I think it depends on what client devices you have. Last time I checked, some content (like HDR) won't play on Apple TV via Jellyfin unless you spring for a relatively expensive paid client (like Infuse). The open source client won't work.
Infuse is only $10 per year and that includes on your Apple TV and iPhone. It really is quite slick and looks really good.
Agreed. This is not expensive at all. 100% worth the value which is less than a dollar a month.
FWIW, my Plex Pass has worked to be much less than that since I purchased it.
Much (not all) of the negative I see about Plex is associated with cost of a Plex Pass. If subscribing monthly, it costs more. If you play the long game with the Lifetime Pass, it’s dirt cheap and pretty darn solid.
$1/month or $10 year. I’d say that’s relatively cheap as far as paid media apps go but certainly more expensive than free.
I'm only interested in one-time purchases, so I just saw the $75 and decided it was too expensive. It's also just a hurdle to get over. Right now, my Apple account doesn't even have a payment method associated with it, because I generally just use free / FOSS apps.
