Earlier this week Plex made headlines when it announced the price of a new lifetime Plex pass would triple to $750. <\/p>\n

“When Plex first started, we were movie and TV fans who wanted to make something great for people like us. We chose to offer a lifetime subscription early on because we knew many of our customers would rather pay a higher one-time fee for software that they can depend on every day,” the company said in a statement<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Plex revealed it considered eliminating the lifetime pass altogether, but opted to keep the “valuable option” for those in the Plex community. <\/p>\n

“So instead of retiring it, we\u2019re keeping it available at a price that reflects the real, ongoing value of the software we\u2019re committed to building and maintaining for years to come,” it concluded.<\/p>\n

While Plex is upping its price, the company is also introducing new content.<\/p>\n
