Ring Subscription Price: Plans, Monthly Cost & Price History
Monthly plan price
$4.99 – $19.99/mo
Ring Protect plans cost $4.99/mo to $19.99/mo, from Ring Solo to Ring Pro, according to Ring.
Ring sells video doorbells, security cameras, and the Ring Alarm system. The devices work without a subscription for live view and alerts, but saving and reviewing recorded video requires a Ring Protect plan. Ring currently offers three plans, called Solo, Multi, and Pro, plus a set of optional add-ons.
All figures on this page come from Ring's official Protect plans page, published by Ring and checked on Oct 11, 2026. Ring has renamed and repriced its plans before, so confirm the current rates on Ring's site or in the Ring app before you subscribe.
Ring Subscription Cost per Month
The three plans differ mainly in how many devices they cover and whether professional monitoring is included.
Plans
| Item | Price |
|---|---|
| Ring Solo | $4.99/mo |
| Ring Multi | $9.99/mo |
| Ring Pro | $19.99/mo |

Ring Solo
Solo costs $4.99/mo and covers one Ring doorbell or camera. You get video recording, the ability to review and share saved clips, and smart alerts. It suits a home with a single video doorbell.
Ring Multi
Multi costs $9.99/mo and covers all Ring doorbells and cameras at one address. For most homes with two or more Ring devices, Multi is the plan to start with, since adding cameras does not raise the monthly price.
Ring Pro
Pro costs $19.99/mo. It includes what Multi covers and adds features aimed at Ring Alarm owners, most notably professional monitoring, where a monitoring center can contact emergency services when an alarm goes off. If you have a Ring Alarm system and want it monitored, Pro is the relevant plan. Without Ring Alarm, the extra cost buys you little.
Ring Annual Subscription Cost
Every Ring Protect plan can be paid yearly, which costs less than twelve monthly payments.
Annual plans
| Item | Price |
|---|---|
| Ring Solo (annual) | $49.99/yr |
| Ring Multi (annual) | $99.99/yr |
| Ring Pro (annual) | $199.99/yr |
Source: Ring: Protect plans
Solo costs $49.99/yr, Multi $99.99/yr, and Pro $199.99/yr. Choose annual billing once your setup is settled. If you might add cameras soon, monthly billing makes it simpler to move from Solo to Multi.
Ring Add-Ons and Extra Fees
Ring sells several add-ons on top of a Protect plan. Each one has its own monthly charge, and some are priced per camera, so the total can climb quickly on a larger setup.
Add-ons
| Item | Price |
|---|---|
| Virtual Security Guard | $99/mo |
| Pro Intelligence (per camera) | $5/mo |
| Smoke & CO Pro Monitoring | $5/mo |
| 24/7 Continuous Recording (per camera) | $3/mo |

- Virtual Security Guard costs $99/mo. Live agents review alerts from your outdoor cameras during the hours you set and can respond through the camera or contact authorities. Check Ring's page for current coverage details.
- Pro Intelligence costs $5/mo per camera and adds more advanced AI-based alerts and search features.
- Smoke & CO Pro Monitoring costs $5/mo and sends smoke and carbon monoxide alarms to professional monitoring. It works with compatible listeners or detectors.
- 24/7 Continuous Recording costs $3/mo per camera. Instead of recording only when motion is detected, supported wired cameras record all the time.
Check device compatibility before you add any of these. Not every Ring camera supports continuous recording or every AI feature, and some add-ons may require a specific plan.
Which Ring Plan Is Right for You
- No plan: you only want live view and alerts, with no saved video.
- Solo: you have one Ring doorbell or camera.
- Multi: you have several Ring devices at the same address.
- Pro: you own Ring Alarm and want professional monitoring.
If you have two devices, compare two Solo plans against one Multi plan in the Ring app. Multi covers every device at the location, so it gets more cost-effective as you add cameras.
Taxes and Regional Differences
Sales tax may be added depending on your state. Ring Alarm professional monitoring is not available in every area, and the features included with each plan may differ by region. If you rent, check whether your landlord or building already provides a monitored system, so you do not pay for one twice.
Ring vs. Blink Subscriptions
Amazon owns both Ring and Blink, but their subscriptions are separate. Blink offers a simpler two-plan lineup for its budget cameras. Ring has more plans and add-ons, and it ties into the Ring Alarm security system. Compare current prices on each brand's official page.
