2 min readUpdated 20 Sep 2026

Lifetime is 49 dollars, paid once, for one device. No renewal, no expiry.

What is in it

  • Unlimited playlists and unlimited combined playlists.
  • Unlimited TV guide and catch-up window.
  • Unlimited recordings, including scheduling and repeat recordings.
  • Unlimited offline downloads.
  • Subtitles generated on the device, live and on films, plus offline translation into more than 55 languages.
  • Kids and Private profiles, Multi-View, and every player feature.
  • Cloud sync, and the ability to move the plan to a replacement device.

What is not in it

Left out Why
AI translation allowance Cloud translation costs us money every time it runs. Your own key works on Lifetime, with no limit.
mtivi’s movie enrichment Same reason. A free TMDB key of your own gives you the same result.
The built-in VPN A per-user running cost, and it is not shipped yet on any plan.

Why the playlist is drawn there. One payment cannot carry a monthly bill. Everything that runs on your own device is included in full, because it costs nothing to serve.

One device

Lifetime covers a single device, and it can be moved if that device dies or you upgrade. See Move your plan to a new device.

Seats

Lifetime is limited to 5,000 seats in total. The number left is shown on the plans section of mtivi.app and at the checkout.

Adding a monthly plan on top

You can buy Pro or Max for another device on the same account at any time. They are separate plans on separate devices.
