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?

Open in browser.

Done. Doesn't seem like that many hoops.

OK great. Now to that on your Roku, Apple TV, Nvidia Shield, smart phone, etc. There aren't clients for every platform and the ones that do exist frankly are just not even close to as polished looking as Plex is.

Fortunately Roku doesn't exist in my country. Jellyfin has apps for AndroidTV, AppleTV and smartphones. It really only lacks an app for consoles

Not a good option, at least on desktop it doesn't direct play hevc
