Plex Boosts Lifetime Pass to $750, Sets July 1 Lock-In Deadline
Plex will raise the Lifetime Plex Pass price from $249.99 to $749.99 on July 1, 2026, after already doubling from $119.99 to $249.99 in March; buyers can lock in the current $249.99 price until 12:01 AM UTC on July 1. Plex says it would rather push recurring subscriptions to fund ongoing development, and existing lifetime holders are unaffected. The shift means you’d need roughly 11 years of current annual pricing to break even on a lifetime purchase, while Plex continues to offer local streaming for free and keeps remote streaming gated behind a subscription.
