Are expensive vibration plates worth it over budget models?

It depends on use. Premium multi-motor plates like the Lifepro Rumblex offer more intensity range and modes, which heavier or more active users in specialist communities appreciate. But several reviewers note budget plates around $65–$90 deliver the same core circulation and recovery benefits, and verified-purchase reviewers on those models are broadly satisfied. The premium step-up is mostly about intensity, capacity, and durability.
