Which Starlink plan is cheapest for a US home, and for travel?
On Starlink’s no-address US price list for Nov 4, 2026, the cheapest home plan was Residential 100 Mbps at $49.50 a month, offered only in some areas; where it isn’t, 200 Mbps at $76.50 is next and Max at $143 is sold everywhere. The cheapest travel plan was Roam 100GB at $55 a month, the same in every state.
Starlink sells three home plans and three travel plans in the US. Home prices come in address-based levels, so each one appears with the date it sat on Starlink’s no-address price list (read with no address typed). Roam costs the same everywhere. Speeds are Starlink’s expectations, not a promise.
| Plan | Monthly price levels (dated) | Expected speed | Priority | Install or kit | Data |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Residential 100 Mbps Some areas only | $49.50 (Nov 4 list) · Oct 29 list: $44 or $49.50 · Oct 21–25 list: $55 | 80–100 Mbps down and 15–35 Mbps up | Below Max at busy times | Not on Starlink’s free-install list | Unlimited |
| Residential 200 Mbps Some areas only | $76.50 (Nov 4 list) · Oct 29 list: $68 or $76.50 · Oct 21–25 list: $85 | 80–200 Mbps down and 15–35 Mbps up | Below Max at busy times | Free professional install listed | Unlimited |
| Residential Max Offered everywhere | $143 (Nov 4 list) · Oct 29 list: $104, $117, $143 or $156 · Oct 21–25 list: $130 | 400+ Mbps down at best and 20–40 Mbps up | Highest Residential priority | Free professional install listed | Unlimited |
| Roam 100GB About 1 week of typical use | $55 nationwide on Nov 4, 2026 | Up to 300+ Mbps (Starlink’s plan card) | Travel plan | You set it up: Mini $149 or Standard $349 | 100 GB, then about 500 Kbps |
| Roam 300GB Several trips a month | $80 nationwide on Nov 4, 2026 | Up to 300+ Mbps (Starlink’s plan card) | Travel plan | You set it up: Mini $149 or Standard $349 | 300 GB, then low speed |
| Roam Unlimited Includes travel abroad | $175 nationwide on Nov 4, 2026 | Up to 300+ Mbps (Starlink’s plan card) | Travel plan | You set it up: Mini $149 or Standard $349 | Unlimited high-speed |
Two things the table can’t show. First, on a crowded network, the two cheaper home tiers slow down before Residential Max does; Max, in Starlink’s words, has “Highest Residential Priority”. Second, the offer at your address decides whether a home kit is rented or sold to you: each Residential entry on the national list was a rental on Oct 21, 25, 30 and Nov 3–4, 2026, while 8 of 11 had purchase tags on Oct 29. The cheapest kit route covers that side.
What does each Starlink plan cost per month?
The same six plans as rungs, cheapest first. The dot marks the Nov 4, 2026 national list; the bar covers every level that list has carried since Oct 21.

