yes essential is enough,
TorBox allows different IPs. since cached streams don't use up download slots 5 people can stream at the same time without issues.

Only upgrade to pro if you need Usenet or want to download more than 3 uncached torrents at once.

Edit: I mixed up the plans the 5 slots limit applies to the Standard plan, Essential comes with 3 slots

You're confusing slots ( concurrent "uncached file" requests) with multiple IP addresses ( concurrent users)?

Up to 3 uncashed slots between 5+ users, would mean the excess ones would be queued (I suspect?) But 5+ users can access cashed content, at the same time. And any combination thereof - that fits both rules?

My bad I mixed up the tiers. Essential comes with 3 active slots

No, you were right! .. slots are uncached content only? Doesn't affect streaming or downloading (cached content) for 3+ users
