Plex Raises Lifetime Plex Pass to $750, Effective July 2026

Plex announced a $500 hike for its Lifetime Plex Pass, boosting the price from $250 to $750 and taking effect on July 1, 2026 at 12:01 a.m. UTC. Existing Lifetime Pass holders keep their benefits, and the standard Plex Pass (subscription) remains $7 per month or $70 per year. Buyers can still lock in the old price of $250 before the change. Plex says the increase funds ongoing development and outlines a roadmap that includes improved downloads (grouping by show) and updates to its mobile apps.

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.

Plex is a versatile media ecosystem that offers a free streaming service with a catalog of over 50,000 movies and TV shows, as well as a Live TV feature. However, where Plex truly shines is as a media management platform, allowing users to create their own streaming service by setting up the Plex app on their computer or NAS system and streaming their own media to various devices. Plex also offers a paid tier called Plex Pass, which adds additional features such as offline downloads and advanced sharing restrictions. One of Plex's newer features is the Universal Watchlist, which connects popular streaming services with the media you own, making it easier to keep track of shows and movies. Overall, Plex provides an easy-to-use media center experience, although its collection of free media and Live TV channels is limited.
