I bought Plex pass years ago for £79. The new price of $749.99 is INSANE.

No wonder all the cool people are using Jellyfin.

    Was any justification provided for a nearly 10x price increase!?

    Glad I started with Jellyfin

      It’s because lifetime licenses aren’t sustainable. I’m surprised they still offer it.

      Plex is an actual company that has an office and employees, so they have recurring costs every month. A lot of people already have lifetime licenses that they’re not likely to receive any more revenue from. It’s likely they’re increasing the price to help recoup costs or convince people to subscribe to a monthly subscription rather than get a lifetime license.
