Bonjour Irving,

As a general rule, you will pronounce the -s when "plus" means "more" and the -s will be silent when "plus" means "no more/less" as part of a negation:

J'ai plus d'argent que toi I have more money than you -> [plus]

C'est le plus intéressant = It's the most interesting -> [pluz]

Je n'ai plus d'amis = I don't have any more friends => [plu]

Take a look at one of our partners' link about the pronunciation of "plus"Plus pronunciation

I hope this is helpful.

Bonne journée !
