Does Amazon charge for Ring?

Yes, Amazon charges for Ring products and services. Ring is a brand of home security products, including video doorbells, security cameras, and alarm systems, that was acquired by Amazon in 2018. While the Ring app and basic features are free to use, they offer optional subscription plans that provide additional features and benefits.

The Ring Protect subscription plans include features like cloud storage for video recordings, extended warranty, professional monitoring for the alarm system, and more. These plans have different pricing tiers depending on the number of devices and the desired level of service. The subscription fees are charged on a monthly or annual basis, and the cost varies depending on the plan you choose.

It's important to note that while some features and services require a subscription, you can still use many of the basic functionalities of Ring devices without a subscription.
