Yes. The free plan isn't a trial and doesn't run out. It has films, TV, music, audiobooks, books and photos, streaming at home and away, hardware transcoding, skip intro, downloads and unlimited accounts. All it takes is a free Collectoh account for whoever sets up the server.
Yes, a free Collectoh account, but only you, as the server's owner. You sign in with it when you set up your server, and it's where you look after Plus if you choose it. The people you invite don't need one: they sign in to your server, and can add an email address when they accept your invitation.
No. Everyone you invite streams free, at home and away, whichever plan you're on. And when you have Plus, everyone on your servers gets its features too.
One of yours, and everyone you share it with. You choose which on your account, and Plus can move to another of yours once in 30 days. Moving your server to a new computer takes Plus with it.
No. Radio, Segue, synced lyrics and every other music feature are free, and OhAmp, our music app, will be too when it arrives.
Courses; games, with older consoles played in the browser; full customisation, from your own logo and themes to custom fields and library types of your own; libraries on your own cloud storage (your OneDrive, Google Drive, Dropbox or S3-compatible bucket, which Collectoh connects to but doesn't provide or pay for); Watch Together; face recognition and photo tagging; search by meaning; webhooks, pre-roll videos, optimised copies and your server's statistics; priority support; and early access to the apps for phones, tablets and TVs. It also pays for the work on everything else, which stays free.
One payment of $49.99$20 while the founder deal lasts ($49.99 once it ends), and Plus is on for as long as Collectoh is offered, with no renewals.
Any time, from your account. If you cancel, Plus stays on until the end of the time you've paid for, and your server carries on with everything in Free.
Point Collectoh at the same folders. It reads the naming Plex, Jellyfin and Kodi users already know, and the NFO files and artwork beside your media, so an existing library usually needs no changes. How to name your files has the details.
