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.

lol they got me.

eager_eagle@lemmy.world on 22 May 12:39 next collapse

something is wrong with my instance, I’m not getting any ads here

WalrusDragonOnABike@reddthat.com on 22 May 12:54 collapse

Perhaps you paid x10 extra to get it without ads?

Zachariah@lemmy.world on 22 May 12:41 next collapse

Thank goodness I got a lifetime Jellyfin license years ago!

BonsaiBoo@lemmy.world on 22 May 12:42 next collapse

I just keep getting the cracked versions

exu@feditown.com on 22 May 13:43 collapse

Yeah, some dude named jellyfin on Github keeps uploading the latest versions

frank@sopuli.xyz on 22 May 14:49 collapse

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

Dultas@lemmy.world on 22 May 15:12 collapse

Just mirror it locally in that small GitHub uptime window.

mrmaplebar@fedia.io on 22 May 13:59 next collapse

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.

Zachariah@lemmy.world on 22 May 14:02 collapse

yeah, the cynic in me thinks they’re just stoking the fomo to get more sales

Admax@social.tchncs.de on 22 May 14:01 collapse

@Zachariah
@eager_eagle
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 !

TheTechnician27@lemmy.world on 22 May 12:56 next collapse

I’ll bet they’re using dirty rounding tricks too to misrepresent the price. For all we know, it could be as high as 6600 Iranian rials. Outrageous.

expatriado@lemmy.world on 22 May 12:59 next collapse

it’s a gimmick guys, this is done so the memorial day 75% discount sale sound like a good deal, don’t be sheeple

Kirk@startrek.website on 22 May 13:01 next collapse

I got the lifetime plan on Black Friday back when it was $0.00 I’m really glad I did that now

androidul@lemmy.world on 22 May 13:07 next collapse

dammit we have to donate even more now

jjlinux@lemmy.zip on 22 May 13:18 next collapse

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.

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.

Reannlegge@lemmy.ca on 22 May 13:31 collapse

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.

aeronmelon@lemmy.world on 22 May 13:26 next collapse

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, an OS X Business for $129, and an OS X Ultimate for $129.

CompactFlax@discuss.tchncs.de on 22 May 13:54 collapse

Vista pricing tiers were absurd. It still is, but vista was extra.

4am@lemmy.zip on 22 May 13:38 next collapse

I remember I got Jellyfin Lifetime for only $0.00 back in like 2018 before that started unlocking all their new features behind a nonpaywall

favoredponcho@lemmy.zip on 22 May 13:49 next collapse

See, Jellyfin is just as bad as Plex. /s

I’d rather donate $750 to Jellyfin than pay $750 to Plex for Lifetime.

TrickDacy@lemmy.world on 22 May 14:23 next collapse

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.

GreenKnight23@lemmy.world on 22 May 14:34 next collapse

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?

Wait til John Jellyfin hears about this!

antlion@lemmy.dbzer0.com on 22 May 15:19 next collapse

Joking aside, I do have a lifetime subscription to Emby, which shares a lot of the same code as Jellyfin. But the lifetime subscription was $99 which I viewed as a thank you donation to the developer(s). In the past 5 years or so it has been an excellent value.

Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works on 22 May 15:20 next collapse

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

Ham and cheese sandwich.
