Today we’re announcing an important pricing update. Starting July 1, 2026, the price of a new Lifetime Plex Pass will increase to $749.99 USD.
When Plex first started, we were movie and TV fans who wanted to make something great for people like us. We chose to offer a Lifetime subscription early on because we knew many of our customers would rather pay a higher one-time fee for software that they can depend on every day.
We’ve considered eliminating the Lifetime Plex Pass in the past, given that recurring subscriptions help us sustain long-term development, but we know it’s still a valuable option for many in our community. So instead of retiring it, we’re keeping it available at a price that reflects the real, ongoing value of the software we’re committed to building and maintaining for years to come.
My technical comfort is high. Everyone else’s is low
Expose it to the internet in a way you’re comfortable then tell them login details including what to write for the domain.
Or just do what I do and set it up on their TV for them 🤷
Everyone else can learn.
You’re the one with the goods.
Dude, do you have a mom? Have you met a boomer?
Yep.
Ghosted her, and the rest of my family, after they became MAGA nutjobs.
… Are they paying you for this valuable IT service you provide them?
They can always go back to Netflix or Hulu or whatever.
… unless you just do full stack, frontend+backend, custom software deployments… for free…?
I don’t do shit for Boomers, for free.
Tell em to go buy a lawn mower and mow lawns to afford another enterprising local IT expert’s services, or maybe they can introduce themselves to the president of internet piracy with a firm handshake or something, I’m sure that’ll work.
If they throw a temper tantrum, remind them the full term is Baby Boomer.
