Comment on Plex is increasing Plex Pass prices and paywalling remote playback for personal media at $1.99/month or $19.99/year.

  I like how no one is mentioning that they removed the one time fees for their mobile apps to be able to play media at all. Also, only the server owner needs Plex Pass and anyone they share with can stream for free.

    They are removing it to make money from a subscription instead. You’re making it sound like they are doing something good!

      Before everyone had to pay for the apps. Im not saying this change is good but it’s also not all bad.

        How do you work that out?

        I paid for the app so that I can play media on the go. Now that payment meant nothing and I should now pay a monthly fee instead.

        Anyone new to Plex who doesn’t want a subscription can only play media when they are at home.

        Jellyfin is the future. Plex is dead to me.

    How so? My friends need to use my account or else they need to pay to watch my movie? Did that change?

  The US$75 Lifetime price has traditionally been their Black Friday deal, regardless of the usual price.

  Anyone’s guess if that deal will still be a thing, given their recent behaviour, though.
