Blink is a more budget-friendly home security system, but is its monthly cost worth your dough? We think so, and here's why.
Blink is the younger, more-affordable cousin of Ring . Both brands fall under the Amazon umbrella, and both work well . Both brands have something else in common, too: to access the best features, you’ll need a subscription.
The highest tier is called Plus. It’s $10 per month for an unlimited number of devices and the best value by far. It includes everything the other plans have, with the addition of custom snooze notifications, a 10% discount off future Blink devices, extended warranty coverage, and the Blink Moments feature that stitches together multiple events into a seamless video.
Is $100 per year worth the cost? I paid next to nothing for my Blink devices. For full transparency, several devices were sent my way for review, but I have expanded the system with additional purchases. The kicker? I bought most of them during Prime Day or Black Friday sales. Blink has a tendency to drop its prices to an almost absurd degree. While I do have a few Ring products, I can usually get two or three Blink cameras for the price of a single Ring.
That’s another perk of the Plus tier: it allows you to snooze notifications for a set amount of time. When my lawn service comes to cut the grass, I tend to shut off notifications; otherwise, my phone will practically vibrate itself off the desk as the mower moves back and forth in its field of view.
