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.

          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.

          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

      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 !

    Unbelievable! I just recently switched to and started paying for Jellyfin Premium+ One Super Unlimited (with Ads) to see if I wanted to pay the lifetime license. I’m moving to JamRudder instead! This is a disgrace!!!

    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.

    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.

        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

        Even better when the world couldn’t afford such outrageous required specs at that time, most were searching for low cost “netbooks” iirc

    Back when I was a kid zero dollars… Er…pesos at the time… Meant something. It meant you could only go up from there.

    Now, with all these CEOs getting in the way between you and a good time, now it means nothing! Whatever! Fine make it 10x as expensive! See if we care!
