Blink Subscription Price: Plans, Monthly Cost & Price History

Blink is Amazon's line of budget home security cameras and video doorbells. The cameras work without a subscription for live view and motion alerts, but saving clips to the cloud and several smart features require a paid Blink Subscription Plan. Blink sells two plans, Basic and Plus, and each can be paid monthly or yearly.

The prices here come from Blink's own announcement of its subscription plan changes, published by Blink and checked on Oct 11, 2026. Blink has raised its prices before, so confirm the current rates on Blink's official site or in the Blink app before you subscribe.

Both plans add cloud video storage and features such as rapid video access and person detection on supported devices. The main difference is how many devices each plan covers.

Blink Basic

Basic costs $3.99/mo and covers a single device. It suits someone with one camera or one video doorbell who wants recorded clips without buying extra storage hardware.

Blink Plus

Plus costs $11.99/mo and covers all the Blink devices at one location. Blink has also included extra benefits with Plus, such as an extended warranty on covered devices and discounts on new Blink hardware; check the current plan details, since these perks can change. If you have two or more cameras at home, Plus is usually the plan to compare first.

Paying yearly costs less than paying month to month for twelve months.

Basic costs $39.99/yr and Plus costs $119.99/yr. Annual billing makes sense once you know your camera setup and plan to keep it. If you are still adding or removing cameras, monthly billing lets you switch between Basic and Plus more easily.

Blink raised both plan prices in October 2025.

Before the increase, Basic cost $3/mo and Plus cost $10/mo. They now cost $3.99/mo and $11.99/mo. If Blink changes prices again, existing subscribers may see the new rate at their next renewal, so check any price notice Blink sends.

You do not need a plan to use a Blink camera. Without one, you still get live view and motion alerts in the app, but you lose cloud recording and some smart features.

Many Blink cameras can save clips locally instead, using a Sync Module 2 with a USB flash drive. This means buying the Sync Module and a compatible drive up front, but there is no monthly fee for local storage. Local clips can take longer to view than cloud clips, and the feature set is narrower than with a plan. Check which of your devices support local storage before you skip the subscription.

• No plan: you only want live view and alerts, or you are fine with local storage through a Sync Module.
• Basic: you have one Blink camera or doorbell and want cloud recordings.
• Plus: you have several Blink devices at the same address.

If you have two devices, compare two Basic plans against one Plus plan in the Blink app. Plus covers every device at the location, so it gets more cost-effective as you add cameras.

Sales tax may be added to your subscription depending on your state. Your first Blink device may come with a free trial of a subscription plan; the length of any trial varies, so check the offer when you set up the camera.

The plan does not include professional monitoring. Blink cameras send alerts to your phone, and you decide how to respond. If you want a monitoring service that can contact emergency responders, that requires a separate security system.

Blink and Ring are both owned by Amazon, but their subscriptions are separate and not interchangeable. Ring plans include more add-on options, such as professional monitoring for Ring Alarm. Blink keeps its lineup to two plans and is aimed at lower-cost setups. Compare current prices on each brand's official page.
