IPTV providers compared: price, channels and free trial
Every provider in this table sells the same kind of product: an IPTV subscription that you load into a player app such as TiviMate or IPTV Smarters Pro with an M3U link or Xtream Codes login. What changes is the size of the library, the price per plan, and how easy it is to test before you pay.

The 6 best IPTV services in 2026, reviewed
1. Fireview TV — best IPTV service overall
Fireview TV puts 20,300 live channels and 171,000 films and series in one subscription, with an EPG program guide and VOD on the same login. You can browse the full channel list before you pay, so you know your local and sports channels are there instead of hoping they are.
It is also the easiest provider here to test and to set up. The trial is Free, the 1-month plan is $15.99, and the 12-month plan brings the price down to $6.67 a month. Step-by-step setup guides cover Firestick, Android TV, Samsung and LG smart TVs, Apple TV, iPhone and iPad, Windows, Mac and MAG boxes.
- Works with the apps people already use: TiviMate, IPTV Smarters Pro and HotPlayer, via Xtream Codes or M3U.
- Clear pricing: 1, 3, 6 and 12-month plans, shown in your own currency, so you can start short and commit only once you are happy.
- Try first: the trial is Free, so you can check picture quality on your own connection before paying.

2. GoCheap IPTV — lowest lifetime price
GoCheap IPTV advertises over 22,000 channels and 40,000 films and series, with plans from $12 for one month to $70 for a year. Its $200 lifetime plan is the cheapest lifetime option in this list, and a 24-hour free trial is offered.
The trade-off is the lifetime model itself: you pay years in advance to a provider you cannot yet judge. Its VOD library is also smaller than SofaIPTV's.
3. SofaIPTV — biggest VOD library of the alternatives
SofaIPTV lists 22,000+ live channels and 80,000+ films and series, the largest on-demand catalogue among the five alternatives. Plans run from $13 a month to $70 a year, with a $220 lifetime option and a 24-hour trial.
When we checked its website for this article, it returned an error page instead of the store, so confirm it is up and taking orders before paying.
4. VocoTV — multi-room households
VocoTV offers 17,000+ channels and 40,000+ films and series, with multi-connection plans aimed at families watching in several rooms. It is one of the more expensive options: $15 for a month and $120 for a year.
A trial is available. Some users report buffering after several months of use, so the trial matters less than how it performs later.
5. OTTOcean — widest plan range
OTTOcean lists 20,000+ channels and sells the most plan lengths here: 1, 3, 6, 12 and 24 months, plus a $365 lifetime plan. The 12-month plan is $95.
The downsides reported for it are peak-hour buffering on Wi-Fi, uneven support during outages, and adult categories that families need to lock with a parental PIN.
6. Krooz Tv — money-back guarantee
Krooz Tv lists 16,000+ live channels and 40,000+ films and series, from $15 a month to $85 a year. It is the only alternative here that advertises a 7-day money-back guarantee, next to a 24-hour trial and up to five connections.
Its EPG can drift on some regional channels, and VOD search is slow on older streaming sticks.
IPTV subscription prices: which plan length is best value?
With almost every IPTV provider, the longer the plan, the lower the monthly cost. Here is how the Fireview TV plans compare:
| Fireview TV plan | You pay | Works out at |
|---|---|---|
| 1 month | $15.99 | $15.99 a month |
| 3 months | $29.99 | $10.00 a month |
| 6 months | $49.99 | $8.33 a month |
| 12 months | $79.99 | $6.67 a month |
A sensible order is: take the trial, then one month, then move to 6 or 12 months once you are sure the service suits your devices and your connection. All current options are on the IPTV plans page.
IPTV free trial: how to test a provider before you buy
A trial only helps if you use it to test the things that usually go wrong. In 24 hours, check:
- Your channels. Open the local news, sports and international channels you actually watch, not just the first ones in the list.
- Evening performance. Watch a live channel between 8 and 10 pm, when servers are busiest. That is when weak providers buffer.
- Zapping speed. Switch channels ten times and see how long each one takes to start.
- The EPG. Make sure the program guide matches what is actually on screen.
- VOD. Start a film and skip forward; it should resume within a few seconds.
- Every device. Log in on the TV, the Firestick and the phone you plan to use.
You can start the Fireview TV test from the free trial page; the trial is Free.
How to choose an IPTV service provider
Channel counts in the tens of thousands say little on their own. These points decide whether a subscription is worth it:
- Simultaneous connections: one connection means one screen at a time. Families need a plan that allows several.
- App support: the provider should give Xtream Codes and M3U logins that work in TiviMate, IPTV Smarters Pro and VLC.
- EPG and catch-up: an accurate guide makes live TV usable; catch-up lets you replay missed programmes.
- Refund and trial policy: a trial or money-back window shows the provider is willing to be tested.
- Payment and support: a working contact channel matters most the day your login stops working.
- Plan length: short plans cost more per month but limit your risk; avoid paying for years with a provider you have not tried.
How to set up an IPTV subscription on Firestick with TiviMate
TiviMate is not in the Amazon Appstore, so on a Fire TV Stick you install it with the Downloader app. Setup takes about ten minutes:
- On the Fire TV home screen, search for Downloader and install it.
- Go to Settings → My Fire TV → Developer Options → Install unknown apps and turn Downloader on. If Developer Options is missing, open My Fire TV → About and click your device name seven times.
- Open Downloader and enter the code
272483, then select Install. - Open TiviMate, choose Add playlist, then Xtream Codes.
- Enter the server address, username and password from your welcome email, and wait for the channels and EPG to load.
Using another device? The full Firestick TiviMate guide has a screenshot for every step, and there are guides for Android TV, Samsung and LG TVs, Apple TV and MAG as well.
