Starlink price drops and rises: when each plan got cheaper

The dated log, latest first

Every entry has a date and a source. “Starlink’s list” means we read Starlink’s US order data ourselves; “Press” means a named news site or dealer reported it.

   No-address price lists re-read: nothing moved

3. Oct 29–30, 2026Starlink’s list + press

   Residential prices start to depend on the address

   On Oct 29, 2026, Starlink’s national list carried several levels per plan: $44 or $49.50 for 100 Mbps, $68 or $76.50 for 200 Mbps and $104, $117, $143 or $156 for Max. RV Mobile Internet reported Starlink testing address-based Residential prices up to about 20% above or below the base price, with reviews about every three months. 5Gstore found Marysville, Kansas: $44 / $68 / $104 for Residential 100 / 200 / Max, and Kansas City, Missouri: $49.50 / $76.50 / $117; Rolla, Missouri: Max at $156. Kits changed too. 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.

   • 100 Mbps vs $55: $44 −20%$49.50 −10%
   • 200 Mbps vs $85: $68 −20%$76.50 −10%
   • Max vs $130: $104 −20%$117 −10%$143 +10%$156 +20%
   • Our arithmetic: each Oct 29 level against the Oct 21–25 price for the same plan.

   Mini kit price cut

   The Starlink Mini kit on starlink.com was $249, now $149 (Tesla North, citing a Starlink email, Oct 2, 2026). $149 is still the price on the US order list on Nov 4, 2026.

8. July 2026Press

   Monthly rental fee reported removed

   SatelliteInternet.com reported the monthly rental fee removed for new Residential orders in July 2026 (reported Jul 20, 2026). Starlink’s own rule today: a monthly rental fee, if any, shows at checkout.

9. Jul 14, 2026Press

   Starlink V5 kit launches

   The Starlink V5 kit launched in the US on July 14, 2026 (5Gstore).

10. June 2026Press

    Home orders move to rented kits, with a reported fee

    RV Mobile Internet reported on Jun 16, 2026: new Residential orders moved to rented kits, with a reported $10/mo rental fee.

11. May 2026Press

    Monthly prices rise

    Residential, Roam and Standby prices rose $5–$10 a month in May 2026 (existing customers from June 18), per 5Gstore (reported May 16, 2026).

Did Starlink get cheaper or more expensive in late 2026?

Both. Between the Oct 21–25 and Nov 4, 2026 national lists, the two cheapest home plans dropped and Max rose, so a budget household on 100 or 200 Mbps saw a lower list price, while Max subscribers saw a higher one. Roam stayed national. Your own address can still land above or below these levels:

• Residential 100 Mbps: $55 on Oct 21–25, $49.50 on Nov 4, 2026.
• Residential 200 Mbps: $85 on Oct 21–25, $76.50 on Nov 4, 2026.
• Residential Max: $130 on Oct 21–25, $143 on Nov 4, 2026.

But the national list is not your price. Some addresses saw lower levels and some higher: Notebookcheck’s range runs $44 to $156 a month. Starlink says its prices, availability and surcharges can move with network capacity and local demand. For the price at your address today, type it on starlink.com. For every level side by side, see the lowest monthly price page; for all six plans ranked, see the cheapest plan.

Will Starlink’s price drop again?

Nobody outside Starlink knows. What the record supports:

• The press says prices get reviewed. RV Mobile Internet reported that the new address-based prices are reviewed about every three months.
• Our arithmetic, not an announcement: three months after the Nov 30, 2026 billing date Notebookcheck reported is the end of February 2027. So the next review could land around late February 2027. Starlink hasn’t announced any date, and a review can move prices either way.
• No nationwide promotion either: on Nov 4, 2026 every promo end date on Starlink’s no-address price lists was blank, apart from the long-standing $0 adjustment on the V5 rental kit. And the “50% off … Offer ends November 28” banner in starlink.com’s holiday code is set to appear only in Japan and South Korea, and no half-price item sits on the US order lists.
