Price increase for Ring subscription? Anyone switching?

Sugar_Rush

It started at 2.50, then went up to 3.50, now going up to 5 euro a month?

I literally just bought a doorbell cam.

Curious if I can return it and get something else based on this?

Contacted Ring:

We understand the importance of knowing what to expect so you can ensure the best experience with your Ring of Security. The Ring Protect Basic Plan price increase only pertains to neighbors paying for their subscription in USD ($) or GBP (£). For the price increase, you are correct that purchasing a year subscription before the price updates does warrant you the current pricing until your next renewal. Let us know if we can help with anything else.

So everyone getting stiffed except us basically.

I doubt it because the storage contract is optional and purchased separately to the doorbell.

Saying that there is no harm in trying.

I see, on another forum, people in the UK are suggesting cancelling their contracts and starting new 12 month ones, at the existing rate, before price rise kicks in at the beginning of March.

Mine renewed last week so I did not try this.

Renew for 12 months?

Gloomtastic!

We never subscribed after the initial month trial and we've survived. I suspect others will too. Mr Bezos doesn't need the money!

How do you view your video recordings with no subscription?

Yes, If you want the old price. IMHO it is not worth having the camera doorbell if you do not view the videos. There again Each to his own.

I'm thinking of switching to Eufy door cam, but no hurry, even 60 euro is not overly expensive IMO but its if it keeps rising is the ??

That was a storm in a tea cup and long since fixed.
