series, every one of the 25,000+ live channels across 60+ countries, picture in 4K, FHD and HD, the program guide (EPG), catch-up on the channels that carry it, 24/7 support on WhatsApp, and a 7-day money-back guarantee. A longer term or an extra connection buys more time or more simultaneous screens. It never buys a bigger line-up.

Paying month by month against paying for a year

If you watch all year and buy one month at a time, the year costs a good deal more than buying it in one go. Here is the gap on each tier.

Those gaps are real, but they only apply to somebody who needs all twelve months. Two thresholds, which happen to hold on every tier, are more useful when your year is uneven:

• Four single months cost less than a year; five cost more. On one connection, four months at $15 come to $60 against $69, while five come to $75. If you expect to watch in no more than four separate months of the next twelve, buying them one at a time is cheaper.
• Two 3-month terms cost less than a year; three cost more. Two quarters on one connection come to $58, three to $87. Two separate blocks of three months each, with nothing in between, is the cheapest way to cover half a year that falls in two pieces.

Because no plan renews by itself, the months between terms cost nothing. Nothing is charged again unless you buy another term, and there is no subscription to remember to cancel.

Matching the term to an irregular week

A few common shapes of year, priced on one connection:

The short terms cost more per month, and that extra is the price of not committing to months you might not use. For a nurse who knows the next rotation is twelve weeks of nights, the 3-month term is a clean fit. For a warehouse worker whose shift pattern changes with little notice and who watches every week regardless, the year is simply the lower bill. And for anyone unsure what the next quarter holds, a single month at $15 is a cheap way to find out before deciding.

There is nothing to arrange weeks ahead, either. If a block of nights starts on Monday, ordering on Sunday is soon enough: activation takes under 15 minutes on WhatsApp.

How many connections a household on different shifts needs

A connection is one stream playing at a time. The same login can sit on the living-room TV, a phone and a tablet; the plan decides how many of them can play at the same moment. So the number to count is not people or devices, but the busiest moment of a normal week.

• Opposite shifts that never overlap. One partner watches from 08:00 to 10:00 after a night on the ward, the other from 19:00 to 22:00 after a day job. They are never watching at the same time, so one connection covers both, for $15 a month or $69 a year.
• Opposite shifts with shared days off. If both are home on Sundays and like to watch different things in different rooms, that is two streams at once. Two connections cost $25 a month or $119 a year, which is $10 a month or $50 a year more than one.
• A house with a night worker, an early riser and a teenager. The overlap usually comes in the evening, when the night worker is up before a shift and everyone else is home. Three connections, $159 a year, covers three screens at once.
• A larger household with four or five screens busy at once. Five connections run $239 a year, which comes to $47.80 per connection, against $53 each on three and $59.50 each on two.

If you are not sure, buy for the overlap you know happens rather than the one that might. If the household changes later, message us on WhatsApp and we will go through the options.

Costs that are not the subscription

A device, only if you lack one

Many people need nothing new. Smart TVs, phones, tablets and computers run player apps already: Smart IPTV is in the Samsung store for 2022 and later TVs (Tizen 6.5 or newer) and needs webOS 3.0 or newer on LG, and on Apple devices the free Smarters app is “Smarters Player Lite”. If your TV is older, a streaming stick or Android TV box is a one-off purchase. Check before you buy: the Fire TV Stick 4K Select runs Vega OS and cannot sideload apps, so the Downloader method in our guides applies only to Fire OS models, and Roku has no sideloading at all. The setup guides list what works on each device, and our box guide compares the hardware.

Headphones for watching quietly

If you watch while others sleep, a pair of headphones may be the most useful thing you buy. Bluetooth headphones pair with plenty of streaming sticks and smart TVs through the device’s own settings; on a phone or tablet, a wired pair works too. If you already own a pair, this costs nothing.

Player apps, mostly free

TiviMate’s free version plays your channels and guide. TiviMate Premium is optional: it adds recording, multi-view and multiple playlists, and favorites and hiding channel groups are Premium features as well. That is useful if you want to record a program that airs while you sleep, but it is sold by the app’s developer, not by us, and you can watch without it. The Smarters apps have free versions, and Smart IPTV asks for a one-time fee per television. None of that money reaches Televixy, and no player holds any channels until you add your login. Our player guide compares them.

A network cable, sometimes

If the TV is close enough to the router, a cable between the two removes more live-stream stutter than any new hardware. It is a small one-off cost and worth trying before anything bigger.

What you will not pay

• No setup fee and no activation fee.
• No automatic renewal: a term ends, and nothing is charged unless you buy the next one.
• No contract and nothing to cancel.
• No lifetime plan. The longest term is a year; nobody can honestly promise permanent access to television.

A sensible order to spend in

1. Use the 24-hour free trial at the hour you normally watch, not on a convenient evening. If you get home at 01:00, open it at 01:00.
2. Buy a short first term, a month or three, while you learn the player and the guide.
3. Then match the term to the shape of your year, using the thresholds above: five or more months of viewing points to the year, two separate quarters point to two 3-month terms.
4. Count connections at the overlap, not by the number of people or screens in the house.

Payment options are set out in the WhatsApp chat when you order, because what works differs by country. Whatever you use, never type card details as plain text into a chat, with us or anyone else. If the service does not suit you, the 7-day money-back guarantee applies to every paid plan.
