These plans are *optional* — you can use a Ring doorbell **without one** — but they unlock video recording, cloud storage, and extra features you won't get with the free tier. ([Ring][1])
### **Ring Home Basic**
* **Price:** ~$4.99/month or **$49.99/year**
* **Best for:** 1 Ring doorbell or camera
* **Includes:**

✔️ **Live View** (see video live anytime)
✔️ **Real-time motion alerts & notifications**
✔️ **Two-way talk** through the app
✔️ **Doorbell ringing alerts**
But ⛔ **no video storage** — you *cannot* save or replay video clips without a subscription. ([TechRadar][4])
