Plus you can easily run them side by side. I setup jellyfin a while back when Plex used to charge users for streaming on mobile but now they don't if the server owner has a Plex pass.

For me Plex is still a lot simpler to manage if you have a lot of users, and if users have their own servers they share with you

    I did that for a bit, but there was a noticeable increase in power usage on my server for something I'm not using.

    Power usage? Both systems should be doing basically nothing unless they're re-indexing - which is generally done on-demand. I can understand using up a bit of memory for the basic service and an imperceptible amount of CPU time, but why would it be using more power?
