Ring Protect Plus (1st Gen) Plan Will Change Starting April 9, 2025

In September 2021, we sent you an email letting you know that your Ring Protect Plus (1st Gen) subscription would be moving to a new plan starting in 2025.

You’ll continue to have access to Ring Protect Plus (1st Gen) until your next subscription renewal after April 8, 2025, at which point you’ll be automatically migrated to a new Ring subscription plan. Ring reserves the right to change this offer, our subscription plans, or pricing for our services or any components at any time.

A note for Ring Alarm or Ring Alarm Pro owners

Starting on your first renewal after April 8, 2025, your subscription will be transitioned to the Premium Legacy plan, and your price will increase by $10 a month or $100 a year to $19.99 a month or $199.99 a year, plus applicable taxes.

If you'd like to renew at your plan's current price, you can remove 24/7 Professional Monitoring1 from your plan before your renewal. Here's how:

A note for subscribers who do not own a Ring Alarm device

Starting on your first renewal after April 8, 2025, your subscription will be transitioned to the Ring Multi plan, and will no longer include the 24/7 Professional Monitoring feature (including SOS Emergency Response). There is no price increase for your subscription change.

A note for Virtual Security Guard2 subscribers

Starting on your first renewal after January 14, 2026, your subscription will be transitioned to the Virtual Security Guard plan, and you are no longer required to have a separate Protect Plus (1st Gen) plan. The Virtual Security Guard plan includes all Protect Plus (1st Gen) features, as well as new AI features. There is no price increase for your subscription change.

Current features and more

Other than the changes mentioned above, you’ll still have access to the features you use in the Ring app, your account at ring.com, and with your Alexa Routines.
