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.

Thank goodness I got a lifetime Jellyfin license years ago!

I just keep getting the cracked versions

[–] exu@feditown.com 3 points 5 minutes ago

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

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

[–] eager_eagle@lemmy.world 47 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

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

[–] WalrusDragonOnABike@reddthat.com 22 points 54 minutes ago

Perhaps you paid x10 extra to get it without ads?

[–] Kirk@startrek.website 18 points 47 minutes ago

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 11 points 41 minutes ago

lol they got me.

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 4 points 22 minutes ago

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.

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 1 points 17 minutes ago

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.

[–] TheTechnician27@lemmy.world 8 points 52 minutes ago

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.

[–] jjlinux@lemmy.zip 4 points 30 minutes ago

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.

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
