Below, we’ll cover why Ring Protect plans are not free with Prime and which plan option is best for you and your Ring devices.

Which Ring Protect Plan Is Best?

There are technically three tiers—if you include no plan, with its limited capabilities as a tier—with Protect Basic and Protect Plus in the subscription category.

If you’re looking for a plan that will serve as a full-home security service with multiple Ring Devices and Cameras, the Ring Protect Plus plan is the best. It comes with professional monitoring and supports multiple devices for $10/month or $100/year.

The Ring Protect Basic plan is similar to the Plus plan; however, it is only for one device and doesn’t include professional monitoring, an extended warranty, or Plus plan discounts on Ring devices.

If you have several Ring devices, it makes more sense to go with the Ring Protect Plus plan. There’s no sense in sticking with the Basic and leaving several devices uncovered.

Final Thoughts

That’s a lot more than Netflix, or any similar service, can say. Ring Protect Plus, in the meantime, comes with 24/7 professional home monitoring, discounts, warranty, coverage over multiple devices, and everything else that the basic plan and no plan come with.

Both deals are considerably giving for monthly subscription costs that are lower than Netflix’s standard package. Ultimately, the Protect Plus plan is well worth it, especially if you have multiple cameras and Ring devices to cover. Of course, if you have a lone Ring device, such as the Ring Video Doorbell Pro 2, and have no plans to add new devices, then the Basic plan is more than sufficient and a drop in the bucket at $3 a month.
