Dear Plex Community,

We’re reaching out with an important pricing update. Starting July 1, 2026, the price of a new Lifetime Plex Pass will increase to $749.99 USD*.

When we started Plex, 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.

What’s changing:

• The price of a new Lifetime Plex Pass will increase to $749.99 USD* on July 1, 2026, at 12:01 AM UTC.

What’s not changing:

• All current Lifetime Plex Pass holders will continue to have access to all benefits and perks associated with a Plex Pass. (Nothing will change for you.)
• Monthly & annual subscription pricing for Plex Pass and Remote Watch Pass will remain unchanged.

The focus for us here at Plex as we move forward is to continue making Plex the definitive app for anyone who loves movies, TV, music, and curating a personal library of content that you control. We’ve heard from you through our surveys, forum posts, and social media, and we take your feedback into account as we develop our roadmap. To learn more about what we’re working on right now, check out our blog or visit us in the forums.

For every library you’ve created, poster you’ve changed, bug report submitted, forum post written, and feature suggestions made, from all of us at Plex, thank you for being here and for continuing to support what we’re building.

You are the reason we keep building.
The Plex Team
