 think it's important to talk about two things with Plex the first thing is price Plex is free we'll dig into the details here of course but I want to make sure everybody knows Plex is free for the most part they do have a Plex pass which is either five bucks a month 40 bucks a year or currently a hundred and twenty bucks for a lifetime that adds some additional features and I'll make sure to highlight which features those are you can definitely get started for free and that's how I recommend you get started so what is Plex well what Plex says is Plex brings together all the media that matters to you your personal collection will look beautiful alongside stellar streaming content enjoy live TV and DVR a growing catalog of great web shows news and podcast it's finally possible to enjoy all the media you love in a single app on any device no matter where you are
