If you haven’t seen it yet, we recently made the announcement that starting July 1, 2026, the price of “Jellyfin Premium+ One Super Unlimited (with Ads)” will increase to $0.00 USD*. There has been a lot of enthusiasm regarding charge backs, and we’re simply blown away by the community’s response.
As we’ve had a high volume of inquiries, I’d ask if you could please wait until I’m off the support email shift to reach out about this issue. I’ve attached our schedule so you’ll know when it is safe to reach out.
Thanks, and happy streaming!
*Example price in USD. Exact pricing in other currencies may vary.
I decided to bite the bullet and just pay the price increase. I will be looking for other services to use before I am charged again. Does Windows Media Player work well for you guys?
I heard on AIM that Winamp is good.
I just got a refund, I’m moving to Real Player
I’m going to pirate it
I bought a plex pass about 5 years ago. I figured it would be a reasonable long term investment. I am starting to think I should have just gone with Jellyfin to start with.
I’m curious, was it a lifetime pass? If so, how does the price increase affect you?
We’re going to need to double Bezo’s taxes to pay for this.
Can I pay in installments?
This is outrageous! Im four times madder about this than I was before!
it’s a gimmick guys, this is done so the memorial day 75% discount sale sound like a good deal, don’t be sheeple
Thank goodness I got a lifetime Jellyfin license years ago!
I just keep getting the cracked versions
Joking aside, I do have a lifetime subscription to Emby, which shares a lot of the same code as Jellyfin. But the lifetime subscription was $99 which I viewed as a thank you donation to the developer(s). In the past 5 years or so it has been an excellent value.
How is emby? I’ve got jellyfin running but…the people I share my media with aren’t exactly tech savvy, so any tiny issue that occurs, I am having to fix it by going to their house.
Is emby, just plex easy? Cause that’s why I started looking at plex until this price increase happened.
Emby is jellyfin with extra support and development. The apps came out earlier and for more platforms. It supports IPTV. Theres some pretty responsive forum support. Jellyfin may have these things too, but I chose Emby at the time for its native WebOS app.
Well damn, so I’m not going to get lucky with the easy button for family then.
Jellyfin is a fork of Emby due to some drama I can’t quite remember. Last I used Emby a few years ago, both looked and operated basically the same as each other.
Jellyfin has made improvements since. I can’t speak for Emby since I switched to Jellyfin.
Wait til John Jellyfin hears about this!
He’s out golfing with
This is how you capitalize on someone else’s mistake. Made me actually laugh.
It reminds me of Apple’s response to Vista’s pricing tiers in 2007.
During the Apple keynote that year they said there was going to be an OS X Basic for $129, an OS X Premium for $129, an OS X Business for $129, and an OS X Ultimate for $129.
Vista pricing tiers were absurd. It still is, but vista was extra.
I’d rather donate $750 to Jellyfin than pay $750 to Plex for Lifetime.
something is wrong with my instance, I’m not getting any ads here
