The only thing that plex has over jellyfin at the moment (in my opinion) is the simple sign on and user options that allow users to have their own usernames and not have to know anything about reverse-proxying a domain for jellyfin access. It's that little bit of back-end that you have to set up that's the problem for the 'normie' users that a lot of plex admins cater to. That, and there's some holes in where the jellyfin app is available.

And Plexamp.

And a decent AppleTV app.

There's plugins that can replace Plexamp

So it does the Sonic adventure on mobile in a free app? And has offline storage? And has a station creator?

I don't know what it has, I've never used it, I just know it exists, I assumed you meant music player

plex is still definitely easier to get started on. i don't begrudge anyone still going that route, i had a lifetime plexpass the last 8yrs i think. jellyfin is a great option if you either already know how to set things up and want full control. Or you're looking for an opportunity to learn more about reverse proxy, dns and authentication/access systems. plex is still i nice gateway drug.
