Explore the latest developments concerning Plex’s 200% Lifetime.
Plex says that it has considered getting rid of Lifetime Passes.
As of July 1, at 12:01 am UTC—or June 30 at 8:01 pm ET—people seeking access to Plex’s media server features through a one-time purchase will have to pay $750. That’s three times the current price of $250.
The new price will not affect current Lifetime Plex Pass holders.
A Lifetime Plex Pass allows you to stream from your own Plex Media Server to a device connected to your own network, to stream from the server remotely, and to allow others to stream remotely from your server.
When first launched in 2012, a Lifetime Plex Pass was $75. In 2014, Plex increased the price to $150 because “at 2.5x the price of a yearly, it was priced in an unsustainable way for us,” Plex said in a blog post at the time. Eventually, lifetime passes were available for $120 for years until March 2025, when the price skyrocketed to $250. That brings us to today’s announcement.

I am dying to know how much money Plex is about to make the next six weeks charging people to stream their own video from their own homes. Today, it’s giving every prospective customer until July 1st to lock in a lifetime subscription at today’s rates — before it triples the price to $750.

The self-hosted movie and TV show streaming platform Plex has jacked up the cost of its lifetime pass 200% to $749.99. It's an insane move that will make users think twice about using the app.
For years, people with extensive digital home libraries of content have relied on Plex to create their own private in-house Netflix. However, after a change to how it is priced, some users may decide to look elsewhere.
The Lifetime Plex Pass is for users who want to use Plex to stream to their iPhone and Apple TV, but without paying a monthly or annual fee. However, while it was previously a hefty $249.99 charge in the United States, it is being increased considerably.
