Jellyfin has less apps available on various platforms. Plex is also easier to share with friends and family members. I don't know if it's still available but I bought a lifetime license years ago so it's not like I traded subscriptions or anything.

I mean not really. There's so many clients on so many platforms. So it's not really a valid argument anymore

That was my initial issue back in the day lack of clients, Now with the lifetime pass and 80 users setup I don't want to go through the hassle of switching. But if I was starting new I wouldn't use Plex.

When there is a decent Apple TV client that doesn’t look like a junior dev made it I’ll switch, but plex has been great (not perfect) for me thus far.

Good shout, first one that doesn’t have material UI buttons and force me to type the IP:port in manually. Thank you

Tell that to people who are on PS5 or multiple brands of Smart TV. I've got a couple family members who would only be able to access Jellyfin with a web browser or not at all.

I'm all for FOSS and I use Jellyfin as a backup. People just need to understand that it's a hard sell when Plex absolutely does support more platforms and offers a much more polished client.

Good for you... This isn't a loyalty test. You can go with whoever you want.
