Huge Price Hike Alert: Ring Security Prices Surge to Enormous Heights, Enrages Customers Across the Globe
Unlike previous rounds of price hikes, subscribers aren’t getting any new features in return. Ring increased prices just last year, when Basic subscription costs rose from £2.49/$2.99 to £3.49/ $3.99 per month – or £24.99$29.99 to £34.99/$39.99 a year. This time, customers will be charged £4.99/ $4.99 a month or £49.99/ $49.99 a year for a Basic Ring subscription, an increase of £1.50/ $1 per month or £15/$10 a year, starting from 11th March, 2024.
Customers were quick to term the price hike as unacceptable. They took to social media platforms with complaints, stating that the subscriptions have become unreasonably expensive, especially when there are no new offerings or features included in the package.
Customers that cancel their Ring Protect subscription will no longer be able to save, review, and share video recordings from their Ring devices to their Ring account. All recorded videos will be permanently deleted from the Ring cloud. To save any videos, you must download them before cancelling your Ring Protect plan.
Customers have had to swallow price hike after price hike on their favorite subscriptions in recent years – such as Netflix and Disney+. Now many are looking for home security alternatives to Ring.
There are a handful of good alternatives to Ring that share similar features – but they’re not always cheaper.
