TL;DR
- Plex’s Lifetime Plex Pass, which offers access to premium Plex features for as long as the service continues to operate, is drastically increasing in price.
- The lifetime plan is increasing from $249.99 to $749.99 starting on July 1.
- Previous lifetime subscription purchases are unaffected. Monthly and annual rates are not changing.
To get the most out of personal media streaming platform Plex, you’ll want to subscribe to the service’s Plex Pass offering that enables features like remote streaming and over-the-air downloads of your media for offline viewing. The most price effective way to get a Plex Pass has historically been to buy a lifetime membership — but starting soon, that’s getting a lot more expensive.
Plex announced in a blog post today that, starting this summer, the cost of a Lifetime Plex Pass subscription is jumping from $249.99 all the way up to $749.99, a 3x increase that’s got us doing back-of-the-envelope math about our streaming habits years into the future.
