I never had the chance to try Plex, but how does it compare to Jellyfin? What kind of features does Plex have and Jellyfin does not and vice versa?

Examples of basic features I'm missing in Jellyfin:

Create a user-defined collection (like group of favourite movies)
Adding user-defined tags
Filtering by tags or any meaningful filtering
Filtering by languages (however this could be done by using combination of 2 different plugins that add tags and create collections)
[Important] No movie/show relations (e.g. The Lord of the Rings 1 -> 2 -> 3)
No way to know if movie/show belongs to any collection

given they finally finished their database refactor, maybe they'll finally start adding some of these

(copium)

You can't make collections in Jellyfin? It's available on my server

Maybe some apps don't support that? But I don't think Plex app does that either
