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?

The catch is that you need to set this up ahead of time as it can't be done while in the middle of an outage. Also you'll only be able to access the main server owner account.

Outages don't happen too often these days, but I run Emby alongside Plex and it comes in handy in situations like this.
