2026 verdict
What will it cost after checkout? On running cost and platform support, the Eufy Video Doorbell S220 beats the Ring Battery Doorbell Plus in this battery doorbell pairing.
It records 2K clips to a eufy HomeBase with no subscription, detects people on the device for free, works with Google Home as well as Alexa and is the lower priced of the two. The Ring Battery Doorbell Plus is the better reviewed and brings colour night vision, a tall 150 by 150 degree head-to-toe view, a quick-release battery pack and package alerts with a plan, but it keeps no video without Ring's subscription. Both run on battery or wiring and use 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi. Choose the Eufy Video Doorbell S220 if you own or will buy a HomeBase, and the Ring Battery Doorbell Plus for an Alexa home that already pays for Ring.

What the differences mean
Storage and fees
The Eufy Video Doorbell S220 records to a eufy HomeBase with no subscription, but it will not work without one. The Ring Battery Doorbell Plus keeps nothing without a Ring plan, which also unlocks person and package alerts.
Framing and night vision
The Ring sees a square 150 by 150 degrees head to toe and records colour at night. The Eufy records 2K with black and white night vision, so parcels on the mat are the Ring's strength.
Battery
The Eufy is rated for about 6 months per charge. The Ring's pack comes out without removing the doorbell, though owners note it charges over micro-USB after undoing a screw. Both can be hardwired.
Smart home platforms
The Eufy works with Google Home and Alexa. The Ring works with Alexa and Home Assistant but not Google Home.
Which one to buy if
- you will not pay a monthly fee
The Eufy Video Doorbell S220 keeps its clips on a HomeBase at no cost.
- your speakers and displays are Google Nest
The Eufy works with Google Home; the Ring Battery Doorbell Plus does not.
- you want colour night video of the whole doorstep
The Ring's 150 by 150 degree frame and colour night vision show visitors and parcels head to toe.
- you do not want to buy a base station
The Ring Battery Doorbell Plus works on its own, while the S220 needs a eufy HomeBase.

What owners say
Owners of both battery doorbells praise quick installs and clear video. Eufy Video Doorbell S220 owners put no fees and local storage first, several having left Ring for that reason, and they report units still working after five years, near-flawless person detection and long battery life. Ring Battery Doorbell Plus owners single out the quick-release battery pack, a head-to-toe view that shows parcels on the step and helpful Ring support. The complaints differ. Eufy owners warn that it needs a HomeBase to work, that two-way audio lags and that it can drop offline until the base is restarted. Ring owners say saved video and smart alerts need a paid plan they were not warned about, that the pack is recharged over micro-USB after undoing a torx screw, and that heavy traffic and cold drain it faster.
