Vivimate, more often written ViviMate, is a name used by several websites that sell IPTV subscriptions, some of which also describe a "Vivimate app" or "Vivimate Pro Player". Because it sounds almost identical to TiviMate, a well-known IPTV player app for Android TV, the two are often confused. They're different things: TiviMate plays a service you add, while ViviMate-named sites sell the service itself. This guide explains the difference and what to check.
XCodes IPTV has no connection with any website or app using the ViviMate name.
Quick answer
TiviMate is an IPTV player app with a TV-style guide; it contains no channels. ViviMate is a name used by IPTV subscription sellers on several domains. If you want the player, install TiviMate from an official store. If you're considering a ViviMate subscription, check the exact website, its terms and a trial before paying.

Why the confusion happens
- Similar spelling: one letter separates the names.
- Search suggestions: typing one often suggests the other.
- Combined use: ViviMate subscriptions are often described as working in TiviMate and IPTV Smarters, so both names appear together.
- "App" wording: some ViviMate sites mention their own app, which adds to the confusion.
If you wanted the TiviMate player
- Install TiviMate from the official store on your Android TV, Google TV or Fire OS device.
- Add your service via Xtream Codes or M3U.
- Consider TiviMate Premium if you need features like multiple playlists or recording.

About "Vivimate app" downloads
If a site offers its own app for download, check whether it's in an official store and who the developer is. Avoid installing APKs from unknown sources, and remember that Vega OS Fire TV devices can't install apps from outside the Appstore.
Reading claims
Sites using the name describe large channel and on-demand libraries, 4K quality, multi-screen viewing and privacy features. Treat these as claims to test during a trial, and be cautious of features that promise to bypass network restrictions or geo-blocks.
Warning signs
- Branding that imitates a well-known app without explaining the difference.
- APK downloads from unknown sources.
- No terms or refund policy.
- Pressure to buy long plans.
These are reasons for caution, not proof of wrongdoing.
Legal comfort
Player apps and IPTV technology are legal; what matters is whether a service holds the rights to its content. See is IPTV legal?.
