It was definitely worth it for the $40 I paid a long time ago. I used it a little longer than desired because Jellyfin’s DVR support wasn’t always there. It is now and i haven’t used Plex in over a year. IMHO, Jellyfin needs a bit better UI, but Plex is actively making theirs worse, so…

Bought one like 12 years ago. Not using plex anymore for over 8 years because closed source bullshit.

Wow, I paid €118 for it in 2022, but then stopped using it around 2024 or early 2025 when it started to enshittify. In general though, I think lifetime subscriptions for services that cost a company money are a shitty business model. Its like a pyramid scheme.
