There are numerous credit cards that offer complimentary priority pass membership as part of their benefit (Amex platinum, capital venture x rewards, chase sapphire reserve, citi prestige, etc.), but you can also pay for it out of pocket.  They have three membership plans which are standard, standard plus, and prestige that costs $99, $329, and $469 respectively on annual basis.  All priority pass memberships provide the same benefits, just different number of times you can visit the lounges annually.  Priority pass provides access to airport lounges all over the world and is a luxury membership that provides your travel experience more enjoyable.  You can get list of lounges here (https://www.prioritypass.com/airport-lounges). 

Standard ($99) – Access is $32 per person (including the member and any guests). 

Standard Plus ($299) — Members receive 10 free visits, after which they are charged $32 per person, per entry. Guest access is $32 per person. 

Prestige ($429) — Members receive unlimited free access to any Priority Pass lounge for the entire year. Guest access is $32 per person. 

Note: Any access fees are automatically charged to the credit card on file. 

I personally think having priority pass is worth it if you travel a lot and tend to get to airport early or have layovers.  Rather than paying for the membership out of pocket, it’s best to get a decent credit card that offers it like AMEX platinum.  Priority pass have easy to use mobile app and you don’t need to physically carry the card either, so that’s another plus.  You can access private rooms, shower facilities, complimentary food and drinks, and much more in some lounges.  Some airports also allows you to skip long check-in/security lines if you have priority pass.  However, if you travel business class or higher frequently or have elite airline status, you will get lounge access regardless and may not find it useful.
