I paid for a lifetime membership to Plex in 2012--$75. I stopped using it around 2015, mostly because I hated that I didn't have access to software running on my server, meant to serve my media, without an internet connection. I knew that meant worse was coming in the future.
I don't regret switching to Jellyfin.
You can access locally when the internet is down. You just need to set the login bypass for the local network. IMO it’s kinda a stupid step needed in setup but it is available.
