Plex Watch-Pass Refugee Migrator That Carries Watched State, Per-User Libraries, and Friend Shares Into Jellyfin Before the June 1 50% Price Hike
Plex bumped Remote Watch Pass from $1.99 to $2.99/mo on June 1, 2026 (50% jump), on top of the 2025 lifetime-pass move from $120 to $250 and the Discover Together opt-out fiasco. The wave of users actually trying to leave is the largest in Plex's history. Existing migration tools (PlexToJellyfin, JellyPlex-Watched, watchstate) sync watched state and that's it. Demand is for a one-installer tool that ALSO migrates per-user libraries (managed users), share permissions to friends/family, playlist structure, and 'continue watching' position offsets, plus generates the Jellyfin user accounts in the same flow.
Time-box to ship before June 1. The marketing is the news cycle, not the product. Free download with an optional $19 'one-time concierge' Discord support upsell, no SaaS. People migrating from Plex to escape a subscription will not pay you a subscription.

Watched-state migration is solved. The full-fidelity household migration (users, shares, playlists, libraries, continue-watching) is not. With the June 1 price hike landing, this is a 60-day window.
