Plex Pass Premium Lifetime Subscription Expired

It's on par with recent Front Page deals. In May it was the same price but last Black Friday it was $90. The lowest it's ever been was $75 but that was way back in 2019 and all FP deals since then have been $88-100.

Previous FP deals here.

Also, it doesn't include any tv shows or movies or anything. I believe those are free to watch (with ads) no matter what. Here's an in-depth difference [plex.tv] but maybe some other users here could explain the difference better.

It is within a dollar or two of what you will probably ever get for a low price.

Basically what you get with the Lifetime Premium and not with the free basic is access to stream remotely...and I do not think that the online Plex channels are included with the free either. (I am not certain about the online Plex channels as I went premium before they became a thing) (FWIW, although I like the channels, this alone is not a reason to get it)

I think a lot will depend on if you will ever use this remotely. That was my question in the beginning.
I will just say this about Plex.. I bought the lifetime membership a few years ago, wondering if I was wasting money...and this is one of the most used things in my family.
It is by far and away one of the best purchases that I ever made...and no, I do not work for Plex and I have never had any contact with Plex outside of my subscription.

My situation is this. I travel to the coast a lot. I also went the cord-cutter route years ago. I have a 4 channel HD-HomeRun hooked up to an antenna in the attic of my home.
What I have found is that I either use a Roku or a Firestick (I have a few of both) to tune in my OTA TV via Plex, stream from my media server and watch a fair amount of the online channels that Plex has.
And because I can also stream all of this remotely, I get the same thing at the coast that I get in my primary home. Aside from the obvious benefit of the media server access and online Plex channels, even having the OTA access of my primary house is constantly used as it is much better than OTA at the coast.

Yes, the family does use Netflix, Prime, and Disney+...but Plex seems to get the most use.

I have even found some uses that I had never considered when I first set it up. One is having a few family members that have given me digitized copies of old Super-8 family films. I can load them on my media server and then send invitations to other family members... to allow them to stream these old home, family movies. Some members are stationed out of the country, so it would be a few years before they could get access otherwise.

And I have not even gotten into how my son can access Plex and utilize it while in college.

There are better alternatives. Emby and/or jellyfin. Both don't have all the trash that Plex has now and are just as easy to use and setup as Plex is.
