TiviMate is one of the most popular IPTV player apps for Android TV and Amazon Firestick — and TiviMate Premium is its paid upgrade that unlocks the full feature set. This guide covers exactly what Premium includes, how to get it, and why you still need a separate IPTV subscription to watch live TV.
Quick answer: TiviMate (the app) is free. TiviMate Premium is a one-time lifetime or annual purchase (check current pricing on Google Play) and adds multiple playlists, catch-up TV, and recording. The EPG (TV guide) works in the free version too. You still need an IPTV provider — try Tivimate IPTV free for 24 hours.
What Is TiviMate Premium?
TiviMate is an IPTV player — it plays your live TV channels but does not include any channels itself. Think of it like VLC or Kodi: a player that needs content. TiviMate Premium is an optional in-app purchase, sold as a lifetime or annual option, that unlocks the full version of the app. The app is published by the developer Armobsoft FZE; this site is not the app developer.

How to Buy TiviMate Premium
TiviMate Premium is sold as a one-time lifetime or annual purchase — check current pricing on Google Play before you buy — and is processed through Google Play. Here is exactly how to do it on each device type:
On Android TV or Google TV (easiest method)
- Open TiviMate on your Android TV or Google TV device
- Go to Settings → General → Get Premium
- Sign in with your Google account when prompted
- Confirm the purchase in Google Play
- Premium activates instantly — all features unlock immediately
On Firestick (buy via phone — recommended)
- First, install TiviMate on your Firestick using the Downloader app
- On your Android phone, open the Google Play Store
- Search for TiviMate IPTV Player and open the app listing
- Complete the Premium purchase
- Sign into TiviMate on your Firestick with the same Google account used for the purchase
- TiviMate Premium activates automatically on your Firestick
Why buy via phone for Firestick? Google Play payments are easier on Android phone than navigating with a remote. The Premium license links to your Google account, so it automatically works on any device signed into that account.
On ONN 4K Plus or Android TV Box
- Open TiviMate on your ONN 4K Plus or Android TV box
- Go to Settings → General → Get Premium
- Complete the Google Play purchase (you must be signed into a Google account)
- Premium unlocks immediately
Note: If TiviMate isn't in the Play Store on your Firestick, use the TiviMate Downloader code to sideload the APK first.
TiviMate Premium vs TiviMate APK / Mod APK
Searching for a "TiviMate Premium APK" or "TiviMate mod APK" is risky. Cracked versions of TiviMate Premium are illegal, frequently contain malware, and often don't work correctly. The official upgrade from the developer is the only safe choice.
You Still Need an IPTV Subscription
TiviMate Premium is the player. To actually watch 55,000+ live channels, NFL, NBA, Premier League, and 180,000+ movies — you need an IPTV provider. That's where Tivimate IPTV comes in.
Once you have your Tivimate IPTV credentials (Server URL, Username, Password), add them inside TiviMate under Add Playlist → Xtream Codes API. Your full channel library loads in seconds.
