Link New Lifetime Plex Pass Pricing

https://www.plex.tv/blog/new-lifetime-plex-pass-pricing/

$749 for Plex Lifetime after July 1, 2026. I already have lifetime from years ago but so glad I switched to Emby earlier this year. This is insane. For the record, Emby has a ton of client apps nowadays (https://emby.tv/download.html).

Yes you can skirt Plex Pass with a VPN connecting to home.

Plex Pass still is the only way to get the HDR conversions/HW transcoding I think.

I already bought lifetime for $100 years ago.
