Starlink Business runs on two plans: Local Priority and Global Priority. In the US, Local Priority starts at $55 a month for 50 GB of priority data and goes up to $530 for 2 TB. Global Priority, for boats and worldwide use, runs from $250 to $2,150 a month. Starlink lists Business hardware from $349. Every plan includes network priority, a public IP address, a 99.9% uptime service-level agreement and 24/7 priority support. Once the priority data runs out, the connection keeps working but slows to 1 Mbps (Starlink Business plans, checked September 25, 2026).
Prices here are Starlink’s US list prices on September 25, 2026. Local Priority prices vary by country; Global Priority is priced the same worldwide. Starlink shows the final price for your address at checkout.

Starlink Business Plans and Prices
These are the US prices listed on Starlink’s Business plans page. You pick a starting plan, then add data blocks in your account as needed.
Local Priority (land, one country)
| Plan | Monthly price |
|---|---|
| Local Priority 50 GB | $55 |
| Local Priority 500 GB | $155 |
| Local Priority 1 TB | $280 |
| Local Priority 2 TB | $530 |
| Add 50 GB | +$25 |
| Add 500 GB | +$125 |
Global Priority (ocean and worldwide)
| Plan | Monthly price |
|---|---|
| Global Priority 50 GB | $250 |
| Global Priority 500 GB | $650 |
| Global Priority 1 TB | $1,150 |
| Global Priority 2 TB | $2,150 |
| Add 50 GB | +$100 |
| Add 500 GB | +$500 |
Both plans include unlimited data at up to 1 Mbps download and 0.5 Mbps upload once your priority data is used, and both include the service-level agreement (Starlink). Hardware is a separate one-time cost: Starlink’s Business page says plans start “at $55/mo with a hardware cost of $349” (Starlink Business).
For a rough sense of scale, divide by 30: a 500 GB plan works out to about 16 GB a day, a 1 TB plan to about 33 GB a day, and a 2 TB plan to about 66 GB a day. Check your current internet bill or router for your real monthly usage before you pick one.
What Every Starlink Business Plan Includes
According to Starlink’s Help Center, both Priority plans include (Starlink Help Center; Starlink Business):
- Prioritized network access: Priority data is served ahead of other traffic when the network is busy.
- A public IP address: a publicly routable IPv4 address, which you switch on in your account (how to set it). It is assigned by DHCP, so it can change; see our Starlink static IP guide.
- In-motion use up to 100 mph (160 km/h, 87 knots).
- A telemetry dashboard for monitoring your Starlinks.
- 24/7 priority support.
- A 99.9% uptime service-level agreement (details below).
- Unlimited service locations: add as many sites as you need on one account (Starlink).
Business accounts can also defer software-update reboots by 3 days, so a Starlink doesn’t restart in the middle of the working day (Starlink Help Center).
Local Priority vs Global Priority
Local Priority
- Where: on land in one country, including lakes and rivers. Not for the ocean or coastal waters.
- Travel abroad: up to 60 days in a row outside your registered country.
- Price: varies by country (US from $55 a month).
- Starlinks per plan: one per service line.
Global Priority
- Where: anywhere Starlink is available, including the ocean. In coastal waters, only where Starlink or you hold the licence.
- Price: the same worldwide (from $250 a month).
- Starlinks per plan: up to two on the same vehicle, vessel or building, set up through Starlink Support.
Source: Starlink Help Center; land vs ocean. Starlink counts every area marked available, waitlist or coming soon on its availability map as land. Marinas and coastlines count as ocean, though Starlink says stationary use there works on either plan.
Rule of thumb: a shop, farm, office or truck that stays in one country needs Local Priority. A boat that goes offshore, or a business that moves between countries for more than 60 days at a time, needs Global Priority. For boats, see our Starlink for boats guide.
What Happens When Priority Data Runs Out
Your Starlink doesn’t cut off. It keeps working with unlimited data at up to 1 Mbps download and 0.5 Mbps upload, which is fine for email and card payments but too slow for most video. To stay at full speed you have three options (Starlink Help Center):
- Auto top-up: switch it on and Starlink buys more data whenever you run out. Unused data expires at the end of the billing cycle.
- A one-time 50 GB top-up, which doesn’t renew.
- Raise your monthly data: add 50 GB or 500 GB blocks. Changes to your recurring amount start next cycle, but you can apply a block to the current cycle immediately.
If you opt in to extra data, the overage is added up and charged at the end of the billing cycle, on your next bill (Starlink Help Center). For how Starlink’s data allowances work across all plans, see our Starlink data caps guide.
The Starlink Business SLA (99.9% Uptime)
On Local and Global Priority plans, Starlink commits to 99.9% uptime in each full billing period, counting every outage longer than one minute. If a Starlink misses that, Starlink automatically credits 20% of that period’s service and data fees (Starlink Help Center).
- What 99.9% means: in a 31-day billing cycle, total downtime must stay under about 45 minutes.
