Ring plans, side by side
Every published tier in ascending order of price, with the number of features each one lists. An absence here means the record does not itemise it, not that the tier lacks it.
| Plan | Price | Features listed | Step up from the tier below |
|---|---|---|---|
| Basic | $4.99/month | 5 | Entry tier |
| Plus | $10/month | 4 | +$5.01/month, 4 more features |
| Pro | On request | 3 | Priced on request |
What each tier adds
The set difference between each tier's feature list and the one beneath it. Where a tier lists nothing new, the vendor has either stopped repeating the inherited list or the tier raises limits rather than adding capability, the record does not distinguish the two, so this page does not either.

People bring Ring in for video doorbell monitoring, security camera recording and event review, diy alarm system with optional professional monitoring, motion alerts and package-theft deterrence, remote live view while away from home. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to Ring are worth a look before you commit to a tier.
Before you pay for Ring
Three things this page cannot tell you, and all three change the bill. The record carries a price and a billing period but not the unit - per-seat and flat-rate pricing are indistinguishable in this data, so a five-person team may be looking at five times the figure above. It carries no annual rate, so any discount for paying yearly is not something this page can quote. And it carries no trial length.
What it can tell you is the shape of the ladder: 3 tiers between $4.99/month and On request, with the jump itemised above. With no free tier on record, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to compare Ring against the tools that do have one before committing.
Ring runs on ios, android, web, amazon alexa, and is published by Ring LLC (Amazon) of Santa Monica, California, USA. The full record is on the Ring review.
Ring pricing questions
- How much does Ring cost?
- Ring publishes 3 tiers, from $4.99/month for Basic up to On request for Pro. The cheapest paid tier is $4.99/month.
- Does Ring have a free plan?
- Not on the record we hold. Whether a free trial is offered is not something this record captures, so check the vendor's site.
- What is the difference between Basic and Plus on Ring?
- Plus costs $10/month against $4.99/month, and adds video recording for all ring devices, single address coverage, all basic features, advanced motion zones.
- Is the Pro plan on Ring worth it?
- That depends entirely on whether you need what it adds, which on the published record is 24/7 professional monitoring, cellular backup service, all plus features. It costs On request against $4.99/month for Basic. Softwr has not used either tier, so this page can tell you what changes, not whether it is worth the difference to you.
- What am I actually paying for with Ring?
- The record lists 12 features across 3 areas: core, integrations, platform. In practice it is brought in for video doorbell monitoring, security camera recording and event review, diy alarm system with optional professional monitoring.
- Does Ring charge per user?
- The record carries a price and a billing period for each of its 3 tiers, but not the unit that price is charged in. Per-seat and flat-rate billing look identical in this data, so check the vendor's page before budgeting for a team.
- Are these Ring prices current?
- They are what the catalogue entry holds, refreshed when the entry is. Vendors change pricing without notice and nobody at Softwr re-verifies each tier by hand, so treat this as a structured summary and the vendor's own pricing page as the authority.
- What should I compare Ring against before paying?
- Nothing else in this directory is filed close enough to Ring to make a useful price comparison.
