Plex has announced price hikes for its services starting April 29th. The company’s monthly subscription will increase from $4.99 to $6.99, while the annual plan will rise from $39.99 to $69.99. A lifetime plan will also see a significant jump from $119.99 to $249.99.
However, it’s not all bad news for Plex users. The company is removing the one-minute playback limitation on its mobile app for local network streaming, which is now set to become free with no restrictions. This change will be implemented when Plex releases its revamped mobile experience later this year.
To access remote playback and share content with others, users will need a Plex Pass subscription starting April 29th. However, existing lifetime subscribers will not be affected by the price changes.
Plex’s new pricing structure aims to provide resources for improving the personal media experience. The company believes that these changes will help drive growth and competitiveness in the streaming market.
