The monthly subscription plan to use Ring is called the Ring Protect Plan, which ranges from $3.99 a month for one camera and basic features up to $20 a month for all Ring devices in your home, plus professional monitoring. 

You can skip the monthly subscription but will be limited to getting instant alerts, access to live streams, and two-way talk, all with no video recording to look back on. 

Here's how the different Ring Protect Plans stack up:

Blink works similarly to Ring regarding subscriptions, except they give you a local storage option to skip the monthly fee. 

The Blink Subscription plan costs $3 a month per device or $10 a month for unlimited Blink devices. Or you can buy the Sync Module 2 and use a USB flash drive to save your clips to it and avoid paying for a subscription.
