The Ring Protect Basic plan, which currently costs $4 per month or $40 per year, is headed to $5 per month or $50 per year. Those enrolled in either monthly or annual billing will pay this price on their first renewal on and after June 14, 2025. Renewals will remain on the same day of the month or year.
