How we price

One method, applied to every plan each provider publishes, not only the one it advertises.

Most comparison pages publish a provider's headline monthly rate and rank on it. That figure describes one of the five plans on sale and is usually the worst value of them. This site lists the whole ladder and divides.

Where the prices come from

Each provider's own plan page: every term it publishes, at the price it states. Channel and on-demand counts are the figures each service lists for itself, and device support is the list each service gives. Setup steps in the guides follow the official documentation for the app being described.

What the console divides

The up-front total, by the number of months committed. A twelve-month plan at $77.99 is $6.50 per month; a rolling month at $13.99 is $13.99. That is the only pair of numbers that can be compared honestly, and it is the figure the table sorts on.

Where a provider does not sell a term, the row says not sold rather than hiding. A missing two-year option is information about the provider.

What the ranking weighs

Live channels, 30%: the channel count each service publishes.
On-demand library, 20%: the title count each service publishes.
Rolling-month price, 20%.
Per-month price on a twelve-month plan, 20%.
Per-month price on a two-year plan, 10%.

Each input is scaled against the other services on the page, and the scoring table shows every part of every score. The console prices a subscription; the scorecard weighs it against the others on published figures.

What this site does not measure

We do not run stream tests, time buffering or grade picture quality, and nothing here is based on user polls or forum threads. How a service behaves on your connection, at the hour you usually watch, is something only you can check, which is why every guide points at the trial before any longer term.

How the site is funded

Some outbound links earn a commission. A commission rate is not an input to the console or the scorecard, and it does not change the price you pay. The affiliate disclosure sets out the arrangement in full.

Who writes it

The Best IPTV Subscription editors, Plan pricing and term arithmetic. We read each provider's published plan page, record the price of every term on sale, and divide the up-front total by the months it covers. App and device details come from the official documentation. We do not run stream or reliability tests, so picture quality on your own connection is what the free trial is for.

Corrections

If a price here is wrong, it gets re-checked before anything else in the queue. hello@thebestiptvsubscription.com, or the contact page.
