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.

Am I illegally using the docker container? Isn’t jellyfin free?
Sir this is not Reddit. We read the content here.

… What the fuck.
you authorized the charge already
Its a joke
Solid shitpost!
Back when I was a kid zero dollars… Er…pesos at the time… Meant something. It meant you could only go up from there.
Now, with all these CEOs getting in the way between you and a good time, now it means nothing! Whatever! Fine make it 10x as expensive! See if we care!

Is plex an acronym?
Not in this context, but I did find this one

I bought 10 licenses and will give them away for free. Just answer me the title of your favorite book. First come first served

The art of the deal. Which I’ve read so many times I will negotiate you down to just $200 for one of these licenses

I can barely afford to pay attention, now they want 4x as much? Who the fuck can afford 4 * $0 in the current economy?!
That’s $0 USD, that’s like $0CAD plus $0 HST.
Dont forget the vat
Well that’s it. I’m going back to USB sticks.

Haven’t you heard the price of memory is skyrocketing?
There’s always kodi and xbmc /j
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’m dead
I will wait to buy it at black Thursday.
Does this mean I have to quadruple my donation?
I am not going to say no.
Why arr you paying for Jrllyfin?
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?
I was using VLC, but after they converted their cost into a subscription platform of $0 a month I had to move. Was going to use Jellyfin, but now this… Guess I’m gonna have to start putting all my media on film
If you go the film route, consider using 8mm. Even though some people thinks it’s still too experimental i find the file compression to be far superior (one third file size after transcoding my library from VHS -> 8mm film) and they barely burst into flames.
Besides who has movie nights without drinks nearby you can put on the fire?
Make sure you use mixed drinks and not hard liquor as that will not put out fire and make your insurance company really annoying.
I heard on AIM that Winamp is good.
It really
kickswhips the llama’s ass!Whips!?
Listen, for pulling that out of my memories from 20 years ago, I’m pretty happy with it
Sips?
What a ripoff. I’ll be moving to plex thank you very much.
Same! They only tripled their price! Guess who’s winning now.
Ngl, you got me there in the first half XD
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
Eh, I’d rather fork out the money than try the 1% chance GitHub is up to download it. Piracy is a service issue
Just mirror it locally in that small GitHub uptime window.
Yeah, I really missed the boat getting in on it when it was $0.00…
Now I’d better get it at $0.0 before it shoots up to $0 next year.
I paid $0.02, but due to the penny shortage it rounded down to $0.00.
In Ukraine, you’d regularly get a box of matches instead of the equivalent of pennies in small stores because they’re nigh useless there
if taco johns sold it for that, it’d cost you $0.05. they round even 1c or 6c up to the next higher nickel.
yeah, the cynic in me thinks they’re just stoking the fomo to get more sales
