Is a plex subscription worth it? (lemm.ee)

I want to unlock the ability to view content on my mobile device. I can do that with a one-time purchase (payed with google opinion rewards) or with a subscription. I want to unlock the ability for my entire family though, across multiple devices. Do I have to pay the "one-time payment" for every device? If so, the plex subscription might be worth it. Is there any other major benefit to having a plex subscription?

It’s weakness is client side apps. Most are web apps and not native. It’s getting better but in comparison plex has native apps on almost everything.

I’m a lifetime plex pass user since 2016

I personally dislike the Plex apps, but yeah its native support is unmatched. The official Jellyfin app for Android gets the job done but isn't native. However, Findroid seems like the future to me on Android and I use the Kodi plugin on my TV (which is amazing).

Even as a lifetime plex pass subscriber, I have ditched it completely in favor of Jellyfin.

This. I use game consoles as my base so I can stream and play games from one place.

Jellyfin for xbox is using the controls to move a cursor around

However Swiftfin and Findroid are making slow but steady progress for mobile devices.
