Plex Offers 5-Year Pass for $250 as Lifetime Option Fades
Plex now sells a five-year membership pass for $250, replacing the previous $250 lifetime pass. The change pushes users toward recurring payments while still granting access to premium features like hardware transcoding. Existing lifetime pass holders are unaffected.

The shift from lifetime to term-limited passes signals Plex's need for predictable revenue, but risks alienating loyal users who valued the one-time purchase model.
