$249 is Starlink's current price for the Mini portable satellite dish, down from its $499 launch price in June 2024; new customers can get it for $199 with activation.
The 1.1-kg terminal targets off-grid use rather than home broadband, with a built-in Wi-Fi 5 router, IP67 protection, 25-40W power draw and advertised download speeds of 200-300+ Mbps.
Service terms shape that positioning: the Mini works with Roam plans priced at $55 for 100GB, $80 for 300GB and $175 for unlimited, plus Local and Global Priority plans in most countries.
It still does not support standard Residential plans in most regions, though Starlink is also offering a free Mini rental with a Standard kit on the Residential MAX plan.
