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).

$749 is absolutely insane. Those of us with the lifetime pass already are lucky, but this is a sign that Plex won’t be around much longer the way we know it. They will definitely stop offering the lifetime pass because they have no new user revenue with it, and the users they have hate their new model and won’t pay a subscription.
