What IPTV Really Costs: A Plain Breakdown in US Dollars

By AurexTV Support · Published September 2, 2026 · Updated September 16, 2026

An IPTV subscription costs a fraction of a traditional TV bill, but the number that matters is not the headline price. It is the cost per screen, per month, with no contract attached. This guide lays out real AurexTV prices in US dollars, shows you how to work out what you would actually pay for the way your household watches, and explains why the cheapest plans on the internet are a warning rather than a bargain. Prices here are quoted in USD; if you are paying from the UK, Canada or Australia, your bank converts at its own rate, which we cover at the end.

The AurexTV price list, in full

We list every price explicitly rather than hiding tiers behind a slider, so you can see exactly what each length and each number of devices costs. All prices are one-time payments in USD for the period shown, with no auto-renewing contract.

1 Month

3 Months

6 Months (most popular)

12 Months (best value)

Every plan includes the same thing: 25,000+ live channels, 120,000+ on-demand titles across 60+ countries, 4K, FHD and HD quality, the programme guide and catch-up, and 24/7 support. You pay for length and for how many screens run at once, not for a better or worse version of the service. The live pricing page always shows the current figures.

Cost per screen: the number that actually matters

Headline prices flatter short plans and punish long ones unfairly, so reduce everything to cost per screen per month. Two worked examples show why it changes the picture.

A single viewer on the 12-month, 1-device plan. That is $69 for the year, which is $5.75 a month for one screen. There is nothing to renew and nothing to cancel; when the year ends, you decide again.

A family on the 12-month, 5-device plan. That is $239 for the year across five simultaneous screens. Divide it out and it is roughly $3.98 per screen per month, less than the single-screen plan, because buying more screens and more months both lower the unit cost. For a household where several people watch different things at once, that is the figure to compare against everything else you pay.

The lesson is simple: the longer plan and the multi-device plan look more expensive at the till and are cheaper per screen. Work out how many screens your home really needs to run at the same time, pick the length you are comfortable with, and compare the per-screen figure, not the sticker.

Why “no contract” changes the maths

A traditional TV package spreads a low monthly number across a long lock-in, and the true cost is that number multiplied by the full term, plus whatever it rises to when the introductory rate ends. An IPTV plan is the opposite: you pay once for a defined period and owe nothing after it. There is no early-termination fee because there is no term to terminate, and no price hike buried at month thirteen. That means the number you see is the number you pay, and if the service stops earning its place you simply do not renew. A 7-day money-back guarantee sits behind the paid plans, so even the initial commitment is reversible.

How it compares with a cable or satellite bill

We will not quote specific competitor prices, because they vary by region, promotion and add-on across the US, UK, Canada and Australia, and a made-up figure helps no one. The structural comparison, though, holds everywhere.

The point is not that one line always beats another to the cent. It is that IPTV removes the parts of a TV bill that inflate quietly: the box rental, the add-ons, the annual increase and the term that makes leaving expensive.

Which plan length and screen count to pick

Two questions settle the choice, and neither takes long to answer honestly. The first is how many screens run at the same time in your home. Count the worst case, a weekend evening when several people want different things, not the quiet weekday when only you are watching. That number, not your total number of devices, is what you are buying; you can install the app on as many devices as you like, but the plan sets how many can stream at once. The second question is how sure you are. If you are new to the service, a one or three-month plan is the low-risk way in; if you already know it works for you, the six or twelve-month plans cut the per-screen cost noticeably.

A simple way to decide: start short, measure, then extend. Because there is no contract, nothing punishes you for buying a single month first and upgrading to a year once you are confident. The only thing a longer plan costs you is commitment, and the only thing it saves you is money, so make that trade deliberately rather than by default.

The costs of traditional TV that simply disappear

Comparing monthly numbers alone understates the difference, because a traditional TV bill carries costs that an IPTV plan does not have at all. When you move away from cable or satellite you stop paying for several things at once.

• Equipment rental. The set-top box, and sometimes a second box for another room, is often a recurring line on the bill. IPTV runs on hardware you already own.
• Premium and sport add-ons. The channels that cost extra on a traditional package are counted within the 25,000+ figure here rather than sold separately.
• The introductory-rate cliff. Traditional packages frequently rise after the first year. A fixed-period IPTV plan does not change price after you buy it.
• Early-exit fees. Leaving a contract early can cost money; there is no contract to leave here.

Add those up and the honest comparison is not “our monthly number versus theirs” but “our all-in cost versus their all-in cost,” which is where IPTV tends to pull clearly ahead.

A twelve-month worked comparison

Put it together for a typical household. Suppose four people want to be able to watch different things at once and you are confident enough to buy a year. The 12-month, 5-device plan is $239 for the year. That is one payment, no box rental, no add-ons, no mid-year increase and nothing to cancel, working out to under $4 per screen per month. Against a traditional bill that spreads a monthly charge across a two-year term, adds box rental and sport packages, and steps up after the introductory period, the gap over a full year is usually substantial, even without quoting a specific competitor figure. The value is not just the lower number; it is the absence of the parts that quietly inflate a conventional bill.

When a price is too low to trust

If cheaper is better, why not take the $10-a-year offer you saw in a forum? Because running IPTV has real, ongoing costs everywhere in the world: servers, bandwidth, content and people. A price that could not possibly cover those is not generosity, it is a sign there is no capacity behind the service, and it will show the first busy evening or vanish with your money. “Lifetime” subscriptions are the same trap in a different wrapper, since no one can fund a lifetime of ongoing costs from a single payment. A price that is merely reasonable is a healthier signal than one that is unbelievable.

What happens when a plan ends

Because there is no contract, the end of a plan is a decision rather than an event. When your period runs out, the service simply stops until you renew; nothing keeps charging you in the background, and there is no cancellation to remember or notice period to serve. If you want to continue, you buy another period, and you are free to change the length or the number of screens at that point to match how your household has actually been watching. This is the practical meaning of “no contract”: the default is off, not on. It also means you can pause over a quiet stretch, a summer when nobody watches much, and pick up again later without penalty, which is not something a traditional package allows.

Getting the most value from your money

A few habits keep the cost genuinely low. Buy the length you are confident in rather than the longest on offer, since a year is only cheaper per month if you actually use it. Size the screens to your real peak, not to the number of devices in the house. Use the trial and the money-back window so you never pay for a service that does not perform on your connection. And ignore prices that seem too good to be true, because the cost of a plan that vanishes is 100 percent, not a bargain. Value in IPTV is not the lowest number you can find; it is the lowest number backed by a service that is still there next month.

Paying from outside the US: cards and conversion

Prices are set in US dollars. If your card is issued in the UK, Canada or Australia, your bank converts the charge to your local currency at its own exchange rate on the day, and some cards add a small foreign-transaction fee. That means the amount on your statement may differ slightly from a simple conversion, and it can move a little with the exchange rate between one purchase and the next. It is nothing unusual, the same thing happens when you buy anything priced in dollars, but it is worth knowing so the figure on your statement does not surprise you.

The honest way to decide whether any of this is worth it is not to calculate in the abstract but to try the service first. Start a no-card free trial, confirm it works on your connection, then pick the plan whose per-screen cost suits your household from the pricing page.
