1, 3, 6 or 12 Months: Which IPTV Subscription Length Is Right for You?

How much does each IPTV plan length cost?

The table shows the total you pay for each term, what that equals per month, and how it compares with paying the 1-month price for the same number of months. You pay the total once for the term; the monthly figure is only there to compare lengths.

Note: Saving percentages are rounded down so they are never overstated. They compare ScanFlick plan lengths with each other, not with cable or other services.

What do you pay over a full year with each option?

If you plan to watch all year, compare yearly totals. Covering twelve months by renewing a shorter plan costs more than one long plan, assuming today's prices stay the same.

The 12-month plan costs $139.89 less than twelve 1-month plans. Prices can change, so treat these totals as a comparison at today's prices rather than a promise about future renewals.

• Twelve 1-month plans: $239.88 for twelve months.
• Four 3-month plans: $183.96 for twelve months.
• Two 6-month plans: $151.98 for twelve months.
• One 12-month plan: $99.99 for twelve months.

When is the 1-month plan the right choice?

The 1-month plan has the highest cost per month but the smallest commitment. It is the sensible starting point when you still have something to check, and if the month goes well you can choose a longer plan next time.

• You are new to IPTV and want to confirm it works on your TV and your internet connection before committing.
• You only need it for a short period, such as a temporary stay or a busy viewing month.
• You have not yet decided whether to cancel cable or satellite.

When do the 3-month and 6-month plans make sense?

The 3-month plan lowers the cost to $15.33 a month while keeping the commitment short. It suits people who have already watched IPTV on their own setup and want a middle ground between flexibility and price.

The 6-month plan brings it to $12.67 a month. It fits households that are confident about their setup but prefer to review their choice twice a year, for example around a move or a change of internet provider.

Who should choose the 12-month plan?

The 12-month plan has ScanFlick's lowest cost per month at $8.33, which is why it is marked as the Best Offer. For context, the J.D. Power average for cable or satellite TV alone was $121.86 a month in January 2025. The 12-month plan is the right choice when:

• IPTV already works smoothly on your main TV at your usual viewing times.
• You are replacing a cable or satellite subscription and plan to watch all year.
• You prefer one total for the year instead of repeated short plans.

Note: A longer plan saves money only if you use it for the whole term. If you are not sure yet, starting shorter costs more per month but less up front.

How do you choose your plan length in four questions?

Answer these questions in order and stop at the first plan that fits. Before a long plan, measure the internet speed on your main TV; the FCC Broadband Speed Guide lists 5 to 8 Mbps as a minimum for HD video and 25 Mbps for 4K, for one activity at a time.

1. Have you already watched IPTV on this TV and this internet connection? If not, start with 1 month.
2. Will you watch for at least three months? If yes, the 3-month plan already lowers the monthly cost.
3. Are you replacing cable for the long term? If yes, compare the 6-month and 12-month totals.
4. Is the full-year total of $99.99 comfortable for your budget today? If yes, the 12-month plan has the lowest cost per month; if not, the 6-month plan is the next best value.
