Why I Regret Replacing Our Blink Video Doorbell with the Ring Video Doorbell

This video outlines the reasons I regret replacing my Blink video doorbell with the Ring video doorbell.

The main reason for me is the monthly subscription to access stored video. I understand both Ring and Blink require subscriptions but Blink offers specials from time-to-time of FREE storage subscriptions. We do not pay Blink any monthly fee for our storage.

The problem with blink is that the app takes sooo long to open, it makes it useless when someone rings the doorbell, by the time you open the app they're gone. No wonder that have a 2 star review on the app/play store
I'll be switching to ring soon

I agree 100% do not buy Ring low battery life

I have the ring doorbell and don’t like that I miss motion alert at times and that’s after I enhance my settings. My son has blink with the sync module. He bought on sale as a package deal on Amazon for $56 so he didn’t pay extra for the module as you mentioned. He loves it and I didn’t see a huge difference in the camera quality from my Ring. I’m thinking about switching to Blink due to the fact Ring just increased their annual subscription to $50 just to save videos etc. Blink’s sync module does this and there’s no subscription with it. Also the battery life is awful with Ring. It’s chargeable but doesn’t last long. And you have to change certain settings just to save battery life. Blink uses AA batteries but they last longer than Ring’s chargeable battery.

The Ring subscriptions have gone up by 42% here in the UK, 2 years ago, they were £24.99, last year £34.99, this year coming £49.99 - no way am I paying that increase!

Blink only lets you use 1 doorbell cam without the subscription. Your clips will be blank!

I have read reviews that, altho Blink does have the "Store Videos Locally" feature (at an extra one-time purchase of a separate device), it also constantly tries to Up-Sell you to the Subscription Cloud service. The reviewer took off a point because he thought that was annoying.
Has anybody else had this experience, and felt it was annoying?

I was told blink doorbell has 3 dollar a month fee or $10 a month with unlimited devices
