Aroma IPTV plans, prices and how renewing works

The whole price list, in one place

Prices on Aroma IPTV are quoted in US dollars and every plan carries the same channel line-up. Nothing is held back for a higher tier except the extra 4K content described further down.

• 1 month - $10.00
• 3 months - $20.00
• 6 months - $30.00
• 12 months - $40.00
• VIP 12 months - $55.00, which adds the extra 4K content
• 15 months - $50.00
• 24 months - $70.00

That is the complete list of what is sold. If you find a different figure quoted somewhere else under this name, the pricing page on this site is the one that the checkout actually charges from.

Why the price per month falls the way it does

Worked out per month, the ladder runs $10.00, $6.67, $5.00 and $3.33 for one, three, six and twelve months. The twenty-four month plan works out at $2.92. The steepest part of the curve is therefore between one month and six, and it flattens sharply after twelve.

The practical reading of that is straightforward. Moving from one month to three saves a third. Moving from twelve months to twenty-four saves about twelve per cent and asks you to pay two years ahead in a category where nobody should be making two-year predictions. Most households land on six or twelve months for good reason, and the one-month plan is best understood as the cost of finding out whether the line-up suits you.

What VIP adds, and what it does not

The VIP twelve-month plan costs $55.00 against $40.00 for the standard twelve months, a difference of fifteen dollars across the year. What it buys is the extra 4K content. It does not buy a different channel line-up, a different support queue or a faster activation, and it should not be sold to you as if it did.

Whether that is worth fifteen dollars comes down to hardware more than taste. A television and a box that both decode H.265 in silicon on a connection that holds up in the evening will show you the difference. A cheap Android box that falls back to software decoding will stutter through the same stream and the money will have bought a worse picture than the standard tier. Test a 4K stream on the hardware you actually own before upgrading; the setup pages describe how on each platform.

The fifteen-month plan is not a discount

Fifteen months at $50.00 works out at $3.33 per month, which is precisely the same rate as twelve months at $40.00. It is not a better deal per month; it is three additional months bought at the standard rate in a single transaction.

That makes it useful for one specific thing: aligning an expiry date. If a line currently runs out in the middle of a season you care about, or at a time of year when you would rather not be dealing with it, buying fifteen instead of twelve moves the renewal date three months without costing anything extra per month. If the expiry date does not matter to you, twelve months and then another twelve gives you the same rate with far less committed at once.

What a renewal actually does

A renewal extends the line you already have. The username does not change, the password does not change, the server address does not change, and the expiry date moves out by however many months you bought. No device in the house needs to be touched, no app needs reinstalling, and nothing needs typing into a remote control a second time.

That is the whole of it, and it is worth stating plainly because the alternative is what a lot of people assume: that a renewal issues a fresh set of credentials which then have to be entered everywhere. It does not. If you are ever handed new credentials on a renewal, something has gone wrong with the order and it is worth asking why before you start reconfiguring televisions.

When to renew

Put the renewal in before the expiry date, not after it. While a line is still running, adding months to it is a single edit to a single record, applied by hand once the payment settles. Once it has lapsed, the line has to be brought back before anything can be added to it, and although that usually works it is a different job with its own failure mode - a poor way to spend an evening, when a few days of foresight would have removed the question altogether.

The renewal page takes the details of the existing line so that the months are added to it rather than a second line being created. Placing a fresh order instead is the mistake that costs people money: it builds a new line with new credentials while the old one carries on expiring, and untangling that afterwards is a conversation rather than a click.

Paying, and what happens when a payment is held

Payment and activation are two separate events joined by a callback from the gateway. The order is created first and confirmed to you by mail immediately, which means that confirmation mail is not evidence that anything has been paid for yet. Activation follows when the gateway reports the payment as settled.

A card that clears at once produces a line within a couple of minutes. A payment held by the bank for verification produces nothing until the hold is released, and then everything happens normally without further action from you. If fifteen minutes have passed and neither a subscription mail nor a status change has appeared, that is the moment to send the order number to support rather than to try the payment again.

Refunds, and what they depend on

The terms that apply to an order are the ones published on the refund page at the time you place it, and they are worth two minutes of reading before rather than after. Nothing on this page overrides them.

The honest general point is that a line which has been built, delivered and used is a different case from a payment that produced nothing, and the two get treated differently everywhere in this category. The single best protection against needing the question answered at all is the one-month plan: ten dollars is a cheap way to discover that a particular household, on particular hardware, on a particular connection, is happy - and a far cheaper way to discover the opposite than seventy dollars is.

Four questions about plans and billing

Is there a free trial? No. The plans listed above are what is sold, and the one-month plan is the short way in. Anything offered as a free trial of this brand elsewhere is not coming from here.

Does a longer plan include more channels? No. Every plan carries the same line-up. The only content difference anywhere in the list is the extra 4K content on the VIP twelve-month plan.

Can I upgrade part way through? Ask before you buy anything. Adding months to an existing line is routine; changing what a live line includes is a manual adjustment and it is better arranged in a message than guessed at in a checkout.

Will the price I paid be the price next year? The figures above are what is charged today and they are read from the catalogue rather than typed into this page by hand. A renewal is a new purchase at whatever the plan costs on the day, not a locked-in rate.
