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?

I feel like it is, but, be on the lookout for a sale and get the lifetime option when there's a sale.

Do you know if there's any frequency to the sale? Like, once per year? Once per quarter? Every major holiday? Or you haven't a clue?

I don't really pay attention having bought the lifetime pass years ago, but I do see mentions of it being on sale at least a couple times per year. You may wait for black friday in November if you're interested but don't mind waiting.

I'm not sure. I remember I was waiting for it to go on sale when I needed it, and it happened pretty quickly. But I don't know if it happens at any set intervals.

Pretty sure they do the discount on Black Friday. Or used to, anyway.

It goes on sale a couple times a year. If you check Slickdeals, you can find the last few times it was on sale. It is always on sale during Black Friday though.
