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
something is wrong with my instance, I’m not getting any ads here
Perhaps you paid x10 extra to get it without ads?
To get ads on jellyfin you have to manually download and play them. Sorry for the inconvenience.
it’s a gimmick guys, this is done so the memorial day 75% discount sale sound like a good deal, don’t be sheeple
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.
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?
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!!!
This is outrageous! Im four times madder about this than I was before!
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!
