Blink vs. Ring: Video doorbells compared

Blink and Ring video doorbells side by side.

Blink and Ring make some of the best security cameras and video doorbells we've tested. Despite competing against each other, both are owned by Amazon. Blink's entry-level approach means its devices are more affordable and simple to use. On the other hand, Ring's professional hardware extends advanced security and automation features to smart home devices ranging from smart locks to smart lighting systems. How much control you want over your security system will decide which video doorbell is the best fit for your home.

Blink offers just a single video doorbell aptly named Blink Video Doorbell ($59, Amazon). Ring's lineup consists of eight different models. These range from the $50 Ring Video Doorbell Wired to the Ring Video Doorbell Elite ($349, Amazon). Bigger isn't necessarily always better; however, the selection doesn't hurt. Both companies' cameras are among some of the best video doorbells around, so choosing between the two can be a challenge. Read on to see a breakdown of the features and costs of both the Blink and Ring video doorbells to make it easier to decide which is best for you.
