IPTV subscription: plans, prices and how to buy one safely
Updated October 6, 2026 · By the Golden Gate IPTV team
Quick answer
An IPTV subscription is a prepaid plan that gives you live TV channels and on-demand movies and series over the internet, on devices you already own. Plans start at $7 for one day and $20 for one month, and a one-year plan works out to about $6.42 a month.
An IPTV subscription is the simplest way to watch live TV and on-demand movies and series without a cable box or a satellite dish. You pay once for the period you choose, receive a login within minutes and start watching in an app on the devices you already own.
This guide explains what an IPTV subscription includes, what it costs, how to compare plans and how to buy one safely. It is part of our wider guide to a reliable IPTV service, and it links to our IPTV USA and premium IPTV guides.
What does an IPTV subscription include?
Every plan we sell includes the same core features, so you pick a plan by length and number of screens, not by what you can watch.
| Feature | What you get |
|---|---|
| Live TV | Thousands of live channels grouped by genre: sports, news, kids, movies, documentaries, music and international |
| On-demand library | A large catalog of movies and series |
| Picture quality | HD, Full HD and 4K where the source supports it |
| TV guide (EPG) | Program information for most channels |
| Devices | Smart TV, Fire TV Stick, Android, iPhone and iPad, MAG box, Windows and Mac |
| Updates | Free automatic updates |
| Support | 24/7 on WhatsApp |
| Refund | 7 days from purchase |
IPTV subscription plans and prices
These are our standard prices for one screen. You can see 2-screen and 3-screen prices and the premium plans in the plans section on the home page.
| Plan | Price | Effective monthly cost |
|---|---|---|
| 1 day | $7 | Trial-style pass |
| 1 month | $20 | $20.00 |
| 3 months | $37 | $12.33 |
| 6 months | $49 | $8.17 |
| 1 year | $77 | $6.42 |
| 2 years | $119 | $4.96 |
The longer you commit, the lower the monthly cost. A one-year plan at $77 is about 68 percent cheaper than paying $20 a month for twelve months ($240).
How much does an IPTV subscription cost?
IPTV subscription prices vary widely between providers. What matters is the price per screen per month, the length of the plan and what is included. When you compare offers, work out the monthly equivalent and check for hidden extras such as separate fees for the TV guide or for extra screens. Our own plans are all-inclusive. For a deeper breakdown, read how much IPTV costs and our IPTV subscription cost guide.
Monthly or yearly: which IPTV subscription should you choose?
- 1 day ($7): try the service on your own devices during a busy evening before you commit.
- 1 month ($20): flexible if you only watch during a season or travel a lot.
- 3 to 6 months ($37 to $49): a good middle ground once you know you like it.
- 1 year ($77): the best value for most households.
- 2 years ($119): the lowest monthly price if you are sure you will keep watching.
If you are undecided, start with a month or request a trial, then move to a yearly plan. See our comparison of monthly versus annual IPTV subscriptions.
How many screens do you need?
A standard plan covers one screen at a time. If several people watch at once, choose a plan with two to five connections. Premium plans for one year cover one to five screens at $77, $119, $149, $189 and $229. See the premium IPTV guide for what else a premium plan includes.
Trial and refund
A trial lets you test the service on your own device and internet connection. Request a trial and tell us what you will watch on. If you buy a plan and it does not work for you, ask for a refund within 7 days of payment. Read the full refund policy.
How to buy an IPTV subscription safely
- Check the refund policy. A clear refund window reduces your risk.
- Test support before you pay. Send a question and see how quickly you get a helpful reply.
- Confirm your device works. Look for a setup guide for your exact device, such as our installation guide.
- Compare monthly cost, not headline price. A long plan can look expensive until you divide it by the months.
- Use a payment method you trust and keep the receipt.
- Avoid pressure. A good provider lets you take time to decide.

Yes. You can request a short trial before you commit. Send us your device and we will reply on WhatsApp with next steps. Every paid plan also has a 7-day refund.
For many households it costs less because there is no equipment rental, no contract and one plan can cover several screens. Compare your current cable total, including fees, with the monthly equivalent of a longer IPTV plan.
Plans are prepaid for the period you choose and do not renew automatically. You can simply stop, and your plan stays active until the period you paid for ends.
Rules depend on the content and the service, and they differ by country and state. Choose a provider that is transparent about what it sells, keep your receipts, and check the rules that apply to you before subscribing.
