Plex, a privately owned company headquartered in the US, is a tier 1 media tech buyer. Founded in 2009 and employing approximately 180 individuals, the company reported $119.1M in revenue as of 2023. The company specializes in media and TV services, operating as a media platform that combines a free, ad-supported streaming service with a personal media organization tool. The free service offers over 50,000 on-demand movies and shows, in addition to more than 600 live TV channels. A core offering is the Plex Media Server software, which enables users to organize personal collections of movies, TV shows, music, and photos, streaming them to any device. Plex also includes a universal watchlist for tracking titles across streaming services, provides movie rentals, and offers a premium 'Plex Pass' subscription that grants access to advanced features for personal media management, including a DVR and the 'Plexamp' music application.
On April 2, 2026, Plex expanded its free ad-supported streaming TV (FAST) lineup, adding a fresh batch of channels to its catalog, which now features over 600 live channels. Earlier the same day, Plex began rolling out a new interface to Fire TV devices, an update initially announced in late 2024 and first deployed on Apple TV devices in early 2025. This rollout also introduced a paid pass requirement for remote streaming on Fire TVs. Previously, on April 1, 2026, Plex Media Server officially ceased support and updates for 32-bit versions of Windows. This decision came in response to Microsoft ending support for Windows 10 in October 2025, marking a shift away from legacy PC compatibility for the personal streaming software.
