Jellyfin to quadruple their prices following Plex's price increases (old.reddit.com)

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'll bet they're using dirty rounding tricks too to misrepresent the price. For all we know, it could be as high as 6600 Iranian rials. Outrageous.

We're going to need to double Bezo's taxes to pay for this.

Acronyms, initialisms, abbreviations, contractions, and other phrases which expand to something larger, that I've seen in this thread:

Fewer Letters	More Letters
DNS	Domain Name Service/System
Plex	Brand of media server package
VPN	Virtual Private Network

3 acronyms in this thread; the most compressed thread commented on today has 15 acronyms.

Back when I was a kid zero dollars.. Er...pesos at the time... Meant something. It meant you could only go up from there.

Now, with all these CEOs getting in the way between you and a good time, now it means nothing! Whatever! Fine make it 10x as expensive! See if we care!
