It’s part of father’s day’s promotion up to 33%. Several other Ring camera products are discounted but mainly wired models.
Chose this model over others because it has battery and solar panel. That’s good bargain for my needs.

CamelCamelCamel.
Not an expert in this area but I subscribed the top tier plan, $150 a year. With my limited knowledge, it works but it loses a lot of key features I need.

No - it still works without a subscription.
However there's no access to the devices once out of your wi-fi's range, and no saved data. We have 2 Ring devices, and they're fine for our intended purpose.
$99 for the battery cam spotlight (Aldi deal earlier this year), and $169 for the floodlight during an Amazon deal.

Which makes it pretty much useless, so get a Reolink… I could access all my cameras whilst overseas and have about a week's worth of backup footage and there is no subscription fee.
monthly subscription of $4.95 after a 30 days trial period.
A security camera that you purchase to own and still requires a sub to do its intended job. Utter bonkers.
Just get a Reolink, no subscription necessary.
Does your Reolink system include a floodlight with a sensor? Otherwise it's a useless comparison.

Yes
I hear ya. FYI. What you quoted is just for 1 device. It goes up to $15pm for all devices. I don’t wanna pay it too but it does bring good value for my needs.
sub to do its intended job
What was the intended job you after? cloud access? Name me a product which gives free cloud access?
Google it
Google not going to magically give free cloud subscription for security cameras similer to above.
Plus Reolink also need subscription, if you need to use the cloud service.
Name me a product which gives free cloud access?
I access my Reolink over the cloud for free…
I was refering to cloud storage, https://cloud.reolink.com/ ofcouse ring and google home and access it for free too without subscription.
I have about 15 cameras on it, have done for years so for my use case $150 a year is cheap.
$150 a year is cheap.
$0 a year is cheaper.
Does it require a subscription ?
