Start with the plan total, then check any separate player-app fee and whether you need another device. Use the budget tool below to see which costs you have confirmed.
Quick answer: the listed plans start at £22 total for 3 months. Your setup budget can be higher if you need a paid player app or a device purchase. The app and the content subscription are separate.

What are you paying for?
The player app
The player runs on your TV, box or phone. It may charge separately for a licence or activation. Check its billing period and whether the fee covers the full term you are budgeting for.

A simple worked example
A £22 plan + an illustrative £5 app fee for the same period + £0 for a device you already own = £27. The £5 is an example, not a quoted price for any app. Use the current fee for your chosen player in your own budget.

Separate the plan from the extras.
Does an IPTV subscription include the player app?
Not necessarily. The subscription and player app are separate parts of the setup. Some players have a separate licence or activation fee; confirm it with the app publisher for your device.
Is £22 the complete setup cost?
£22 is the listed total for the 3-month plan. Any separate app fee or device purchase adds to your budget. If you already own a suitable device and your chosen player has no separate charge, those additional costs may be zero.
How should I budget for a longer plan?
Use the full subscription total and include any app fees covering the whole access period. The 6 + 1, 12 + 1 and 24 + 2 month plans include 7, 13 and 26 access months respectively.
Can this calculator confirm an app price or TV compatibility?
No. It calculates from the amounts you enter. Check current app availability, licence terms and compatibility on your exact device, and confirm the service details with support before paying.
