What's the difference between Free and Premium?

Updated yesterday

In this article

You can watch live sports on StreamEast for free. Premium unlocks extras on the same account: ad-free site experience, exclusive HD streams, Live TV, IPTV, Multi Stream, cast/QR tools, synced preferences, and priority support. Every Premium plan length unlocks the same feature set — plans differ by duration, not by tiered features. Premium does not auto-renew.

When Free is enough

Create and verify an account, open match pages, and pick available free servers. Free works for many viewers, with possible StreamEast site ads. Premium-only HD sources stay locked until you upgrade.

What Premium adds

  • Ad-free experience
  • Exclusive premium HD (60fps, including Home/Away and extra FHD alternatives on many events)
  • 24/7 Live TV (5,000+ channels at /channels/)
  • Chromecast & AirPlay
  • IPTV playlist (Live TV browser + IPTV share up to 5 simultaneous connections)
  • Multi Stream (up to 4 on desktop)
  • Favorites & preferences sync
  • QR console & TV login
  • Priority support (tickets answered within a maximum of 24 hours)

Upgrade from Buy Premium when you want those extras. Pay with card, crypto, or gift card on checkout. For auto-renew and stacking: Does Premium auto-renew?.

Reading a match page

Free servers play without Premium. Selecting a Premium HD server without active Premium shows the Premium gate instead of the stream — free servers on the same match can still work. That is not “everything is broken.”
