Trying to watch some movies that I put on the Plex server, but I get the following:
Playback limit
You can use this app for free as a Plex remote control. You can also fling media to other Plex apps, including photos and videos on this device.
If you want to stream media to this iPhone, you can activate with a one-time in-app purchase. You can also sign in as a Plex Pass subscriber. Otherwise, playback is limited to one minute.
The message is telling you what you need to do, not sure what the confusion is.
You can also read this support article for (maybe) slightly more info.

Pretty much all other apps are free (Mac/Windows desktop app, the browser, smart TV apps, smart STB apps [Roku, Android TV, etc.,).

Yeah, not sure why, but the apps on the iOS and google play store (the mobile apps) have a one-time $5 fee to unlock their use. If you purchase this, then you can use the mobile app on any other device signed into the same account (iphone and ipad use appleID, Android phones typically use google Play accounts).
If you don’t know if you want to use this badly enough, you can use a web browser on your phone/ipad and browse to watch.plex.tv, login, and see your content there without any fee. They are desktop web pages though, so the UI is pretty bad for a small phone.
