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.

Thank goodness I got a lifetime Jellyfin license years ago!
I just keep getting the cracked versions
it’s a gimmick guys, this is done so the memorial day 75% discount sale sound like a good deal, don’t be sheeple
something is wrong with my instance, I’m not getting any ads here
To get ads on jellyfin you have to manually download and play them. Sorry for the inconvenience.
This is how you capitalize on someone else’s mistake. Made me actually laugh.
It reminds me of Apple’s response to Vista’s pricing tiers in 2007.
During the Apple keynote that year they said there was going to be an OS X Basic for $129, an OS X Premium for $129, an OS X Business for $129, and an OS X Ultimate for $129.
This is outrageous! Im four times madder about this than I was before!
I’d rather donate $750 to Jellyfin than pay $750 to Plex for Lifetime.
No, really. We don’t actually need your money. At least, not here and now.
We have over $24,000 in the bank, and with average monthly expenses of only ~$600, that’s over 40 months (3.3 years) of runway! So, we have plenty of money for the near future.
Thus, at this time, we want you to seriously consider donating to the authors of Clients you use, instead of (or in addition to) the main project. Client support is the hardest part of the Jellyfin ecosystem to keep going, and most of them are maintained by only a single person or very small team.- Joshua Boniface, project admin
So give that applause-cash to a jellyfin client dev!
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.
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
lol they got me.
I bought a plex pass about 5 years ago. I figured it would be a reasonable long term investment. I am starting to think I should have just gone with Jellyfin to start with.
Well that’s it. I’m going back to USB sticks.

Haven’t you heard the price of memory is skyrocketing?
Wait til John Jellyfin hears about this!

I just got a refund, I’m moving to Real Player
Don’t forget to renew your WinRAR license while you’re at it.
He’ll get to it after the buffering

It’s only because it is a large mp3 okay?
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
