Sonos 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Roam 2 Speaker | $179/one-time | - | Entry tier |
| Era 100 SL Speaker | $189/one-time | - | +$10/one-time |
| Sonos Play Speaker | $299/one-time | - | +$110/one-time |
| Move 2 Speaker | $489.99/one-time | - | +$190.99/one-time |
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 Sonos in for multi-room audio, home theater, music streaming, whole-home audio. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to Sonos are worth a look before you commit to a tier.
Before you pay for Sonos
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: 4 tiers between $179/one-time and $489.99/one-time, with the jump not itemised on the record. With no free tier on record, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to compare Sonos against the tools that do have one before committing.
Sonos runs on web, ios, android, wifi-based, bluetooth, and is published by Sonos Inc. of Santa Barbara, California, USA. The full record is on the Sonos review.
Sonos pricing questions
- How much does Sonos cost?
- Sonos publishes 4 tiers, from $179/one-time for Roam 2 Speaker up to $489.99/one-time for Move 2 Speaker. The cheapest paid tier is $179/one-time.
- Does Sonos 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.
- Is the Move 2 Speaker plan on Sonos worth it?
- That depends entirely on whether you need what it adds, which on the published record is not itemised separately from the tier below it. It costs $489.99/one-time against $179/one-time for Roam 2 Speaker. 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 Sonos?
- The record lists 12 features across 3 areas: core, integrations, platform. In practice it is brought in for multi-room audio, home theater, music streaming.
- Does Sonos charge per user?
- The record carries a price and a billing period for each of its 4 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 Sonos 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 Sonos against before paying?
- Nothing else in this directory is filed close enough to Sonos to make a useful price comparison.
