Plex for your own stuff is free.
Plex for their live TV and movies is free, but there are ads. And the TV and movies are tripe.
You would only pay if you wanted to for a Plex Pass, which offers extra features nobody would want anyway. Well, I wouldn't.
So effectively it's free.
You do have to set up your folders in a certain way and name things in a certain way to make it see them. Once you've got that, it presents a great consistent front end across all devices which it populates with data about the programme from the net. So you can easily see all your content that has a certain actor, director, year, genre - the usual kind of thing.
I put the Panasonic smart TV Plex app on a family member's TV and that extremely non techy person can and does now watch my extensive library of stuff remotely at will. Another does the same using their Mac. And my basic Pc media server never stutters even when serving different things to all three of us simultaneously. I do have fast broadband.
It's a nice product.
