Starlink Monthly Cost by Plan
Residential plans are for a fixed home address. They are sold by speed tier, and the price rises with speed.
Plans
| Item | Price |
|---|---|
| Residential 100 Mbps | $55/mo |
| Residential 200 Mbps | $85/mo |
| Residential MAX | $130/mo |
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.
Starlink Roam Plans for RVs and Travel
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 plans
| Item | Price |
|---|---|
| Roam 100 GB | $55/mo |
| Roam 300 GB | $80/mo |
| Roam Unlimited | $175/mo |
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
Standby Mode keeps your Starlink account active at a low monthly rate when you are not using the service, for example between camping seasons.
Add-ons
| Item | Price |
|---|---|
| Standby Mode | $10/mo |
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.
Starlink Equipment and Installation Cost
Every Starlink plan needs a kit that includes the satellite dish, router, and cables. The kit is a one-time purchase.
Hardware
| Item | Price |
|---|---|
| Standard kit (purchase) | $349 |
| Starlink Mini kit (Roam only) | $149 |
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.
