Iirc Plex supports transcoding for downloads, while Jellyfin only allows downloading the original file. But I’ve heard transcoding downloads is broken on Plex, so ymmv.
Intro skip is only available as a plugin on Jellyfin.
Also, Findroid has a better ui and supports downloads, while the official app has more features (ie. settings/admin panel).
Whilst some might not find it a huge deal, not being able to shuffle all episodes of a specific TV show is a deal breaker for me. I do have Jellyfin deployed and configured, ready to go for when the feature arrives.
Plex feels a lot more polished as well, but I can get over that.
What are some missing features? I’m only familiar with jellyfin

Didn’t know about findroid, looks cool
I’ll probably keep both installed
They have both good usecases. I have findroid installed on my families devices since all they need is just playing media. It is great for that.
I myself have both because I can administrate the server from my phone via the official app. I also use mostly findroid for watching my media.
Findroid keeps saying it’s not supported on my Pixel 7 for some reason
Thats because if you get it from f-droid, it is on Izzy’s repo and there only the 32 bit version is available. The Pixel 7 is 64 bit only.
I have the same issue, solved it by using obtainium and getting the package directly from their github.
Sure enough, that fixed it, thanks.
What’s the deal with devs not keeping up with FDroid repos?
Izzys repo is not fdroid. And the developers never managed to put it themselves on fdroid. So its a mess of many things.

I shuffled all episodes of a show on jellyfin yesterday FYI. Not sure when it was rolled out.
Yep. It’s there for me on the Android app.
Also on Roku with a recent update
The latest roku updates have it. Unsure about the browser capability. I wouldassumed it has it.
That feature exists on several Jellyfin clients. Which client in particular have you been using that lacks it?
