Plex has two pieces. One piece is the server. You would install a program called Plex Media Server on your computer. Then you tell Plex the location of all your movies and media you own. It scans everything and organizes it.
Then you go to your smart tv devices (fire tv, android box, roku, etc) You can install the Plex CLIENT on these and watch the movies from your Plex your server.
Plex is free if that is how you use it.
The Plex PASS is just some additional features for Plex. It lets you watch movies on your phone/mobile devices. You can download movies from your server. It allows "hardware transcoding". Skip intro/skip credits, etc.
Plex lost their way long ago. I want (and bought) to play local media, not have them push their stream crap on me.
Long time Emby user. Love it. UI isn't as polished as Plex but it's worth the effort to use because of my hate for plex streaming.
Also JellyFin.

Jellyfin is a fork of Emby, not Plex. It's hard to take your opinion seriously when you are so confidently incorrect. Jellyfin is great if you don't need apps but Plex is still king because they have an app for basically everything.
1. Those who have a platform for which there's a Jellyfin app, obviously
2. Those using a computer (Mac, PC, Linux) due to easy app availability
3. Those using a web browser, due to easy playback
4. Those who absolutely won't pay for transcode capability, which Jellyfin has
I think Plex does a better job on the edge cases - they cover everything under the sun, in just about all scenarios. It depends on what you want. While I do see lots of whining around the addition of for-pay audio (Tidal integration), videogames (dropped 2 years ago), and ad-supported movies (easily omitted with a mouseclick or two) there's nothing here that would stop me from strongly recommending it for someone who wants something more than Jellyfin.
In other words, it's not crazy to try out Jellyfin first. It might be enough. It will certainly do more than a USB stick and a router.
