Yes. I believe the paid version only gives you more possible nodes (where the transcoding is done), and more reports? But yes, you have the entire suite of tools necessary in the free version. It’s worked great for me, I’ve used it for a year and a half now

Agreed. I’ve converted my library all to 265 using Tdarr, I’m up to 11.5 TB of saved space. I like having all my media be uniform for my Plex server, and Tdarr is a nice and easy tool to achieve it

FMD2 (for auto-downloading manga), Komga (for hosting manga on a local server), and Tachiyomi for a self-hosted solution, if you’re interested.

The best I’ve found is Free Manga Downloader 2 (https://github.com/dazedcat19/FMD2). It’s not perfect, I have some gripes, but I have FMD2, mylar3, komga, and Tachiyomi (on my mobile devices) with the kogma extension for all my comic stuff. Works well enough for me
