Plex to increase subscription prices by 108%

Plex, the streaming service, announced today that it will increase its prices for the first time in ten years. The price hike will be significant, rising by 108%. Currently, Plex offers many services for free, but premium features require a Plex Pass subscription. The standard free service will still be available, but remote streaming will now cost $2 per month. The lifetime Plex Pass is increasing from $120 to $250. The monthly subscription will rise from $5 to $7, while the annual plan will jump from $40 to $70. These price changes will take effect on April 29. Customers who have already purchased the lifetime pass will not be affected by the increase. This is a final opportunity for new subscribers to get Plex at a lower price before it becomes more expensive. Plex is also adding new features, including ratings and reviews from Common Sense Media, a new server management app, and improvements to playback. The company stated that it carefully considered these changes to maintain quality and value for users.
