minus-squareyeehaw@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up28arrow-down1·20 天前New USD prices as of April 29, 2025 will be: Monthly: $6.99 Yearly: $69.99 Lifetime: $249.99 Oof I paid $75 in 2013 for lifetime lol.
minus-squareRexios@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up15arrow-down3·20 天前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.
minus-squareSwarfega@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7·19 天前They are removing it to make money from a subscription instead. You’re making it sound like they are doing something good!
minus-squareRexios@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·19 天前Before everyone had to pay for the apps. Im not saying this change is good but it’s also not all bad.
minus-squareSwarfega@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·edit-219 天前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 now they want me to pay a monthly fee instead. Anyone new to Plex who doesn’t want a subscription can only play media when they are at home. Whereas before it was a one time payment. Jellyfin is the future. Plex is dead to me.

minus-squareBrewchin@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7·20 天前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.
