Starlink pricing looks simple until you enter your address. Some plans show a national number. Residential prices hide until Starlink knows where you live. Hardware is a separate one-time charge. Taxes sit on top. And if you are a brand-new customer, ordering through a referral link does not change the sticker price, but it can put $100 back in your pocket after two months of service.

This guide breaks down Starlink pricing in 2027 for U.S. Residential and Roam plans, what the kit usually costs, what the trial covers, and how to stack the referral reward without paying more at checkout.

Starlink Pricing at a Glance (U.S., 2027)

Figures below come from Starlink’s service plans page and public Residential rates last published in late 2026. Always confirm the number shown after you enter your address.

Roam 100GB: $55/month
Roam 300GB: $80/month
Roam Unlimited: $175/month
Residential 100 Mbps: about $55/month where offered (address-based)
Residential 200 Mbps: about $85/month where offered (address-based)
Residential Max: about $130/month where offered (address-based)
Hardware: one-time kit purchase (varies by kit and promotions)
Trial: 30 days on Residential and Roam
Referral: new customers who order through a qualifying link can earn $100 after two billing cycles (same amount for the referrer)

Starlink changes promotions often. The checkout total on starlink.com is the source of truth.

Residential Plan Pricing

Residential is the fixed-address household plan with unlimited data. Starlink no longer publishes a single national Residential price on every screen. You enter your service address, then you see what is available and what it costs.

When Starlink last published U.S. Residential tiers in October 2026:

100 Mbps: around $55/month, only in select areas
200 Mbps: around $85/month, only in select areas
Max: around $130/month where offered

Not every address sees every tier. Capacity, local demand, and product availability all affect what Starlink shows you. If you only see one option, that is normal.

Best for: a home, home office, or rural shop that stays put and needs all-you-can-use data for video calls, streaming, and cloud uploads.

Roam Plan Pricing

Roam is the portable plan. Prices are clearer because Starlink lists them nationally:

100GB: $55/month
300GB: $80/month
Unlimited: $175/month

Roam works while you travel and while you are in motion (with the right kit and mounting). You can also pause service with Standby Mode when you do not need the connection, which matters for RVs, seasonal sites, and contractors who only need internet on certain jobs.

Best for: travel, job sites, markets, festivals, and a portable backup dish you can move.

For a deeper plan comparison, see our Residential vs Roam guide.

Hardware Cost: The Kit Is Separate

Your first bill is not just the monthly plan. You also buy a Starlink kit (dish, router, cables, and mounts depending on the package). Hardware pricing moves with kits (Standard, Mini, and others) and with new-customer promotions.

What to expect:

One-time hardware charge at checkout, before tax
Month one of service billed with or right after activation, depending on your order flow
Shipping and tax on top of list prices

Retail stores sometimes sell kits cheaper. That can look like a win until you remember store kits do not earn the Starlink referral reward. Compare the store total against starlink.com pricing minus the eventual $100 if you qualify. Full rules live in our Starlink referral program guide.

Taxes, Fees, and the Real First Month

Starlink’s plan pages show prices before tax. Your invoice adds sales tax (and any local charges) based on your address. There is no “referral fee” and no higher plan price for using a referral link. You pay the same rates as anyone else.

A simple way to estimate month one:

Kit price + shipping
First month of the plan you choose
Tax on both

That is your out-of-pocket before any reward. The $100 referral (if you qualify) is not a checkout discount. It lands after you stay subscribed for two full monthly billing cycles.

The 30-Day Trial

Residential and Roam include a 30-day trial. If Starlink is not a fit, you can return the kit under Starlink’s trial terms and stop service. That is useful for rural addresses where you need to test sky view, speeds, and reliability before you commit long term.

One catch for referrals: canceling, pausing to Standby Mode only, or returning the kit before two full billing cycles means the referral does not pay for either side. Use the trial to decide if the service works. Do not treat the $100 as instant cash.

How the $100 Referral Changes the Math

Ordering through a referral link does not lower the price on the order form. What it does:

You (the new customer) can receive $100 as service credit or cash after two months
The person who shared the link receives $100 too
Eligible plans are Residential and Roam on a personal account
Business, Priority, and company-named sign-ups do not earn the reward

On a $55 plan, $100 is almost two months of service. On an $85 plan, it is a little more than one month. Either way, it is the cleanest legal discount path Starlink offers new residential-style customers right now.

Business Plan Pricing (Quick Note)

Starlink also sells Business plans that start around $55/month and add priority data, a public IP, stronger support, and an SLA. Those plans are the right fit for some storefronts and offices. They are not on the referral-eligible list. If you need Business features, buy what the operation needs and do not count on the $100.

Quick FAQ

How much is Starlink per month in 2027?
Roam starts at $55 for 100GB. Residential is address-based and was recently about $55, $85, and $130 for 100 Mbps, 200 Mbps, and Max where offered.

Is hardware included?
No. The kit is a separate one-time purchase.

Does a referral link make Starlink cheaper at checkout?
No. Prices are the same. The $100 arrives after two months if you qualify.

Can I pause billing to save money?
Roam supports Standby Mode when you do not need service. Pausing early can cancel a pending referral reward, so finish the two-month window first if you used a referral link.

Where do I see my exact price?
