A direct comparison of TELOS and TiviMate: find out which app fits your device, playlist and daily use. First check the supported platform, then the access method, and then convenience features and price.

TELOS is our own app and appears first as our recommendation. This is a clearly disclosed product placement, not an independent test win. Store ratings are shown separately using their actual values.

How to choose for your device

Before installing, decide what you actually need: an M3U link or Xtream access, remote control or touch input, EPG and the convenience features you care about. A feature in a store description may not be available on every platform. An undocumented feature is not necessarily unsupported by the app.

Website operator’s own app

Who is TELOS for?

TELOS may suit you if you want to use your own playlist in a clear interface and combine personal profiles, a watchlist and eligible downloads on iPhone or iPad. Up to five local profiles let you personalize the selection there. Taste recognition runs locally on supported Apple versions; this does not imply an identical cross-platform recommendation service. TV versions are available for Apple TV and compatible Fire TV devices. Check the feature on your device: downloads on iPhone and iPad do not mean downloads are promised on Fire TV.

When is TELOS a good fit?

Our own recommendation appears first because TELOS is operated by this website’s owner. Its personal profiles and eligible offline downloads on iPhone and iPad are reasons to take a closer look. If you need a native LG webOS, Samsung Tizen or Quest app, this profile does not promise availability. Playback requires payment after the trial; check current terms before buying. Which app suits your daily use depends on your device, sources and the features you actually need.

Who is TiviMate for?

Google Play describes TiviMate as intended for Android TV devices and remote-control use. It may suit you if you want to manage several M3U, Xtream or Stalker sources and use EPG, favorites, catch-up, recording or multiview. This feature list comes from the official product description and is not an independent playback test. The store says the app is not optimized for phones and tablets.

When is TiviMate a good fit?

Consider TiviMate if your main device is an Android TV with a remote and you need the listed source formats or TV features. Compare the subscription and lifetime terms shown at checkout. For a phone, iPad, Fire TV or Vega device, do not infer support solely from the Android TV listing or an APK download; check compatibility for the exact device.

Setting up TELOS: what to check first

Install TELOS from your device’s official store and choose the access method used by your own source. Xtream and M3U are confirmed on iPhone and iPad. Enter your own credentials, load the content and first check live playback. EPG requires compatible programme data. If you want downloads, check eligible Xtream content, your permission and local storage. Then set up personal profiles and your watchlist. On Fire TV, first check device compatibility in the Amazon listing; the TV version does not have the same feature set as the mobile app.

Setting up TiviMate: what to check first

Install the app from its official Google Play listing or use the Android TV APK route offered on tivimate.com. Check the publisher Armobsoft FZE and package name ar.tvplayer.tv. Then add the access method supported by your provider: M3U, Xtream Codes or Stalker Portal. For catch-up, EPG, recording or multiview, your source and specific content must also support the feature.

Match the exact app ID and official developer; do not conflate similarly named apps.
Check your device, operating system and the input format used by your source.
Using a source you are authorized to access, test live TV, EPG and the features you need on the actual device.
Before buying, read the trial, renewal, device limits and in-app purchase terms in your country’s store.

An IPTV player is playback software. This comparison does not include a channel package or access to films. You provide your own source and the rights to use it. Do not post playlist URLs containing credentials in the forum.

Frequently asked questions

Does TELOS or TiviMate include TV channels?

This comparison covers player software. Content and usage rights come from your own source; installing a player does not buy a channel package.

Which player is better: TELOS or TiviMate?

The right choice depends on your device, playlist format and required features. Compare the documented details for both apps and check unclear points with the developer. A high store rating does not guarantee that a feature works on your device.
