I've used both for an extensive amount of time, and found Plex to be superior in basically every way. It's both nicer to use, and the library is a bit easier to manage. Not to mention all the back-end things you might want to use if you're heavy into video usage
Plex user for over a decade and my only gripe is lack of accounts when internet goes out. When I'm self hosting, I kind of consider it a baseline for something like authentication to a local self hosted server to work without an internet connection.
Also the "recommended" bullshit. What the fuck. I know hat I'm hosting. I know what I download. Why does plex feel the need to force this as the default landing page? Honestly I with jellyfin was a bit more mature cause I'd use that instead.
