Now, the cost of the Remote Watch Pass is set to increase as of June 1, 2026.<\/p>\n<p class=\"anp-pro-p\">Users are now being informed that the cost of the Remote Watch Pass will increase from $1.99 per month to $2.99, and the yearly subscription will go up from $19.99 to $29.99.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"anp-pro-inline-figure\" style=\"margin:1.75em auto;text-align:center;max-width:100%\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"anp-pro-inline-img\" src=\"https:\/\/innovatenews.site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/google_preferred_source_badge_dark@2x-11.png\" alt=\"\" style=\"margin:0 auto;max-width:100%;width:auto;height:auto;object-fit:contain;object-position:center\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/figure>\n<p class=\"anp-pro-p\">This price hike isn\u2019t really a surprise, as the service was initially offered at introductory rates. Meanwhile,\u00a0 the price of Plex Pass isn\u2019t changing. It still costs $6.99 per month and $69.99 for the whole year.\u00a0 The last major price increase for Plex Pass happened in March last year, but given how things are going in the streaming space, we wouldn\u2019t be surprised if Plex Pass is next on the list for a rate hike.<\/p>\n<p class=\"anp-pro-p\">If you want to be immune to future Plex price hikes, you should probably opt for a lifetime Plex Pass that costs $249.99. It\u2019s a hefty sum to pay, but at least this way you won\u2019t have to keep paying more each year for premium features like remote streaming, downloads, and more.<\/p>\n<p class=\"anp-pro-p\">Thank you for being part of our community.
