Purchasing and Managing Blink Subscription Plans

In-App Purchasing of Blink Subscription Plus Plans is gradually rolling out to eligible US customers with iOS devices. The latest version of the Blink app is required.

US customers now have the option and convenience of purchasing Blink Subscription Plus Plans on Amazon or using their Apple iOS devices. With a Blink Subscription Plan, you can make the most of your smart security. Save and share clips and live view recordings from your Blink devices conveniently in the cloud. Experience advanced features like Person Detection, Blink Moments, and more all through the Blink app.

Please note that pricing through third-party billing partners may vary.

Read below to learn more about about purchasing plans through Amazon and Apple subscription channels.

 Amazon Purchase

Visit the Amazon Blink Subscription purchase page or compare plans.

Note: Subscriptions in the US cannot be purchased on the Amazon marketplace app. If you're using a mobile device, you must use a browser such as Safari or Chrome when purchasing a subscription on Amazon.

Add a Basic Plan which covers one eligible device (Blink Outdoor 4, Wired Floodlight Camera, Video Doorbell, Mini, Mini 2, Indoor or Outdoor 3rd Gen) camera. 

The Plus Plan provides benefits for an unlimited number of Blink devices on an account.

Note: The XT, XT2 and (1st Gen) Indoor devices can only be added to a Plus Plan subscription. 
Blink subscription plans are only sold and managed on Amazon.com. Amazon Business accounts, Amazon Store Cards and Amazon Secured Cards can not be used to purchase Blink subscriptions.

The following steps also explain how to purchase and activate your subscription plan.

  1. Link your Amazon and Blink accounts. Learn more about linking your accounts.
    Note: It is important that your subscription plan is chosen, attached and purchased using the same Amazon.com account that is linked to your Blink account.

  2. Purchase a subscription plan. Customers will have the option for a Basic or Plus plan. Both tiers have a Monthly and Yearly option. 
     
  3. Choose the Device you’d like to attach to your subscription (only applies to Basic Plans since Plus Plans cover all eligible devices on a Blink account), and then select the Continue checkout button. Since Basic plans only cover single cameras, you may have multiple Basic plans within the same account, each covering a specific camera.

    Note: You will only have to manually attach devices if you have more eligible devices than Basic plans.

  4. Next place an order for the Subscription. 

  5. Your devices are now covered with a Blink subscription plan!

    You can then view and manage your purchased Blink Subscription Plans from Your Memberships and Subscriptions. Learn more about Managing Your Memberships and Subscriptions.

    After these steps your Blink subscription is activated and if you are within your free trial period, you will be charged when it ends. A bill item "BLINK AMZN.COM/BILL WA" will appear on your card statement. Learn about Linking a Blink Subscription Plan after Purchasing It.

In-App iOS Purchase

US customers can now purchase Blink Subscription Plus Plans directly on their Apple iOS devices. This feature allows customers to easily subscribe, manage, and enjoy their Blink services directly within the app interface, integrated with Apple subscriptions management platform. Note: Customers also have the option to purchase Blink Basic plans on Amazon.

Blink Subscription Plans enable exciting features including unlimited cloud video recording, 60-day unlimited cloud storage, Extended Live View, Photo Capture, Person Detection, Moments and Auto-Update Thumbnail. Learn more about Blink Subscription Plan features and benefits or compare plans.

In the U.S., in lieu of the Blink extended warranty, Eligible Blink Devices are covered via a service contract administered by SquareTrade, an Allstate company; SquareTrade/Allstate terms are available here. The cost for the Allstate Protection Plan is included in the cost of the Blink Plus Plan.
