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
Yeah, some dude named jellyfin on Github keeps uploading the latest versions
Eh, I’d rather fork out the money than try the 1% chance GitHub is up to download it. Piracy is a service issue
Just mirror it locally in that small GitHub uptime window.

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 !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.
I paid $0.02, but due to the penny shortage it rounded down to $0.00.
if taco johns sold it for that, it’d cost you $0.05. they round even 1c or 6c up to the next higher nickel.
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
yeah, the cynic in me thinks they’re just stoking the fomo to get more sales

Love my jellyfin setup. Podman + roku app is 🤌
Does this mean I have to quadruple my donation?
I am not going to say no.
it’s a gimmick guys, this is done so the memorial day 75% discount sale sound like a good deal, don’t be sheeple
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.
I only have Francs, can you convert?
dammit we have to donate even more now
something is wrong with my instance, I’m not getting any ads here
Perhaps you paid x10 extra to get it without ads?
Ooh, good deal.
Thank goodness your subscription fees fund a quick and helpful support department! Open a ticket and they should help restore your ads!
To get ads on jellyfin you have to manually download and play them. Sorry for the inconvenience.
You poor bastard. How do you even consume enough to sustain?
lol they got me.
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.
Few people even wanted vista for free
Even better when the world couldn’t afford such outrageous required specs at that time, most were searching for low cost “netbooks” iirc
Vista pricing tiers were absurd. It still is, but vista was extra.
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

I got the lifetime plan on Black Friday back when it was $0.00 I’m really glad I did that now
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
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.
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.
I’d rather donate $750 to Jellyfin than pay $750 to Plex for Lifetime.
No, really. We don’t actually need your money. At least, not here and now.
We have over $24,000 in the bank, and with average monthly expenses of only ~$600, that’s over 40 months (3.3 years) of runway! So, we have plenty of money for the near future.
Thus, at this time, we want you to seriously consider donating to the authors of Clients you use, instead of (or in addition to) the main project. Client support is the hardest part of the Jellyfin ecosystem to keep going, and most of them are maintained by only a single person or very small team.- Joshua Boniface, project admin
So give that applause-cash to a jellyfin client dev!
that’s the neat part, you can’t. He does not accept donations. I tried
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.
