Is a plex subscription worth it? - eviltoast

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?

    Jellyfin is a great alternative if you’re okay with webports.

    Plex is definitely worth plex pass though. Many features and it works well on any device.

      Eh, plex has been super buggy on my FireTV Cube. For some reason it always jumps back like 6 episodes in a show or just picks a random season when we resume playing the next day.

        I totally agree, Plex is good but hardly worth that price given the issues and bugs.

        I’d buy it if it were a lower price or worked better!
