Starlink is arguably the most popular satellite internet service provider in the market today .

The Starlink Standard and Mini kits are two of the most accessible and widely used satellite internet providers.

They do have some overlap in terms of application and features, but there are also various differences between them.

We'll cover exactly how the Standard and the Mini kits vary from each other.

The Starlink Standard is available for two of the three Starlink Personal plans (Residential and Roam Unlimited ) While the Mini is limited to Roam , it's available for the more affordable 50 GB plan.

The Mini , although smaller, is a lot more expensive than the Standard , and has a smaller power supply.

If you're in a fixed site like your home, you might want the Standard since it's the only one with support for the Residential plan.

The Mini can be easily plugged into a car adapter, any 100W USB PD power source like a power station, or even your vehicle's own electrical system.

If you'll just be using Starlink at home, you might want more speed for binge-watching your Netflix shows or gaming with friends online.

The Standard 's out-of-the-box networking capabilities are more powerful than the Mini 's.
