The $240 Difference Nobody Compares: Connection Pricing

Two providers add $5 for each extra simultaneous stream; four add about $10. On one screen the difference is invisible. On six it is $240 a year — larger than the gap between the cheapest and most expensive annual plan in this entire directory.

The $5 ladder against the $10 ladder, across six screens.

The two models

The $5 ladder. VocoTV and KroozTV: $15, $20, $25, $30, $35, $40 for one through six simultaneous streams. Six screens costs $40 a month — $6.67 each.

The $10 ladder. FreeGoTV runs $15 to $45 across six. ViewTVY and TereaTV reach $50 at five. VinomTV reaches $60 at six — $10 per screen, half again as expensive as the $5 model.

Why the models differ

A connection costs a provider bandwidth and a slot on a server, and that cost is real but small. The $10 ladder prices connections as a product tier; the $5 ladder prices them closer to marginal cost and uses the household as the volume play.

Neither is wrong. But since every provider here charges the identical $15 for the first connection, the ladder is one of the few places where a genuine pricing decision is still visible.

Working out your own number

Count the maximum screens that will ever play at the same time — not televisions owned. Then multiply the difference by twelve.

Two screens: $5 to $10 a month apart, $60 to $120 a year. Four screens: about $15 a month apart, $180 a year. Six screens: $20 a month apart, $240 a year. At two screens the ladder barely matters; at five it decides which provider you should be buying from.

The mistake this avoids

Buying a second subscription instead of a second connection. A second connection costs $5 to $10 a month; a second subscription costs $15, plus a second renewal date and a second support relationship. It is the most common and most expensive error in household IPTV buying.

Questions

What is an IPTV connection?

One simultaneous stream. Install the app on as many devices as you like — the plan limits how many can play at once.

Which provider is cheapest per screen?

VocoTV and KroozTV at $6.67 per stream on the six-device plan.

Should I buy two subscriptions instead?

Almost never. A second connection is $5 to $10; a second subscription is $15 plus another renewal to track.
