Starlink Mini

Starlink Mini is the compact kit: 2.4 lb, built-in router, DC power, sized for a backpack. In the US catalogue it is sold against Roam, the monthly plan that is allowed to move. It is not a smaller Standard on a Residential plan — those are different products.

Mini is the travel radio. Standard 4 X is the home dish: larger, heavier, hungrier (75–100W vs 25–40W), with a separate Wi-Fi 6 router. If the kit will sit on a roof and serve a house, Standard plus Residential is the stack. If the kit will move, Mini plus Roam.

US list on 30 Aug 2026: Mini kit $199 to buy, then a Roam monthly (100GB $55, 300GB $80, Unlimited $175). Standard 4 X is $349 to buy, or $0 as a Residential rental you return if you cancel. Residential Max is $130/mo. Your address can differ. The chooser above adds hardware and monthly into one number.

The dish and a built-in router. Official spec card: 298.5 × 259 × 38.5 mm, 1.10 kg, 25–40W average, IP67, snow melt, DC power. No separate home router in the box.

No. Mini and Standard are kits. Residential and Roam are monthly plans. The search “Mini vs Standard vs Roam” mixes a dish with a bill. This page keeps them on separate rows so the all-in cost is honest.

Only if you accept Roam's data rules and lower network priority versus Residential. A house that streams all day usually wants Residential on Standard. A van, cabin, or week-long trip wants Mini on Roam. Using both means two kits or a Max add-on — confirm that add-on at checkout, it is address-level.
