Cellular trail camera plans compared: every tier, verified, and what four cameras really cost

The totals: 1, 2, 4 and 6 cameras

Computed from the tiers below, billed monthly unless the annual column says otherwise. This is the table nobody else publishes: the monthly bill for a real camera count, not a per-camera price.

Read the second table with Spypoint's free tier in mind: at 100 photos per camera per month, every row for Spypoint is $0. The cheapest paid tier is what's shown.

The three billing structures

• Flat per camera (Spypoint, Moultrie, Reconyx): four cameras cost four times one camera. Spypoint softens it with a free tier and annual discounts; Moultrie doesn't.
• Per camera with discounted additions plus an account-wide add-on (Tactacam): the first camera is full price, additional cameras are a dollar or so less, and the HD/on-demand add-on is one fee for the whole account. The more cameras, the better it looks.
• Descending per camera (Stealth Cam Unlimited): $20, $15, then $11 each. Expensive to start, gentler as you add.

Spypoint

The free tier is real: 100 photos, $0, "no activation fees, one plan per camera." Annual billing is where Spypoint wins outright ($10/mo unlimited). The catch is HD: $5 per 50 HD photos and $5 per 20 HD videos, per camera. A four-camera setup that wants HD on everything pays for four packs. Full explainer: Spypoint plans explained.

Tactacam Reveal

Unlimited is $13 for the first camera, $12 for each after; four cameras is $49/mo. Xtra, the add-on that carries unlimited HD photo and video requests and on-demand, is $9/mo for the whole account at three or more cameras. That single line is why Tactacam is the cheapest full-featured system at four cameras. Tactacam marks Xtra's pricing "available for a limited time only." Explainer: Tactacam Reveal plans explained.

Moultrie Mobile

"All cellular connected devices require a paid subscription." No free tier, no annual price shown for Standard or Unlimited. Video is metered (10 on Standard, 50 on Unlimited; add 50 for $1). Moultrie's plan page notes $7.99 per camera after first activation for the Pro Series; the Standard and Unlimited tiers are flat per camera. Explainer: Moultrie Mobile plans explained.

Stealth Cam Command

Standard at $5 for 600 photos is competitive with anyone. Unlimited at $20 for the first camera is the highest first-camera unlimited price we verified; the descending schedule brings four cameras to $57/mo. HD video downloads are $0.25 each on Standard; Live View is a $5/mo add-on for 60 minutes.

Reconyx

$250 a year per camera, and "active plan required for operation." A two-year agreement makes the HyperFire 4K Cellular free; the camera alone is $224.99. This is professional-survey pricing, and the camera is built for it (5-year warranty, native 4K, US-built).

The camera to pair with each plan

Two ecosystems deserve their own pages rather than a row in this table. Bushnell publishes no tier table at all, so the CelluCORE figures and the gap they leave are set out in Bushnell CelluCORE plans explained. And Reconyx sits so far outside the rest of the field — $250.00 a year per camera, against a free camera on a two-year agreement — that the comparison worth making is brand against brand, in Reconyx vs Tactacam and the Reconyx HyperFire 4K Cellular review.
