Side-by-Side Comparison

User Interface

TiviMate is designed for TV remotes from the ground up. Navigating channels with arrow keys is smooth, and the channel list loads fast. The grid EPG shows what is on now and what is coming up across multiple channels at once.

IPTV Smarters Pro has more features on screen at once, which makes it feel cluttered on a large TV. It works better with a touch screen or mouse rather than a remote. On older Android boxes with 1-2GB of RAM, it can be noticeably slower to open and switch channels.

Device Compatibility

TiviMate runs on Android TV and Firestick only. If you are on an iPhone, Windows PC, or a non-Android smart TV, TiviMate is not an option.

IPTV Smarters Pro covers Android, iOS, Windows, and some smart TVs. If your household uses a mix of devices, Smarters Pro lets everyone use the same app with the same credentials.

Setting Up Your WebflowMT Subscription

Both apps support Xtream Codes API, the easiest way to connect your WebflowMT subscription. Your credentials email contains three things: server URL, username, and password.

• TiviMate: Open the app, tap "Add Playlist," select "Xtream Codes," enter server URL, username, and password.
• IPTV Smarters Pro: Tap "Add New User," select "Login via Xtream Codes API," enter the same three details.

Find your credentials anytime in My Account or on the device setup guides page.

EPG (Program Guide)

TiviMate's program guide is the best in any IPTV app. It shows a 14-day grid, loads fast, and you can browse tomorrow's schedule in seconds. Scheduling a recording from the EPG takes two button presses.

IPTV Smarters Pro has an EPG but it is slower to load and shows less detail per channel. For casual viewers who just want to know what is on now, it is fine. For sports fans who plan around a schedule, TiviMate is a clear step up.

Price Breakdown

IPTV Smarters Pro is free. There is a premium tier but most users never need it.

TiviMate has a free tier for basic use. TiviMate Premium costs about $35 as a one-time purchase and adds DVR recording, multi-account support, and parental controls. If you just want to watch channels, the free tier is enough.

Which One Should You Use?

Use TiviMate if you are on Android TV or Firestick and watch live TV regularly. The interface is better for couch viewing and the EPG makes it the best choice for sports fans.

Use IPTV Smarters Pro if you are on iPhone, Windows, or want one app that works across multiple device types. It handles VOD (movies and series) better than TiviMate.

Both apps work with a WebflowMT free trial. Test both before committing.
