I used both of them for a long time. Plex(amp) for music because it just works for streaming my collection everywhere I go and has a good UI. My own personal Spotify... And Jellyfin for everything else.

Now I built a new homelab server with a beefier AMD and proxmox, and decided to just switch to Plex for all my content. It has a better UI to my taste at least, but it also has these weird glitches sometimes where the video playback stutters if watching 4k material (where Jellyfin just worked).

I don't know really. For music Plex is definitely worth the subscription price, but these weird playback issues put me to consider alternatives for video content.

I just added jellyfin to my nas and deleted it again. It doesn't work without transcoding and the replies to people asking for the option are idiotic to say the least. Sometimes opensource software can be proper crap, what can you do. And plex is obviously faster, a lot faster. Maybe because it's not wasting resources on transcoding haha