Which plan is cheapest for your situation?
“Cheapest” only counts if the plan does the job. These are our picks for common US households, using the Nov 4, 2026 list. Run your own numbers in the cheapest-path calculator.
Light home use
$49.50 /mo · Nov 4 listEmail, browsing, school work, one stream at a time. Residential 100 Mbps where offered (80–100 Mbps down and 15–35 Mbps up). Not offered at your address? 200 Mbps next, then Max.
Streaming family
$76.50 /mo · Nov 4 listOne or two streams at once fit Residential 100 Mbps. When the whole house streams in the evening, 200 Mbps gives more room: 80–200 Mbps down and 15–35 Mbps up (our rule of thumb).
Work calls and gaming
$76.50 /mo · Nov 4 listResidential 200 Mbps for headroom. Upload is the same 15–35 Mbps as 100 Mbps, and both sit below Max at busy times. If evenings are slow where you live, Max is the step up, at a price.
Weekend camper
$55 /mo · nationwideRoam 100GB, which Starlink calls “approximately 1 week of typical use”. After 100 GB you drop to about 500 Kbps. Pair it with the $149 Mini kit.
Full-time RVer
$175 /mo · nationwideRoam Unlimited if you live and work on the road, say wintering in Arizona. Roam 300GB at $80 a month can do it if you mostly browse and stream a little.
Home plus travel: is Residential Max with the extras cheaper?
Per Starlink’s Special Offers, a Residential Max household can add a rented Mini with no monthly charge and pay half price on eligible Roam plans (subject to change, not offered everywhere, one per customer). And on Residential 100 or 200 Mbps, at addresses where Starlink runs the offer at all, the Roam discount is 20%. So a household that wants a home plan and a travel plan has four ways to pay. Here is our math with the Nov 4, 2026 national-list prices and Roam 100GB.
| Household setup | Home | Roam 100GB | Per month | Travel kit | Year one |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Residential 100 Mbps + Roam 100GB, bought separately where 100 Mbps is offered | $49.50 | $55 | $104.50 | Mini kit bought, $149 | $1,403 |
| Residential 100 Mbps + Roam 100GB at 20% off where that offer exists | $49.50 | $44 | $93.50 | Mini kit bought, $149 | $1,271 |
| Residential Max + Roam 100GB at 50% off Max extras | $143 | $27.50 | $170.50 | Rented Mini, no monthly charge | $2,046 |
| Residential Max + Roam 100GB, no extras buying separately | $143 | $55 | $198 | Mini kit bought, $149 | $2,525 |
What our math says. Where Residential 100 Mbps is offered, it beats Max with the extras: $104.50 a month with full-price Roam against $170.50, or $643 less in year one even after buying the Mini. Where Max is the only home plan you can get, the extras are the cheap path: $170.50 a month against $198, and no $149 Mini to buy, so $479 less in year one.
Full-time travelers on Roam Unlimited see a closer race: $224.50 a month for 100 Mbps plus Unlimited, $189.50 with the 20% offer where it exists, and $230.50 for Max plus Unlimited at half price, if Roam Unlimited counts as “eligible” at your address (our math).
Read the Max offer’s fine print
- Starlink’s offer document bars stacking the Max extras with other offers, and it doesn’t say whether a referral counts as one.
- On Max: drop the home plan or move it to Standby and the Mini has to go back, or Starlink bills its retail price.
- The extras are subject to change, not offered everywhere, one per customer. Check them at checkout before you count on them.
When is the cheapest Starlink plan the wrong buy?
When it can’t carry your evenings. On the Nov 4, 2026 list, Residential 100 Mbps cost $93.50 a month less than Max (our math), but it tops out at 100 Mbps and, like 200 Mbps, loses speed first when a cell is busy. A household on video calls all day in a crowded area can find Max’s top priority worth the difference.
On the travel side, Roam 100GB is cheap until you run out. After 100 GB in a billing cycle you get about 500 Kbps, enough for messages and email but not for streaming. If you camp most weekends, Roam 300GB at $80 a month can be the better buy than running out and living with slow data. For how prices moved to get here, see the price history.
The limits, before you order
- Your price is your address’s. Starlink.com won’t show plans or prices until you type an address. The levels on this page come from the national list, read with no address.
- Some areas only. The 100 and 200 Mbps plans don’t reach every address. Max does.
- Lower priority at busy times. When a cell is crowded, the two cheaper home plans lose speed first.
- A possible demand surcharge. Starlink’s invoice glossary puts the ceiling on that surcharge near $1,500 per home service line. It’s charged once, and the address and plan decide whether it applies.
- A rental fee, if any. Any monthly rental fee appears at checkout and is billed each month alongside the plan.
- Prices move. Starlink says its prices, availability and surcharges can move with network capacity and local demand. No promotional prices were on the US national lists on Nov 4, 2026.
Skip the order for now if…
- a cable or fiber line reaches your home and does what you need for less: compare that bill first
- your address only shows Residential Max and you only need light internet: that is not the cheap path, and Starlink’s prices change with demand (not a promise they will drop)
- you need one trip or one month of service: the referral terms are written for customers who stay
- you have, or once had, a Starlink account: the credit is for first-time customers only
- the kit will come from a store: a store purchase can’t earn the credit, then or later

Residential 100 and 200 Mbps reach only some areas, while Residential Max is sold wherever Residential is. Which plans an address can order only appears once you type it on starlink.com.
Is Residential Max worth it over 100 Mbps?
Max ranks first for priority, is listed at up to 400+ Mbps, includes pro installation, and lets a traveling household add a rented Mini with no monthly charge plus half-price eligible Roam plans. On the Nov 4, 2026 list it cost $93.50 a month more than 100 Mbps (our math). For light use, 100 Mbps is the cheaper buy.

Is installation free on the cheapest Starlink plan?
No. Starlink’s home page offers professional installation at no charge on the 200 Mbps and Max home plans, and 100 Mbps isn’t on that list. On a rented kit, the $99 and $199 activations bundle professional installation; the $0 one leaves setup to you.
