The philosophical difference
TiviMate treats IPTV as a hobby that rewards investment. It gives you a deep settings tree, and in return, near-total control: how the guide is dense, what the buttons do, how playlists layer. Its audience configured it once, enjoys configuring it, and would resent an app that decided things for them.
Loge treats IPTV as television. It was designed against a real nine-thousand-item playlist for a person holding a remote ten feet away, and its bet is that most households want good defaults more than they want options: channels that look like channels, films with posters, series that resume episode by episode, and nothing that needs explaining to whoever the remote gets handed to.
Neither philosophy is wrong. They are for different people, and you probably already know which one you are.
Platforms: one screen against seven
This is the widest factual gap. TiviMate's own store listing describes an app designed for Android TV and not optimised for touch. There is no official TiviMate for iPhone or iPad — search the App Store and the TiviMate-named results are imitations from unrelated developers, which is worth knowing before you pay one of them. Samsung and LG televisions are not served at all.
Loge ships for Android TV and Google TV, Fire TV, Samsung sets from 2018, LG sets from 2018, Android phones and tablets, iPhone and iPad, and Mac, with the same layout and the same habits everywhere. If everything you own runs Android TV, this difference costs you nothing. If your bedroom TV is a Samsung and your commute is an iPhone, it is the whole decision.
Pricing: two honest models
TiviMate is a free download whose premium upgrade unlocks additional features — multiple playlists and recording among them, per its listing. The upgrade is bought through Google Play at your local storefront's price, or through the TiviMate Companion phone app on devices without Play. It is fair value for what it unlocks; its free tier, though, is best understood as a demo.
Loge inverts that. The 14-day trial is the entire app — every feature, no card, no account — and paying changes nothing except that the app keeps working. A television licence is $7.99 a year or $12.99 once; phones, tablets and computers are $4.99 a year or $9.99 once. Each licence covers one device, and direct purchases carry a 14-day no-questions refund.
Where TiviMate is simply better
Honesty being the point of this page: if you want to record streams, use provider catch-up archives, watch four channels at once in multiview, or connect a Stalker portal, TiviMate does all four and Loge does none of them. Power users with an Android TV box and an evening to spend in settings will get more machine out of TiviMate. We would rather tell you that here than have you find out after paying us.
Where Loge is better
- Every screen in the house. Same app on the TV, the Samsung in the bedroom, the iPhone on the train, the Mac at the desk.
- Nothing gated. The trial is the product. There is no premium tier to compare against, because there is only one Loge.
- Resume that actually resumes. Every film and every episode keeps its own position, and whatever you were watching is the first thing on the home screen.
- Subtitles you can fix. An offset control in tenths of a second, remembered per stream — here is why that matters.
- Setup without the remote. One screen, with a QR code that lets your phone do the typing.
- Paying without typing. The TV shows a six-character code; you pay on your phone; the TV unlocks itself.
Which one should you get?
Choose TiviMate if you are an Android TV household and you want recording, catch-up, multiview or Stalker portals — or you simply enjoy tuning an app until it is exactly yours.
Choose Loge if your screens are mixed — Samsung, LG, Fire TV, iPhone, Mac — or if the person who uses the TV most is not the person who set it up. The 14-day trial is the complete app, so the cheapest way to settle this is to run both for a week and keep the one the household reaches for.
