Which one do you need?
If the dish stays at your house, you want a Residential plan. If it travels with you, in an RV, a camper or on trips, you want Roam. Starlink says Residential service is meant for the registered service address, and that a Roam plan is required to use service at a different address or while traveling.
What about prices?
Starlink shows different plan prices on its Roam page and its service plans page, and offers change by address and date. We do not list prices here. Check your address on Starlink to see what you are offered, and read what Starlink costs.
Travel kit
If you want a small portable kit for trips, see Starlink Mini for travel. Any kit still needs a clear view of the sky, so see trees, roofs and mounts.
