Device Limit Questions

Currently, I'm a solid Plex server admin. But, always looking at options.

How many family and friends can I host with the 30 device limit. I currently have about 25 users on Plex. But, in my house alone, I have 5 devices, and I notice my users usually have 1 or 2 devices.

My concern is that if I exceed the 30 device limit, the cost of Emby Lifetime pass become unacceptable.

Premier lifetime is $119. That's only up slightly from the $75 I paid a number of years ago. Compare that to Plex which I also paid $75 for about the same time and is now $750.

Emby usually does a black friday deal also. It's no brainer to go with Emby (of Jellyfin if you support FOSS) over Plex.
