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?

If you really need public remote access and you can set up jellyfin, it's not much more difficult to set up authelia or LDAP with a reverse proxy and valid certs. I use tailscale and just leave simple auth with jellyfin since it's only myself and family accessing. I used to run Plex for the offloading of authentication to them but I'm with ya, FOSS should be free.
