TiviMate Premium Canada — Price, Cost & How to Activate
TiviMate Premium is an optional upgrade to the TiviMate player that costs roughly US$4.99 per year (or a one-time lifetime option) and unlocks multiple playlists, recording and advanced EPG. It is not an IPTV subscription — you still need a service like Maple4K to supply the channels.

Quick answer
TiviMate Premium ≈ US$4.99/year or a one-time lifetime purchase, paid in the TiviMate Companion app and linked to your TiviMate account. It upgrades the player only. Channels come from your IPTV provider, starting at $9/month with Maple4K.
TiviMate Premium price and cost in Canada

| Option | Approx. cost (USD) | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Free TiviMate | $0 | Trying the interface with one playlist |
| Premium — yearly | ≈ $4.99 / year | Most viewers; lowest upfront cost |
| Premium — lifetime | ≈ $19.99 one-time | Long-term users who never want to renew |

What TiviMate Premium unlocks
- Multiple playlists so you can keep a second provider or a test account alongside your main one
- Scheduled recordings and catch-up where your provider supplies archive streams
- Custom channel groups, hidden channels and favourites sorting
- Advanced EPG options, reminders and extra playback settings
- Use on more than one TV once your devices are signed in to the same TiviMate account
TiviMate Premium is not an IPTV subscription
The most common mix-up: buying Premium does not add a single channel. TiviMate is a player, exactly like IPTV Smarters Pro. You pair it with an IPTV subscription that supplies the Xtream Codes login. Maple4K plans start at $9 for one month — see IPTV pricing or claim the free 24-hour trial to confirm everything loads before you upgrade the player.

Is TiviMate Premium worth it for Canadian viewers?
The honest answer depends on how you watch. If you use TiviMate every evening for live sports on TSN and Sportsnet, the yearly price works out to pennies per day and the extra playlist and recording tools pay for themselves the first time you schedule a game you would otherwise miss. If you only open the app a couple of times a week to browse, the free version already gives you the guide and channel list.
Premium also matters if you run more than one IPTV login. Many households keep a main subscription plus a second one for a family member or for testing a new provider. Without Premium you are limited to a single playlist, so switching means deleting and re-adding logins. With Premium you can keep both and flip between them in seconds.
Getting the most from TiviMate Premium with Maple4K
Not sure whether your device is powerful enough for recording? Compare options in our best Android TV box for IPTV guide, or stay on a Fire Stick 4K which handles TiviMate comfortably.
- Create favourite groups such as Hockey, News and Kids so the guide opens on what matters
- Turn on channel reminders for playoff games — TiviMate can pop a notification before puck drop
- Use the recording feature only with a fast USB drive or internal storage; slow drives cause stutter
- Set the guide to refresh once a day; more frequent refreshes just add load time
- If you upgrade your IPTV plan later, edit the existing playlist instead of adding a new one so your groups and favourites carry over
