What Garmin inReach Subscription Plan should I get? Should I get the Monthly Plan or Annual Plan?

How do I know if the Recreation plan in better than the Safety Plan or the Expedition Plan?

Monthly or Annual Subscription Plan?

Here’s what Garmin recommends when you’re considering a monthly or annual plan.

Personally, I would go a little farther with my advice.

If you will use your Garmin inReach satellite messenger up to 8 months, then it will still be less expensive then the annual plans.

However, I would absolutely recommend the monthly plan if you only go out in the summer, hunting season, ski season, etc.

Safety, Recreation or Expedition Plan?

Here are the plan features from Garmin.

For the majority of Garmin satellite messenger users, I would recommend the Recreation Plan. You will get up to 40 free messages and unlimited tracking points and location requests.

If you only want to use your satellite messenger in emergencies then the Safety Plan may be the right one for you.

If you like to message a lot or want greater detail on tracking intervals, then I would recommend you consider the Expedition Plan.

Final Thoughts

For most users, the monthly recreation plan is my recommendation.
