Eh, lifetime Plex Pass pays itself for three years even at normal pricing. I got mine during a discount so mine pays itself off in about 2 years and 3 months, which would have been in November 2022. I don't also remember seeing any streaming services in my Plex instance.

I'm definitely happier having my lifetime Plex Pass over a monthly subscription.

Is there a killer feature that's unique to Plex? Or is it just pleasantly integrated?

The killer feature is the Plex app is already available on pretty much any device you can think of and at least from the user side, setting it up is as easy as just signing in and it's all ready to go.

I'm not sure if there's any one killer feature for Plex, but as far as I see, it has plenty of advantages over other solutions. Good and plentiful client apps, webhook support, Plexamp, intro skipping, etc.
