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.

This is outrageous! Im four times madder about this than I was before!

That’s almost 5 times!
hell make it 50 times!
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, and OS X Business for $129, and an OS X Ultimate for $129.
Few people even wanted vista for free
Even better when the world couldn’t afford such outrageous required specs at that time, most were searching for low cost “netbooks” iirc
Vista pricing tiers were absurd. It still is, but vista was extra.
yeah, it wanted a new computer. I installed it on a few boxes at work, it was pretty. In the end, driver issues and slow perf made it unreasonable
something is wrong with my instance, I’m not getting any ads here
Perhaps you paid x10 extra to get it without ads?
Ooh, good deal.
You poor bastard. How do you even consume enough to sustain?
To get ads on jellyfin you have to manually download and play them. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Thank goodness your subscription fees fund a quick and helpful support department! Open a ticket and they should help restore your ads!
Thank goodness I got a lifetime Jellyfin license years ago!

Have you not heard ? They will stop honoring it after the next update for totally reasonable reasons.
If you are quick you could get the special 20% off discount on your first month that they are offering to their highly esteemed lifetime subscribers !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.
yeah, the cynic in me thinks they’re just stoking the fomo to get more sales
So true! But I found a trick where you can get Jellyfin cheap if you buy it pretending to be a resident of another country. Here’s some prices:
- Vietnam - 0₫ (VND)
- India - ₹0 (INR)
- Indonesia - Rp0 (IDR)
- Philippines - ₱0 (PHP)
- Thailand - ฿0 (THB)
- Mexico - Mex$0 (MXN)
- Brazil - R$0 (BRL)
- South Africa - R0 (ZAR)
- Turkey - ₺0 (TRY)
- China - ¥0 (CNY)
- Malaysia - RM0 (MYR)
- Egypt - E£0 (EGP)
- Argentina - AR$0 (ARS)
- Japan - ¥0 (JPY)
- South Korea - ₩0 (KRW)
- Singapore - S$0 (SGD)
- Australia - A$0 (AUD)
- New Zealand - NZ$0 (NZD)
- Canada - C$0 (CAD)
- United Kingdom - £0 (GBP)
- European Union countries - €0 (EUR)
- United States - $0 (USD)
I paid $0.02, but due to the penny shortage it rounded down to $0.00.
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.
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
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.
dammit we have to donate even more now
Any changes to Jellyfin Premium+ One Super Unlimited (without Ads) this time? They just doubled it last year, if it goes any higher I’m out. I’m not gonna watch ads.
I heard that it was going 10x 🤪. My suggestion get a pihole and don’t pay the, checks calculation $0.00, plus you get ad blocking on a lot of the web.
I’m never paying for that. Another Open Source software enshit…
Wait, never mind, my wife canceled out JF subscription to be able to buy q new purse and some shoes.
Carry on boys.
Am I illegally using the docker container? Isn’t jellyfin free?
Sir this is not Reddit. We read the content here.
Clicks link to Reddit.
… What the fuck.
If running as rootless docker then it’s free. But, if running as rootful docker then pay up.
/s
you authorized the charge already
Its a joke
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?
it’s a gimmick guys, this is done so the memorial day 75% discount sale sound like a good deal, don’t be sheeple
I know I’ll be downvoted to oblivion but I’ve never had good luck with jellyfin. Plex has a lot of issues but in terms of just working, it’s been far superior ime.
You’re not the only one. I’ve been having an issue where Jellyfin just decides to use 90% of my server’s memory and cpu just for giggles and I haven’t had the time to unravel it so it’s just unusable at the moment.
Turn off transcoding and/or unify the codecs on your totally legally acquired library that you legally ripped yourself.
Have you tried trying again?
Actually yes, I’ve tried jellyfin like 3 times now. I’m sure I’ll try it again.
When did you last try cause comparing now to a few years ago is night and day
Eh, probably 10 months ago.
huh, funny. if Plex did something like this all the jellies would lose their fucking minds.
but no, y’all keep rolling around in the toxic waste dump you call jellyfin.
Read the post title and rushed straight to the comments?
no, I know it’s all in jest. but similarly if Plex would mock jellyfin like this the jellies would be big mad.
What would there be to mock? They could talk about bugs or features, but those are things that get updated with time on JF as well as Plex. Every other change is to do with enshitification which is a proprietary issue.
always have to be right, don’t you guys?
you’re not even arguing that the JF community would react differently. you’re arguing that the Plex team has nothing to mock JF for. that’s rather pretentious of you.
you keep being toxic and I’ll keep using Plex.
It’s embarrassing that a post like this makes you feel personally attacked.
you know, you’re absolutely right. you should be embarrassed.
I’m not the one making up posts mocking how a competitor runs their business, now am I? no…thats the core team from JF doing that. how pathetic. I guess this is why JF development is so slow, they’re too busy mocking other products.
good luck with all that toxic bullshit. I’ll be watching movies on Plex. Oops, sorry, that probably makes you mad knowing that, huh?
I got the lifetime plan on Black Friday back when it was $0.00 I’m really glad I did that now
We’re going to need to double Bezo’s taxes to pay for this.
I’m going to pirate it
I found some guy had the files on github
