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 also means if Plex ever goes under then remote access will stop working for you, your service only works as long as the company still exists. If jellyfin ever goes under, nothing changes. I realize this isn't a selfhosting sub, so I won't go too in depth on my tirade, but persnally, I want to selfhost everything, and I don't want to rely on any cloud based services that are outside of my control like Plex.
