TiviMate Premium: Cost, Lifetime or subscription?

TiviMate Premium costs cannot be stated as one fixed official price for September 2026. Reports from different years cite approximately 26.99 to 39.99 US dollars for a Lifetime licence; in June 2026, 33.99 US dollars for up to five devices was reported. Whether the Lifetime option is still currently offered has not been confirmed with certainty. The key reference is therefore the purchase screen in the TiviMate Companion App or Google Play. Premium unlocks, among other things, multiple playlists, an enhanced TV guide, recordings and additional management features.

What the free version can do and which devices TiviMate runs on

The free version provides basic playback with one playlist. That may be sufficient for simple use with a single channel list. TiviMate runs on Android TV, Google TV, Amazon Fire TV or Fire OS and Android boxes such as the Nvidia Shield. One example is TiviMate for Android TV.

The official app is called TiviMate IPTV Player and comes from AR Mobile Dev. The Google Play package is ar.tvplayer.tv. The app is designed for TVs and TV devices, not for smartphones or tablets with touch controls. There is no version for iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, Samsung with Tizen or LG with webOS.

The separate TiviMate Companion App is used for purchasing and account management. Its Google Play package is ar.tvplayer.companion. Both apps were listed on Google Play in September 2026.

What TiviMate Premium unlocks

Premium is aimed primarily at households with multiple playlists or higher demands for TV management. The listed features include:

Which features are useful in each case depends on your provider and the devices you use. TiviMate itself contains no channels. The channels come from your own legal source.

How much does TiviMate Premium cost?

No verified official price for September 2026 is available. No official euro price was found either. Google Play normally displays the price in the relevant local currency. General figures in US dollars therefore cannot be treated directly as the final price in Germany.

The available price figures are reports, not a current official price list:

Monthly or annual figures such as 4.99 USD per month or 9.99 USD per year appear on unofficial websites. There is no primary source for them. These figures are therefore unconfirmed and should not be treated as current TiviMate Premium costs.

To check the current price, open the TiviMate Companion App on an Android smartphone or Android tablet and open the purchase screen. Before paying, check the amount displayed there in the local currency.

Lifetime or subscription: what is known?

Historical reports refer to a Lifetime option. Whether it is still offered in September 2026 could not be verified. The exact distinction between Lifetime, an annual price and a monthly model also remains unclear without a current official purchase screen.

If a website shows a fixed term or a specific price, check whether the information comes directly from Google Play or the Companion App. Unofficial websites may display outdated or inaccurate prices. What matters is the option actually offered in the official purchase process.

Buying TiviMate Premium: step by step

  1. Check the official app TiviMate IPTV Player from AR Mobile Dev. Similar names are not sufficient proof.
  2. Install the official TiviMate Companion App from Google Play on an Android smartphone or Android tablet.
  3. Use the Companion App with the Google account that should be used for payment.
  4. Select the available Premium purchase and check the current amount before confirming.
  5. Open TiviMate on the TV device and sign in with the same account.
  6. Check whether Premium is activated on the TV device.

For using TiviMate on Fire TV, this process is particularly important. Fire TV does not have Google Play. The purchase is therefore not made directly on the Fire TV device, but through the Companion App on an Android smartphone or Android tablet. The same account is then used in TiviMate on Fire TV.

How many devices can you use with Premium?

Community sources cite up to five devices per Premium purchase. No current official manufacturer statement with a date was found. The figure should therefore be treated as widely reported but not officially confirmed. The same TiviMate account is required for multiple devices. Before using it on more than five devices, check the current notice in the purchase process.

Beware of fake apps and clone websites

Google Play also lists apps with similar names, such as TIVIMATE PLUS or TiviMato Player Pro. These are not automatically the official TiviMate app. The official developer is AR Mobile Dev, and the player app package is ar.tvplayer.tv. An overview is provided by the TiviMate profile with store rating.

Many websites also use the name TiviMate to sell IPTV channel subscriptions from third parties. The legal situation of such offers is often unclear. TiviMate itself is only a player and does not provide channels. Premium should be purchased exclusively through the official app and Companion App. The comparison of IPTV players also provides context compared with other applications.

Is TiviMate Premium worth the money?

For a single playlist and basic playback, the free version may be enough. A Premium purchase is more relevant if you need to manage multiple playlists or if recordings, catch-up, favourites, channel groups, Multiview and backup are important.

A purchase is not essential. There are other free IPTV players and alternative apps with partly similar purposes. Anyone wanting to compare specific TiviMate experiences can find different use cases in the forum discussion about the Premium upgrade. The decision depends mainly on the features you need and the current price shown on the purchase screen.
