IPTV Reseller Plans Explained

In the context of IPTV reselling, “plans” typically refers to the subscription durations you offer customers. Each duration corresponds to a specific number of credits. Choosing which plans to offer customers is a commercial decision that affects your credit consumption pattern and customer value.

Available Subscription Durations

• 6-hour trial — 0 credits. For prospective customers to evaluate the service.
• 1 month — 1 credit. Lowest commitment for customers.
• 3 months — 3 credits. A common starting point for new paying customers.
• 6 months — 6 credits. Better value for customers, better retention for resellers.
• 12 months — 12 credits. Highest commitment, lowest effective cost per month for the customer.

Which Plans Should You Offer?

Offering all four paid durations gives customers choice and lets the market decide. Many resellers find that 3-month and 6-month subscriptions are the most popular — long enough for customers to commit, short enough for them not to feel locked in.

The Case for Longer Subscriptions

From a reseller perspective, longer subscriptions are operationally easier. A customer on a 12-month plan requires one renewal per year. A customer on a 1-month plan requires 12 renewals. Encouraging longer subscriptions through pricing — offering a discount for 6 or 12 months — reduces your administrative overhead and improves customer retention.

The 6-Hour Trial

The trial is a zero-credit option that lets customers test the service before paying. Use it actively with prospective customers — converting a trial to a paid subscription is a no-cost acquisition that only requires the customer to be satisfied with the service quality.

Credit Planning Around Plans

The subscription durations you predominantly sell affect your credit forecasting. If most customers take 6-month subscriptions, your renewals are predictable and infrequent. If most take 1-month subscriptions, you will see a consistent monthly credit drain from renewals. Factor this into your credit management approach.
