Starlink internet pricing

How much does Starlink cost?

There are multiple Starlink plans designed for connecting from a fixed home or business, connecting while traveling, or connecting while in motion. The monthly price for home internet is $120 per month in high-demand areas and $90 per month in low-demand areas. The mobile plan costs $150–200 per month, with the higher price if you plan to roam globally. These costs are about average among satellite internet providers, but with Starlink you will have to pay between $600 and $2,500 up front for equipment. Priority plans, which are designed for businesses and high-demand users, start at $250 and go up from there based on how much data you need.

How Starlink stacks up on value

We gave Starlink a value score of two out of five stars, mostly due to the fact that it uses satellite internet technology, which means very unreliable speeds, massive slowdowns based on network congestion, and limits to how much high-speed data you can use during the day. The biggest benefit of Starlink, though, also comes from its technology. Unlike Viasat and HughesNet, it uses low earth orbit (LEO) satellites, and that means much better latency and speeds up to 100 Mbps in ideal conditions (unless you pay extra for a Priority plan).

What current Starlink customers are saying about price

Starlink customers say their internet service is expensive but reliable, considering they live in rural areas where other internet options are not widely available. It’s fast compared to anything else available and worth the money, they say, and they like the freedom from contracts.
