Plex Pass FAQs
Plex Pass is an optional subscription service, which provides additional features and benefits to pro subscribers who stream personal media files with Plex. It’s available as a recurring monthly or yearly plan, as well as a one-time lifetime payment. All the features and functionality of Plex Pass are the same regardless of subscription term (monthly/yearly/lifetime).
The list of features is long (and we’re always adding new ones). Some of our favorites are Skip Intro and Skip Credits, Hardware Transcoding, the power to download, and Plex DVR. See the full list of features and an explanation of each here.
No, a Plex Pass subscription does NOT change or add “premium” items on our free, on-demand Movies & Shows streaming service, nor does it offer additional channels in our free Live TV programming. It also doesn’t grant access to download any of our free, ad-supported content.
No, a Plex Pass subscription does NOT remove ads from our ad-supported, on-demand, or Live TV programming. We do not currently offer a paid way to remove ads from those free services.
