Organizing your content can be something of a time-suck but there are apps and software available that will make it a breeze, plus give you more avenues to explore for movies, TV shows, and music. Plex has been around for years, and it’s still one of the most user-friendly and reliable options that you can find, with virtually every platform supported and tons of ways to customize it to your needs. To get the absolute most out of the experience, you can upgrade to Plex Pass which brings the option of enabling the PC’s GPU to transcode media if you are using Plex Media Server, free access to the mobile apps, and extras such as trailers.
If all that sounds great, you can pick up a lifetime subscription to Plex Pass for just $95.99 instead of $119.99, saving a handy $24 over the regular price and a whole lot more if you’ve been paying for a monthly subscription.

What Does Plex Pass offer over the free version?
The basic (and free) Plex account allows you to organize your library of music, TV shows, and movies, with access to over 600 live TV channels plus ad-supported Movies and TV Show streaming channels. If you connect an antenna and a tuner you can also catch live TV broadcasts over the air. With apps for virtually every platform you can think of including smart TVs, gaming consoles, Roku, Apple TV, Android TV, and more, Plex is the versatile content software that keeps on giving. You’ll also have access to the Plex Media Server client which can be installed on your Mac or Windows machine, making it into a content server.
The free Plex account brings many features, but upgrading to Plex Pass expands the abilities of those features and adds even more into the mix. Including the following:
- Plexamp Exclusives: Access members-only Plexamp features like Sonic Sage, Guest DJ, Mix Builders, Related Tracks, and more.
- Plex Dash: Fix up artwork. Refresh libraries. Inspect nerdy media details—all from the palm of your hand with our exclusive custom app.
- Ultimate TV & DVR: With Plex Pass plus your tuner and antenna, you can watch, rewatch, and record your favorite HD broadcast content.
- Trailers & Extras: Recreate a cinema experience with trailers that play before your movie. Dive into a movie with deleted scenes and gag reels.
- Hardware Transcoding: Convert and stream HD or 4K video more smoothly to more devices at once, even when you’re far from home.
- Skip Intro + Credits: Intros and credits can now be skipped automatically (bye-bye button), disabled (for credit lovers), or chosen manually each time via the Skip Credits button.
- Rewind on Resume: Resume playback at none or various preset intervals between 1 to 30 seconds prior to the pause.
- The Power to Download: Bring all your favorite personal movie and music collections wherever you roam, no internet required. Remember to call shotgun!
- Pass Out Protection: To help prevent videos from autoplaying if you fall asleep, you can choose from several options to stop (or not stop) playback.
