Jesus, I think I got it for 60 on a black friday around covid. 750 is insane considering they never add any features. WTF.


One of these days they will cancel our lifetime subscriptions, I guarantee it.

I never actually read the EULA or terms, I'm sure there's some wording in there somewhere that gives them an out.

Seriously considering switching to Jellyfin now, just rip the bandaid off and screw plex.

People flipping out - math?

Would you buy lifetime Netflix for $750? I probably would just because they don't want you to have that option.

I've already got my lifetime, but man - Plexamp is probably my most used streaming app of all time. Still a no brainer. But they need better onramps to that pricing.

It feels like a lot, but 4 years of any $14.99/Month streaming service and you are there.

A 200% increase to $750 is ridiculous! I got mine for $50 on a half price deal years ago...

Is there any reason to use Plex over jellyfin except app on more devices?

Jellyfin did have a serious security bug a month ago but it was fixed quickly. I haven’t heard of a billion dollars going missing or an entire password manager being compromised like what happened with Plex.

What's the reason to use Plex if you don't have a media server?

That's insane. I paid $75 10+ years ago. A paid Plex server is how I watch all my tv. Being able to download with Plex Pass has been a necessity over the years.
