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.

Organisations can't offer great services for free.

The point of self-hosting is that you're not dependent on a service from a company. You're literally hosting the service yourself. Also with Plex. So essentially you're paying them AND you're doing the work for them.

And no, why would Jellyfin have to start charging? That's the whole point of FOSS software. They get their money from donations and support programs and whatnot. They don't have to succumb to the bullshit that is perpetual growth.
