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.

      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 !

          Eh, I’d rather fork out the money than try the 1% chance GitHub is up to download it. Piracy is a service issue

      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.

          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

    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 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.

    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.

        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.

                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 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.
