    For like a month. Then you need to be important and pay them.

    Edit: for the current/legacy API. The new API is free, but limited.

      Yeah, but the limit seems to be more than appropriate for most people anyway, so I think their pricing model is pretty reasonable

        It’s also $12 a year ($15 normally).

        It’s a small price to pay to ensure everything on your Plex server has subtitles. Subtitling stuff and hosting it isn’t free.

          Exactly. I’m all for hating on subscriptions, but this is more than a fair price. Just eat at home instead of buying out for one day a year and it pays for it lol
