Plex Pass certainly has functionality and features that jellyfin doesn’t; just not $750 worth…

Because Jellyfin did not exist back then and does not have feature parity today? But I know you just wanted to show everyone how smart you are for using Jellyfin…
Jellyfin is not safe to expose to the web, plex is and can be done with one click. That’s worth at least a couple hundred in my mind, certainly not 700 but it’s important for friends with no technical ability

I’m counting down the days until they revoke all existing lifetime passes. With this change and the recent bitwarden price increases, we’re definitely in the era of being squeezed for every dime from all sides.
Like many others, I bought the lifetime plex pass when it was relatively cheap but switched to jellyfin for personal use years ago. I keep plex running for family members but that’ll stop as soon as the lifetime pass goes away.

The Bitwarden news is really disappointing. I thought they were me of the “good guys” but it seems that was only the first phase of enshittification. I quite like their services but I’m starting to make my migration plans. 1password seems pretty reputable and their prices are relatively stable.
No loyalty to any brand or service, ever. Take your dollars and your time and your effort to whoever deserves it most. That even includes open source software.

I’ve learned to start looking at alternatives as soon as I get a whiff of venture capital near anything I rely on. I hope I’m wrong but this is probably just the start of the downfall of bitwarden.
I’m on vaultwarden for now and keeping an eye on aliasvault and passbolt.
Who else is going to mess with their families and friends with this?

As someone who paid around £120 for Emby lifetime: What the fuck
Of course, Plex really don’t seem to realise they are a laughing stock in this community.
Plex kind of beats Jellyfin in: music player support (but I believe in separate dedicated services rather than a jack-of-all-trades, so I’d recommend Navidrome instead), and easy remote access (but Plex Cloud dependent).
The only thing Plex has that Emby & Jellyfin don’t, that I think is pretty neat, is the combining of multiple servers in one library UI. That’s it. And even then you can use Moonfin or Kodi clients, or Jellyswarrm in the stack, and that feature is FOSS too.

I also only paid 70€ for my Lifetime Plex, some 10 years ago. That was definitely worth it and continues to be, but this increase is pretty clearly a soft end for the lifetime licenses.

For myself I can access jellyfin from my tailnet, but Plex also makes secure sharing with friends and family over the internet simple.
You also get their OTA broadcast guide for free with plex pass. I doubt anyone else will ever offer that. The cheapest option I know of is HDHomerun’s for $35/year.
With those two things I suspect I’ll be sticking with Plex (if not exclusively) until they go out of business.

I don’t get who this product is for in a universe where Jellyfin exists.

Same. And same.

In my opinion they should have just discontinued the lifetime sub instead of the ridiculous pricing and bad press.
Would definitely have been the more honest approach
