Honest
Where Plex is ahead
A fair comparison says this plainly.
- Apps and polish
- Plex has refined apps on almost every TV, console and phone. Jellyfin covers most devices, with a less uniform experience.
- Free content
- Plex adds free ad-supported films and live TV channels to your library. Jellyfin plays only what you own.
- Big libraries
- If you need tens of terabytes with drive redundancy, a dedicated NAS is the better home for your files.
Earn
Movie night is a few hours. The server is on all day.
Most of the day your media server is idle. On ALL1, when there is spare compute, bandwidth or storage, it can run approved workloads for verified businesses on the ALL network, in sandboxes that cannot read your library. You are paid for actual usage.
*50% node operator, 20% to community.
Earnings depend on real network demand, the apps you run, your uptime, bandwidth and location. They are not guaranteed and can be zero. ALL1 is sold as a personal server with bundled services, not as an investment.
You choose what runs
Set it to automatic or approve every app yourself. Anything can be stopped in one tap.
Only verified services connect
Every company and developer is vetted before reaching the network.
Apps stay in their sandbox
Each app gets only the resources it was granted. It cannot read your files or other apps.
Usage is metered, payouts follow
CPU, bandwidth and storage are measured. Your 70%* is paid in USD or USDC.
Included
More than a media server
A Plex Pass unlocks one app. ALL1 ships with these configured and included for five years.
Home VPN
Reach your home network securely from anywhere, whether you're at a café, a hotel or the office. Your apps, files and devices stay one tap away, with no third-party server in the middle.
5× Premium VPN
Five Premium VPN seats for your phones, laptops and family, each valid for 5 years. Browse privately on public Wi-Fi and any network through our VPN partner's servers.
Ad blocking
Network-wide ad and tracker blocking for every device on your Wi-Fi, including smart TVs and consoles that can't run a blocker. Nothing to install on each device, nothing to configure.
IoT integration
Bring your smart-home devices into one place, across brands, and control them from a single app. Set up routines once and let your ALL1 run them for you at home.
100 GB residential proxy, included
Every ALL1 comes with 100 GB of residential proxy traffic, worth about $500 at average market prices. Used it all? Top up any time at $2 per GB, an owner-only price.
One payment, no monthly fee for the bundled services during the 5-year period. Extra drives are a one-time purchase.
