Frequently Asked Questions

Why pay for Sama when IPTV Smarters is free?
Sama is built around cloud sync, first-party support, and native clients for smart TVs. If those features are valuable to you, the one-time license is the price of not dealing with per-device setup and reseller-branded support.
Can I use my existing IPTV Smarters credentials in Sama?
Yes. Sama uses the same M3U and Xtream Codes protocols, so any playlist that works in IPTV Smarters will work in Sama.
