What £9.99 actually buys you.
- If you have 200 movies and 12 seasons of one show, Free is enough.
- If you have 30+ TV shows and want Plex to auto-match titles, Pro pays for itself in the first hour.
- If you only want to strip metadata from one folder, Free.
Cinax Pro is one payment of £9.99, ever. Not a subscription. Not a yearly licence. Not a "free for personal use" trap that demands a commercial fee when you scale. You buy the key, you keep the key. Every Cinax update through v2 is free to existing Pro buyers, including the upcoming modules.
Practically, Pro turns a manual workflow into a one-click workflow. The Free tier handles the mechanical work of renaming and stripping. Pro adds the intelligence — looking up the show in TVDB to fill in actual episode titles, applying Plex's exact naming conventions automatically, undoing entire batches if you change your mind a week later. For a single-season DVD rip you can probably get away with Free. For a 12-season library, Pro pays for itself in the first hour you don't have to spend manually fixing matches in Plex.