- The credit is fixed: 20%, whether you are just over the limit or down for a day.
- Your setup has to qualify: the dish must be powered on, have an unobstructed view of the sky, and (for a Standard dish) be aligned within 5°.
- Some outages don’t count: power-save mode, software updates, and time spent on the slowed-down speed after your data runs out.
- Missed outages: if Starlink doesn’t detect an outage automatically, open a support ticket within 14 days with the exact UTC time.
Starlink’s SLA article lists the Standard 4, Standard 4 X, Performance (Gen 1) and Performance (Gen 2) as covered. If you’re buying a newer kit, check the current article (Starlink Help Center).
Business Hardware: Standard, Performance or Mini
Business plans work with Starlink’s regular hardware as well as the rugged Performance kit:
- Starlink Standard: the same dish sold for homes. Starlink’s Business page lists hardware from $349 (Starlink Business). Our setup guide covers installing it.
- Starlink Performance (Gen 3): an aluminum-enclosed dish for harsh sites, extreme weather and vehicles. It runs on AC or DC power, carries a 3-year warranty and is “built for 10-year survivability”. It comes with an Advanced Power Supply, a 25 m cable and your choice of mount (Starlink Business; Starlink Help Center). Starlink says it does 400+ Mbps today, with gigabit plan upgrades planned during 2026 and no hardware change needed. Its price is shown when you order.
- Starlink Mini: also works with Local and Global Priority plans in most countries (Starlink Help Center). It’s useful for vehicles and small pop-up sites.
Power use matters if you run on solar or batteries; see Starlink power consumption.
Business vs Enterprise Accounts
Most companies buy online with a card and get a regular Business account. Starlink also offers Enterprise accounts for large fleets and companies that pay by invoice or wire (Starlink Help Center):
- Who qualifies: estimated annual Starlink spend over $1 million. Over $5 million adds an individual account manager and business reviews.
- What’s extra: data pooling across Starlinks, backhaul, Layer 2/Layer 3 VPN, aviation products, enhanced dashboard tools and an Enterprise API.
- Resellers: Starlink also sells through authorized commercial resellers, who add network management and integration services.
How to Order Starlink Business
- Go to starlink.com/business and choose fixed site, land mobility, maritime or aviation.
- Enter your service address and pick Local or Global Priority and a data amount.
- Choose your hardware and check out. Additional locations can be added later from your account.
Already have Residential? Place a new Business order with the same email address, and Starlink links the accounts. To move an existing dish to Business, transfer the device first, then activate it on the Business account at starlink.com/activate (Starlink Help Center).
Starlink says Business is sold on monthly contracts with a 30-day trial and full refund if you’re not satisfied (Starlink Business). Enterprise-size orders go through Starlink’s sales consultation form (Starlink Help Center).
Starlink Business vs Residential
At the low end the prices look the same, but the plans are built differently. US Residential costs $55, $85 or $130 a month for unlimited data at different speeds (Starlink Residential). Local Priority 50 GB is also $55, but for a fixed 50 GB of priority data plus the business extras: public IP, SLA, 24/7 priority support and in-motion use. A home office that just needs fast internet is usually better off on Residential. A business that needs a public IP, an uptime guarantee or several managed sites needs Business.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does Starlink Business cost per month?
In the US, Local Priority costs $55 (50 GB), $155 (500 GB), $280 (1 TB) or $530 (2 TB) a month. Global Priority costs $250 to $2,150. Hardware is extra, from $349 (Starlink).
Does Starlink Business have unlimited data?
Only at reduced speed. Each plan includes a set amount of priority data. After that you get unlimited data at up to 1 Mbps down and 0.5 Mbps up, unless you add more data.
What is Starlink Local Priority?
Starlink’s Business plan for use on land within one country, including lakes and rivers. It includes priority data, a public IP, the SLA and priority support, and can be used outside your registered country for up to 60 days in a row.
How much is Starlink Global Priority?
From $250 a month for 50 GB up to $2,150 for 2 TB, with extra data at $100 per 50 GB or $500 per 500 GB. Starlink charges the same Global Priority prices worldwide.
Is there a contract for Starlink Business?
No. Starlink says Business plans are monthly, with a 30-day trial and a full refund if you’re not satisfied (Starlink Business).
Does Starlink Business come with a static IP?
It includes a public IPv4 address, but Starlink says it is assigned by DHCP, so it isn’t guaranteed never to change (Starlink). See our Starlink static IP guide for workarounds.
Can I use Starlink Business at home?
Yes, anyone can order it. It usually only makes sense at home if you need a public IP address, the SLA or priority support. Otherwise Residential gives unlimited data for similar or less money.
Is Starlink Business faster than Residential?
Not always. Priority data is served first when the network is busy, so the difference shows most in congested areas and peak hours. In a quiet area, Residential and Business can perform about the same.
How do I switch from Residential to Business?
Place a new Business order with the same email address. To reuse your dish, transfer it first, then activate it on the Business account (Starlink Help Center).
