Starlink offers six plans across two tiers: Personal (Residential, Roam, Boats) and Business (Fixed Site, Mobility, Maritime). The right one depends on whether you stay in one place, travel on land, or go out on water — and whether it's for a home or a company. This guide explains each plan, what it costs, and who it's built for.
Quick comparison: all six Starlink plans
| Plan | Tier | Built for | Moves? | Monthly (from) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Residential | Personal | Home internet at one address | Stationary | $30–$130 |
| Roam | Personal | Travel, RVs, vans, camping | Land, portable | ~$50 |
| Boats | Personal | Personal watercraft, coastal | On water | ~$150+ |
| Fixed Site | Business | Offices, remote work sites | Stationary | $120+ |
| Mobility | Business | Fleets, vehicles in motion | Land/air | $250+ |
| Maritime | Business | Commercial vessels, offshore | On water | $1,000+ |
Personal plans
Residential — home internet
Residential is Starlink's core home-internet plan, tied to a single service address. It's the cheapest way to get Starlink and is optimized for stationary use, with the highest network priority for everyday home traffic.
In the US, Residential is tiered by speed: $55/mo (100 Mbps), $85/mo (200 Mbps), and $130/mo (400+ Mbps). All tiers include unlimited standard data. See Residential prices by country →
Choose Residential if: you want internet at a fixed home or property and want the lowest price.
Roam — internet that travels
Roam (formerly "RV") works wherever you go on land within your region, and can be paused and resumed month to month — ideal if you only travel seasonally. Compatible hardware supports use in motion.
The trade-off: Roam costs more than Residential and its data is deprioritized behind Residential customers during congestion. Compare Roam vs Residential in detail →
Choose Roam if: you live or travel in an RV, van, or have multiple locations.
Boats — personal use on water
Boats brings Starlink to personal watercraft with coastal and inland-water coverage at a price well below commercial Maritime. It's built for recreational boaters, not commercial fleets. See Boats pricing →
Choose Boats if: you want connectivity on a personal boat without paying enterprise Maritime rates.
Business plans
Fixed Site — business-grade at one location
Fixed Site is the business version of Residential: a stationary plan with higher priority data and performance suited to offices, retail, agriculture, and remote work sites. See Fixed Site pricing →
Choose Fixed Site if: your business needs reliable connectivity at a permanent location.
Mobility — connectivity in motion
Mobility is built for vehicles, fleets, emergency response, and other land or aerial use that needs internet while moving, with priority data tiers. See Mobility pricing →
Choose Mobility if: you run vehicles or equipment that need internet on the move.
Maritime — commercial vessels
Maritime is the enterprise marine plan: global ocean coverage, high-performance hardware, and the highest data tiers — priced accordingly, starting around $1,000/mo and climbing with data. See Maritime pricing →
Choose Maritime if: you operate a commercial vessel or need offshore coverage.
How to choose the right Starlink plan
Answer three questions:
- Will it move? No → Residential or Fixed Site. Yes on land → Roam or Mobility. Yes on water → Boats or Maritime.
- Personal or business? Personal tiers are cheaper; Business tiers add priority data and performance hardware.
- How much priority data do you need? Heavy or mission-critical use favors Business tiers.
Once you've narrowed it down, compare live prices for that plan across every country — the same plan can cost very differently depending on where you buy it, which we explain in why Starlink prices vary by country.
