The right TiviMate alternative depends on your device, since TiviMate is built for Android TV. On Android TV or a Fire OS stick, XCIPTV and Televizo list similar features. On iPhone and iPad, GSE SMART IPTV PRO and Smarters Player Lite are options. On Samsung or LG TVs, try Smart IPTV or IPTV Smarters; on a computer, IPTV Smarters, Kodi or VLC. Each is only a player, so your provider's login moves with you and your favorites may not.
TiviMate is an IPTV player published by Armobsoft FZE, and this page is about replacing it. We make none of these apps, and no developer pays us. We sell a subscription, Tivimate IPTV, which is unrelated to the TiviMate app despite the name. We have not tested these players, so nothing here is a ranking: every fact comes from the developer’s listing as we read it in November 2026. For the wider field, see IPTV players compared.
Why Look for a TiviMate Alternative?
- Your device cannot run it. The developer says TiviMate is designed for Android TV and is not optimized for phones or tablets. Fire TV models on Vega OS cannot install it either.
- You do not want Premium. Recording, catch-up, multiview and more than one playlist sit behind the paid upgrade. See TiviMate Premium.
- You want one app on every screen. A household with an iPhone, a laptop and a TV needs something TiviMate does not offer.
If the app has simply stopped working, try the TiviMate fixes first. A new player will not repair a dead login.

TiviMate Alternatives for Android TV and Firestick
XCIPTV is the closest match on paper. Its listing names Android TV and D-pad navigation, a guide for Xtream and M3U logins, catch-up, reminders and scheduled recording to internal or external storage, with no mention of a paid tier. Our XCIPTV page has setup.
Televizo names multiple playlists, a guide, catch-up, Chromecast and parental controls. See our Televizo setup guide.
OTT Navigator IPTVneeds care. Today’s listing describes a phone-first app, and older write-ups describe a different developer’s TV-focused app. Our OTT Navigator IPTV page sets out what we could not confirm.
On a Firestick there is no Google Play, so check each player’s official route first, and check your model against IPTV on a Firestick.
We have left out Perfect Player, which older lists including this one recommended. The Google Play address we had returned not-found and we found no listing from a developer, so we could not confirm anything about the app you would get today.
TiviMate Alternatives for iPhone, iPad and Apple TV
GSE SMART IPTV PRO lists Xtream Codes, M3U and XMLTV guides, and costs $2.99 on the App Store, with a separate Apple TV listing. One App Store review complains of support email bouncing, so read recent reviews first. Smarters Player Lite, from the IPTV Smarters download page, covers iPhone, iPad and Apple TV. Our guides to IPTV on Apple TV and IPTV on iPhone have more.
For Samsung, LG and Computers
TiviMate has no version for Samsung or LG TVs. Smart IPTV runs on them for a one-time fee, and its developer says not to pay if you have no channels; our Smart IPTV page has the steps. IPTV Smarters lists LG and Samsung store apps too, plus Windows and Mac installers. See IPTV Smarters vs TiviMate. On a computer, Kodi with its IPTV add-on gives you a guide but no live recording, and VLC plays streams. VLC’s page mentions no TV guide, so treat it as a way to check a channel. To keep TiviMate itself, read using TiviMate on a PC.
What Changes When You Switch?
Your channels move because they belong to your provider and not to the app, so the same login should work in any player that takes that format. Expect to redo favorites, groups and guide settings. If you paid for TiviMate Premium, it stays with TiviMate. And check how the new app treats the guide: a player can list one and still show it as a simple now-and-next view, not a grid. Try the free version of anything before you pay for it.
Beware of any “premium unlocked” copy of TiviMate or of another player. It is not an alternative, it is not the developer’s software, and it would ask for your login. And none of the listings we read offers channels, so treat any app that bundles them with suspicion.
You Still Need a Provider
None of these apps includes channels. Tivimate IPTV is the subscription we sell, and our Xtream Codes login works in players that accept that format. Choose by your device first, then judge any provider using the checks to run before you buy.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best TiviMate alternative?
It depends on the device, which is why we rank nothing. We have not measured these apps against each other. On Android TV look at XCIPTV or Televizo; on iPhone or iPad, GSE SMART IPTV PRO or Smarters Player Lite; on a Samsung or LG TV, Smart IPTV or IPTV Smarters.
Is there a free alternative to TiviMate?
Kodi and VLC are free and open source. XCIPTV and OTT Navigator IPTV show no price but contain ads. None includes channels: every one of these apps needs a playlist from a provider.
Is there a TiviMate for iPhone or Windows?
The developer describes TiviMate as designed for Android TV, and we know of no Apple or Windows version. On an iPhone use an App Store player. On Windows use a desktop player, or read our page on running TiviMate on a PC.
Will my favorites move to the new player?
Do not count on it. Expect to add your playlist to the new player and rebuild favorites and groups there. Your channels and guide come from the playlist, so those load as before.
Can I use Tivimate IPTV with another player?
Yes. Our login is in Xtream Codes format, which most of these players accept. Tivimate IPTV is our subscription and the TiviMate app is someone else's software, so changing one does not affect the other.
