Starlink Price: Plans, Monthly Cost & Fees

Starlink is SpaceX's satellite internet service. It reaches places where cable and fiber do not, including rural homes, RVs, and boats. The total cost has two parts: a monthly service plan and the hardware kit, which you pay for once up front.

The figures on this page come from SatelliteInternet.com, an independent review site, not from Starlink itself. They were checked on Oct 11, 2026. Starlink changes its plans, prices, and hardware promotions often, and pricing can vary by address, so confirm the current offer on Starlink's official website before you order.

Residential plans are for a fixed home address. They are sold by speed tier, and the price rises with speed.

Residential 100 Mbps

The entry plan costs $55/mo. It suits households that browse, stream, and video-call but do not need the highest speeds. The tier name refers to an advertised speed level; your actual speeds may vary with location, weather, and network demand.

Residential 200 Mbps

This tier costs $85/mo. It fits larger households with several people streaming or working from home at the same time.

Residential MAX

MAX costs $130/mo and is Starlink's top residential tier. It is aimed at heavy users who want the fastest speeds Starlink sells for homes.

Roam plans are for people who move around, such as RV owners, campers, and frequent travelers. They are sold by monthly data allowance instead of speed.

Roam 100 GB costs $55/mo, Roam 300 GB $80/mo, and Roam Unlimited $175/mo. If you only travel part of the year, a smaller allowance may cover your trips. Full-time RVers who stream and work online may need the unlimited plan.

Standby Mode keeps your Starlink account active at a low monthly rate when you are not using the service, for example between camping seasons.

At $10/mo, Standby Mode lets you pause without canceling. Starlink describes it as providing limited connectivity for basic needs. Check the current terms, since what Standby includes may change.

Every Starlink plan needs a kit that includes the satellite dish, router, and cables. The kit is a one-time purchase.

The Standard kit costs $349. The Starlink Mini kit costs $149 and is listed as a Roam-only option. Starlink often runs hardware promotions, such as discounted or free kits in some areas or with a service commitment, so the price you pay may be lower than the list price.

Installation

Starlink is designed for self-installation. You mount the dish with a clear view of the sky, plug it in, and set it up with the Starlink app, so most people pay nothing for installation. If you need roof or pole mounting, cable routing through walls, or a hard-to-reach location, a local installer or handyman may charge for the work. Mounting accessories are sold separately.

Starlink raised its Residential prices in May 2026.

Before the increase, the 100 Mbps plan cost $50/mo, the 200 Mbps plan $80/mo, and MAX $120/mo. They now cost $55/mo, $85/mo, and $130/mo. Starlink has adjusted prices before, and prices may differ by region depending on network capacity, so check your own address on Starlink's site.

• Taxes and fees. Sales tax and regulatory fees may be added to your monthly bill depending on your state.
• Shipping. Starlink may charge shipping on the kit.
• Area-based charges. In some busy areas, Starlink may charge an extra one-time fee or limit new signups because of network capacity.
• Accessories. Mounts, longer cables, and mesh Wi-Fi units cost extra.
