Plans
Basic is a 12-month licence for one assigned device without automatic renewal or cross-device sync. Plus covers up to five supported devices on one verified Playova account, syncs watch progress and ratings, and renews annually. TV purchase options vary by platform.
Playova is available in Microsoft Store for Windows, Google Play for Android phones and tablets, and Amazon Appstore for Fire TV. Buy Basic or Plus inside the app. Store releases for the remaining platforms are still in development or review.
The trial: 14 days with every supported paid feature, starting when you add your first source, including the demonstration provider. Installing the app or creating an account does not start it. After the trial, playback needs an active Basic or Plus licence.
Bought inside the Windows app from Microsoft Store; Mac and Linux copies from this website use Plus.
Basic opens the one computer it is bought on. A computer installed from this website, Linux included, opens with Plus bought in the Playova app on your phone or on another device.
Planned purchase route: the Playova phone app. No checkout on the LG TV.
Use the phone app’s TV purchase flow to assign Basic to this television, or sign in with Plus. A Basic licence assigned to the TV no longer covers the phone. Sales are not open yet.
Planned purchase routes: Samsung Checkout where available, or the Playova phone app.
Samsung Checkout can offer Basic and Plus inside Playova where supported. The phone app’s TV purchase flow is another option. Basic covers the assigned television; Plus covers up to five supported devices. Sales are not open yet.
Where to buy: inside the iPhone or iPad app, through the App Store.
Basic opens the one iPhone or iPad it is bought on. Restoring it with the same Apple ID moves it to a new device, for example from an iPhone to an iPad.
Where to buy: inside the Android app, through Google Play.
Basic opens the one Android phone or tablet it is bought on. Restoring it with the same Google Play account moves it to a new device.
Where to buy: inside the Android TV app, through Google Play.
The Android TV app has its own Basic licence for one TV. A Basic licence used on an Android phone does not also cover Android TV. Store sales are not open yet.

Start with your account or purchase channel. You do not need to buy again just to find an existing licence.
The trial: 14 days with every supported paid feature, starting when you add your first source, including the demonstration provider. Installing the app or creating an account does not start it. After the trial, playback needs an active Basic or Plus licence.
Basic covers one assigned device; Plus covers up to five supported devices with one account. For LG, the planned purchase route is through the phone app, including Basic assigned to the TV. Samsung also supports in-app purchases where Samsung Checkout is available. Sales are not open yet.
Basic for an Android phone and Basic for Android TV are separate purchases, each covering one assigned device. Plus covers both with one Playova account, within its five-device limit. Basic for Android phones is sold on Google Play; Android TV sales open when its store version is released.
Yes, under the planned model. The phone app can assign Basic to an LG or Samsung TV through the TV purchase flow. That licence covers the TV, not the phone as well. Samsung can also sell Basic through Samsung Checkout where available. These sales are not open yet.
No. Playova is a player. Your provider determines available content and simultaneous streams. Adding a device to Playova does not increase that provider limit.
Its purchased terms are preserved. The upcoming Basic and Plus plans do not rename an existing licence or remove a paid lifetime entitlement. Check your account or contact support if the details are unclear.
