By July 2024, with the elimination of the ancillary cost privilege, IPTV has seen significant growth. One of the largest providers of internet-based television is Zattoo. However, its cheapest package is now becoming more expensive.
In times when hardly a week goes by without an announcement of a price increase, Zattoo is now joining in. The IPTV provider is adjusting its prices for the paid Smart HD package in Germany. Starting July 1, 2025, the price for the monthly subscription will rise. The annual subscription will also become more expensive, albeit a bit later. However, not all Zattoo customers are affected by the price increase.
Zattoo Announces Price Increase for New Customers Starting in July
The price increase is 50 cents per month and applies only to new customers who subscribe. They will pay 6.99 euros for the Smart HD package starting in July, up from the previous 6.49 euros. The annual subscription will be raised to 79.99 euros starting August 4—a five-euro increase. The provider justifies the adjustment with increased licensing and operating costs, as well as an expanded channel offering.
Since Zattoo is announcing the price adjustment in advance, interested parties still have the opportunity to subscribe to the Smart HD package at the lower price. Although this only saves 6 euros per year, since Zattoo is far from the only provider raising prices, such an amount can quickly add up. Existing customers also include those who register for the free trial month by June 30. They can thus secure the previous prices of 6.49 euros monthly or 74.99 euros annually for the long term.

What the Smart HD Package from Zattoo Offers
The Smart HD package is Zattoo’s most affordable paid subscription. It includes more than 200 TV channels in HD quality. These include well-known programs such as ARD, ZDF, RTL, ProSieben, SAT.1, and VOX. Additionally, features like time-shifted TV, restarting current shows, and the Zattoo library with around 30,000 series, movies, and shows are included.
The package is intended for use on smart TVs, streaming sticks, and TV boxes, but not on mobile devices like iPhones or iPads. Also, the affordable subscription allows streaming on only one device at a time. Those who need two or more simultaneous streams or want to use Zattoo on mobile must switch to the Premium or Ultimate subscription. The prices here are 9.99 euros and 13.99 euros, respectively, and are unaffected by the price increase.

The additional option Wow Premium is also becoming more expensive. Both new and existing customers are affected.
