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.
something is wrong with my instance, I’m not getting any ads here
To get ads on jellyfin you have to manually download and play them. Sorry for the inconvenience.
it’s a gimmick guys, this is done so the memorial day 75% discount sale sound like a good deal, don’t be sheeple
Unbelievable! I just recently switched to and started paying for Jellyfin Premium+ One Super Unlimited (with Ads) to see if I wanted to pay the lifetime license. I’m moving to JamRudder instead! This is a disgrace!!!
I decided to bite the bullet and just pay the price increase. I will be looking for other services to use before I am charged again. Does Windows Media Player work well for you guys?
Thank goodness I got a lifetime Jellyfin license years ago!
I just keep getting the cracked versions
Yeah, some dude named jellyfin on Github keeps uploading the latest versions
Really spammy today with all the Jellyfin glow up and Plex bashing. Plex works great, if you didn’t get a Plex Pass over a decade ago for $20 that’s your loss. Organisations can’t offer great services for free. Eventually Jellyfin will have to start charging, and eventually they will “suck” as well. You young people haven’t been on this rollercoaster long enough to see history repeat itself again and again and again. So have fun with your Jellyfin
Oh wow, look at you!
You’re conveniently ignoring the part where Plex requires you to have an account on their server and has had a recent data breach. JF has exactly zero risk of that.
if you didn’t get a Plex Pass over a decade ago for $20 that’s your loss.
Not sure if serious, but you’re aware jellyfin is FOSS and selfhosted, right?
Eventually they will add features or have to add functionality that incurs licensing costs that will have to be passed on to users in exactly the same way as Plex found
Why? Why exactly would they have to add something that requires licensing? And if they do, why would the community not simply fork it to remove it?
Money?
I’d rather donate $750 to Jellyfin than pay $750 to Plex for Lifetime.
No, really. We don’t actually need your money. At least, not here and now.
We have over $24,000 in the bank, and with average monthly expenses of only ~$600, that’s over 40 months (3.3 years) of runway! So, we have plenty of money for the near future.
Thus, at this time, we want you to seriously consider donating to the authors of Clients you use, instead of (or in addition to) the main project. Client support is the hardest part of the Jellyfin ecosystem to keep going, and most of them are maintained by only a single person or very small team.- Joshua Boniface, project admin
So give that applause-cash to a jellyfin client dev!
