- Plex said on May 19 it will raise the price of a new Lifetime Plex Pass to $749.99 on July 1. - The most telling number is the $499.99 jump from the current $250 lifetime price, as reported by Plex and cited by MacRumors. - July 1 is the cutoff date; Plex’s pricing post says new Lifetime Plex Pass purchases switch then.

Plex said on May 19 that it will raise the price of a new Lifetime Plex Pass to $749.99 effective July 1, according to a post on the company’s blog. The move lifts the one-time plan from its current $249.99 level by about $500. MacRumors and Android Authority both reported the increase after Plex published the new pricing details. For existing shoppers, the practical deadline is July 1, when the higher price takes effect. ### How big is the price increase? The new price is $749.99, up from $249.99 today, according to Plex’s pricing announcement. That is a $500 increase in dollar terms and roughly a tripling of the current lifetime plan price. MacRumors described the change as Plex tripling the Lifetime Plex Pass price, while Android Authority listed the new sticker price at $749.99. (plex.tv) ### When does the higher price start? July 1, 2026 is the effective date in Plex’s blog post. Until then, buyers can still purchase the Lifetime Plex Pass at the current $249.99 price, according to the same post and follow-up coverage from MacRumors and Android Authority. That makes the next six weeks the remaining window for anyone who was already considering the one-time plan. (plex.tv) ### What exactly did Plex announce? Plex published the change in a blog entry titled “New Lifetime Plex Pass Pricing.” The company said the increase applies to a new Lifetime Plex Pass purchase starting July 1. The announcement, as cited by MacRumors and Android Authority, did not describe this as a limited promotion or temporary adjustment; it presented the new number as the upcoming listed price. (plex.tv) ### Why does this matter to Plex users? A one-time subscription price matters because Lifetime Plex Pass has long been the upfront-payment option for users who expect to keep using Plex over several years. At $249.99, the lifetime tier sat in a range many heavy users could justify against recurring monthly or annual payments. At $749.99, the purchase becomes a much larger commitment, and the gap between buying before and after July 1 widens to $500. (plex.tv) That arithmetic is based on Plex’s posted prices rather than outside interpretation. ### What should a buyer watch next? July 1 is the next concrete milestone because that is when Plex says the new $749.99 price takes effect. Plex’s own blog post is the primary source for the date and amount, and MacRumors and Android Authority both pointed readers to that same deadline in their coverage. Anyone weighing the lifetime option now has a fixed cutoff and a published before-and-after price. (plex.tv)
